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 reviewThe price and the host (very nice!) + the location good for a trip to Ijen
No AC (but well, given the price you pay you cannot complain), could be cleaner

Verified reviewWas it a quiet neighbourhood as in a residential area a distance from any real shopping area.
At the Booking website the place is indicated as beachfront which is misleading. Not many choices for breakfast as no nearby shops.

Verified reviewThe owner is fantastic! He drove us to get food when we came in late and needed vegan options. He is also full of environmental knowledge that was fantastic to learn about and he was willing to teach it! He showed us some local plants and we LOVED that added piece! He also took us to Ijen and the ferry for a decent price. Can't say enough about him!
I might of missed it, but we didn't know we had to pay extra for air conditioning. You must pay the extra if you stay there because our room was hotter than outside and we sweated all night even with a fan blowing on us.

Verified reviewFendy and his family were really friendly and they help us wherever they could. The tours with fendy were a little but pricier but really worth it. Especially the snorkeling was really cool! Fendy showed us many other things and he explains a lot and you can ask him about anything.
The room was really hot and there is no ac. Also there were no hooks to hang stuff. The homestay is not right at the mainroad and you have to walk about 15min to get there.

Verified reviewYou won't find a better value for money. The homestay is just a perfect place to spend a night or two for your trip to Ijen or around Banyuwangi. Affordable food options in the area, owners are very nice and eager to help with anything. They also organize a tour to the volcano combined with a visit to plantations and waterfall which we enjoyed very much . Definitely recommend!

Verified reviewWe loved our time here! We arrived at 5am and were able to check in early, which was amazing! We did the Ijen Tour and a day of snorkelling with the host. This was for a very good price and we enjoyed ourselves! The host family were so friendly and accommodating. We were able to book our transport to Bali here as well. Thank you for the help!
The room can get hot during the day but you are provided with a fan.
