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 reviewIn a great location with many awesome cafes, restaurants and funky shops. Also it was nice and quiet in terms of location.
My guesthouse was lovely but just way too dark at all hours of the day with not enough natural light coming through unfortunately. In addition, my room could have done with being cleaned more regularly. Other than that I had an enjoyable stay. 😊

Verified reviewWe loved our stay in aura bisma. It’s on a side street off the main road. Walking distance to markets, food, night shows/fire dances, laundry 2 doors down, massage parlours, you name it. I loved the open plan bungalows all grouped in the garden. Well kept rooms. We went in the pool and it was lovely.
The bathrooms are very outdated. The little bathroom floods because the water pressure doesn’t quite get the water in the bathtub from the wall. But everything else is gorgeous so easy to overlook.
Dear Jillian Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing Aura Bisma for your stay in Ubud! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our peaceful location, garden-style bungalows, and the nearby attractions. It’s wonderful to know that you had a chance to relax in the pool and explore the neighborhood — from the local markets to the fire dance performances. We truly appreciate your feedback about the bathroom. We understand how important comfort is, and your comments help us identify areas where we can improve. Please rest assured that we are taking steps to update and enhance the bathroom facilities for a better guest experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay in the heart of Ubud! Warm regards, Aura Bisma Team

Verified reviewLocation was great, near enough to everything but far enough away from the madness of the traffic and noise. Staff were very accommodating if you asked for anything but we're very respectful of your privacy too. Beds were very comfortable and clean, bathroom was clean and had great shower, lovely warm water, even had a big corner bath if you would have liked a bath. Lovely outside patio to sit on with table and chairs and a sofa, nice to sit in the evening after dinner (as long as you have lots of mosquito repellent on).
The pool was quite small if you like to swim though very clean and big enough to cool off in. Only room for 2 sun beds, however there were not too many people used when we were there, so was fine.
Dear Value Guest Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated our peaceful yet central location. It's great to know that you found the room clean and comfortable, and that the outdoor patio added a nice touch to your evenings — mosquito repellent definitely helps in our tropical setting! We're also glad our team could strike the right balance between being helpful and respectful of your privacy — that means a lot to us. Thank you for your feedback about the pool and sunbeds; while our pool is cozy, we're pleased it was still a nice spot to cool off during your stay. We truly appreciate your visit and would love to welcome you back again anytime you’re in Ubud! Warm regards, Aura Bisma Team

Verified reviewBeautiful gardens, nice pool to cool off in, good location to walk around city centre, good size terrace to sit under when raining, fresh water bottles every morning.
We booked 2 double rooms at the back of the property and they gave us a twin room which was at the front of the property and extremely noisy - they did refund us for that night though, and moved us the next day, lady at reception was nice about it. Very loud music most nights from a bar across the road until 11pm. They don't clean the rooms or even ask if we want it to be cleaned - had to specifically ask for new towels/mugs/coffee/tissue/rubbish removal. Duvet was just the inner, no cover - not hygienic. Room was grimy around the fridge and cutlery area, bathroom was damp, smelly, dingy and loud as there's a restaurant right next door where you can hear people talking all day (one rooms bathroom was better than the other with this). The stone pathways and stairs get very slippery when it rains, dangerously so for my elderly mother. Booked a sunrise jeep tour for pick up at 3.30am - the front door of the property was completely jammed, and we couldn't open it from the inside. Took about 30min until we could get out, with our driver there to help from the outside (so be mindful of this if you're doing the same).
Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed our gardens, pool, central location, and the comfort of having a terrace and daily fresh water. We're also glad our team was able to assist you with the room change and that you felt welcomed at reception. However, we’re truly sorry for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We sincerely apologize for the initial room issue, the noise disturbances, and the challenges regarding room cleanliness and maintenance. Your feedback is very important to us, and we take your concerns seriously. We are already reviewing our housekeeping procedures to ensure that guests are properly informed and regularly offered cleaning services and essentials. We will also look into the safety of our pathways and the front door issue you experienced—thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your comments help us to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Aura Bisma Guesthouse

Verified reviewLocation was great, property looked really nice from the outside, pool looked nice, lots of seating outside the room. Staff were very nice and dealt with any questions and requests promptly.
The pillowcase was stained but we didn’t complain as there were multiple pillows to choose from. The roof in our bathroom area was falling through and looked black and moulded. The lights in the bathroom would flicker and was quite irritating while showering, we did speak to the staff about this and they said they had an electrician in to del with the issue however it didn’t get sorted while we were there. Property is definitely you get what you pay for, a budget hotel/property.

Verified reviewGreat location. Close to lots of good stuff. Great value. The apartment was amazing with massive front terrace facing onto private garden. Idyllic. New bottled water every day. Staff lovely. It's like a private oasis and I would give it 11 out of 10 but for the comments below. Otherwise we would happily stay there forever. Lift your game Wayan and give the units a complete scrub down. Receptionist February was lovely. Very helpful.ì
Hygiene is woeful. There was a smell of sewage sometimes at night. The separate kitchen looked great until we opened the cupboards. Filthy doesn't begin to describe it. The bathroom seemed ok but the wall tiles haven't been wiped in many years. Gross. Very little hot water. The bath leaked onto the floor. The pool water was clear but had enough chlorine to burn the eyes off a sacred monkey at 50paces. Towels were standard Bali grey. In spite of all this I'd go back faster than a Gojek scooter on a shortcut. Wayan.. Spend some money on cleaning. Don't be so miserable.
Dear Joy Thank you for your incredibly detailed and honest review—we truly appreciate both the kind words and the constructive feedback. We're thrilled you enjoyed the location, value, and the charm of the apartment, and we’re especially glad to hear that February and the rest of the team made a great impression.
