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 reviewIt is quiet and peaceful - and very clean.
I was not aware that the property was locked up during night - so I couldn‘t get out at first in the morning for my dolphin tour - I had to climb over a gate. It was my fault so tell the staff if you need to get out early in the morning

Verified reviewI loooved my stay at Araminth Guest House! It is so beautiful, very well maintained! The bathroom was huge, the bed comfortable. Breakfast or any other meals are not available but you can cook for yourself in the kitchen, which should provide everything you need. One of the staff - Bangi - was even so nice and take me to town with the scooter! It's a little far from the city center - about 10-15min of walking - but that's exactly what I wanted. It was quiet, I enjoyed the pool and they have so many areas where you can relax. They also offer massage right at the Guesthouse so you don't even have to leave. And the price for the room was unbeatable!
I loved everything about it!

Verified reviewBeautiful location and beautiful staff. The grounds are so nicely maintained and just lush! The massage we booked was also amazing!!
The bed was a bit too hard for my liking but that was just a minor thing.

Verified reviewThe staff welcomed me very warmly, which was a nice first impression. Also, the beds were clean and overall okay.
There was absolutely no soundproofing — it really felt like the neighbors were staying inside my room, as if there were no walls at all. There was also a terrible smell coming from the bathroom, and since the door to the outside was closed, there was no way to ventilate it. The lighting was very poor; half of the bulbs didn’t work, which made the room feel very dark. On my way from the parking area to the room, I almost slipped and fell badly. The concrete surface was so worn down that it became extremely slippery, almost like an ice slide. It felt dangerous and I’m sure the staff is aware of it, but nothing has been done. Additionally, the checkout time listed on Booking.com was until 1 pm, but in the morning they suddenly told me it was actually at 12 pm. I had planned my morning activities specifically so I could return by 1 pm to collect my things. Instead, I had to quickly change my plans, carry all my bags with me to breakfast, and this gave me a very negative start to the day.

Verified reviewThe staff - pandi and yogi in particular went out of their way to make me feel welcome and accommodated. I had to change rooms (personal preference) and the manager was able To Accommodate that for me. The pool was lovely -I spent a lot of time there! The gardens were lovely too and I loved sitting on my terrace listening to geckos and frogs. Special thank you to the manager for Getting me a kettle which I appreciated very much.
The path to pool was a little uneven - but on par for Bali - perhaps flat rocks instead of round ones might be better.

Verified reviewThe staff were really lovely and accommodating - nothing was too much trouble. The place itself was beautifully kept and the value for money was absolutely incredible. In fact the best value in 8 months on the road. I can't recommend this place enough, there are a couple of seriously great restaurants nearby and it's an easy walk to the beach, and loads of real budget options if you don't want to splash. The rooms are comfy, and there's even a passion fruit vine of some description so if you're there at the right time you can get fresh passion fruit for free. Nice clean pool, great for a cool off. Just exceptional. The only problem is that now everywhere else feels a bit rubbish by comparison. We booked three nights and stayed for ten. Best place we stayed in Bali, easily.
Nothing

Verified reviewThe guesthouse is located just outside Lovina Town, and we loved it because of its peaceful surroundings. We stayed there for 14 days and thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and the beautifully maintained garden. The staff was exceptionally friendly and very helpful. They even allowed us to store our luggage so that we could travel to Java with less baggage. We will definitely return. Thanks a lot!

The bathroom was a bit older but clean and worked perfectly. The guesthouse is situated a bit out of the city center so you’ll need a scooter. Would definitely recommend
