How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewI really liked this place. The owners are always around, taking care of everything and helping with whatever you need. They keep the hostel clean and well-organized at all times. The pancakes are delicious! The shared room is comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious and clean. The common area is great — perfect for relaxing, having breakfast or a meal, or working on your laptop. The location is also very good: close to all the nightlife, but far enough that you don’t hear any noise at night. They also offer free coffee, tea, and drinking water. I didn’t really like the coffee, but it’s there if you want it. Lockers with keys are available to keep your belongings safe. The only thing I’d suggest — not really a complaint, more of a request — is to start breakfast at 7:00 AM so guests can leave earlier and still enjoy the included meal. I totally recommend this place!
Hi Matias, Thank you for staying, and also for your suggestion. However we’ve done our own small surveys, and we decided to start the free pancake not that early, both for our own life-work balance, and for most of the guests agreed with the existing time windows. Thanks, Candra

Verified reviewAbsolutely loved this hostel! It’s very relaxing and social hostel. The morning breakfast is absolutely delicious. The common area is equipped with a tea/coffee area 24/7 so that’s a nice touch. You can also book your snorkeling adventure directly with the hostel.

Verified reviewI didn’t do much research but I lucked out getting a non-party hostel on my first go on Gili T! I’m not into partying so this hostel was perfect for me - quiet, chill, but still pretty social. It’s basic but very clean and homey! Candra and his staff are such great hosts, they’re welcoming and helpful but not intrusive! Also they have the cutest cats!!!!

Verified reviewSuch an amazing place! Very chilled and relaxed but still sociable. Not a party hostel which is what I was after. Common area upstairs. It’s a basic but very clean and well run hostel. Couldn’t recommend it enough. The staff are super kind and helpful. The banana pancakes are AMAZING!

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The place was extremely clean, and the room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom was spotless as well. One of the highlights of my stay was the warm hospitality from Chandra – he was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure every guest was comfortable. He truly goes above and beyond. The location is also great – very close to a mosque, and hearing the call to prayer five times a day added a peaceful and comforting atmosphere to the experience. I also had the chance to meet some amazing people during my stay, which made it even more special. Chandra and the rest of the staff were all respectful, helpful, and genuinely friendly. I sincerely appreciate their efforts. If I ever come back to Gili T, I will definitely stay here again without hesitation. Thank you, Chandra, and thanks to THE HOUSE HOSTEL.
Hi Muhannad, Thank you for your stay, and for sure you are very welcome to come again in the future. Thanks, Candra
