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.).

There was no toilet paper provided in the bathroom
The room was clean and comfortable. Good AC and wifi. Complimentary water provided. The breakfast was pancakes and coffee/tea Close to the Kraton but about 1.5 km away from the city centre. The shower water was cool but this was not too much of an issue as it was hot and humid outside

no hot water, just little warm water to shower. Our room has a small fridge but it's not working, they should have just removed it to maintain the expectation. but overall, we enjoyed our stay!
friendly staff, clean, bed and pillows are comfortable, and spacious parking space, also they provide a prayer cloth and mat in the room for muslim guests.

- I don't know why but in my 3 nights stay i just get 1 breakfast and i don't bother to ask why too - They didn't clean the room at all,fortunately i am used to make up and clean my own room so it's not a big deal. But they always provide 2 bottles of mineral water,coffee,tea,and sugar in the table in front of our room.
- The modern design both of the bedroom and the bathroom,eventhough I got a quite small bathroom. The room is bigger than standar hotel size. - The ambience is like a classic hotel which is built horizontally,have some gardens,chair and table in front of our room - Enermous parking lot - They have their own minimarket in front of the hotel

Apparently I came with a terrible timing, as there is a party held at the premises. Sadly I have to go through the party to go to and from my room, making me think I’m a nuisance to the party.
Strategic location (a few mins walk from Keraton Surakarta), excellent facilities, complete amenities, friendly and helpful staff, and budget-friendly.

Room was pretty loud till late directly by reception and entrance. Room felt old and run down and felt crammed no space for our luggage. Nothing really around the area at all.
Super delicious pancakes for breakfast. Bed was comfortable. Had a little store to buy snacks.
