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):
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.
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.).

BulgariaWow one of the best places we've stayed in Bali so far. The owner is so welcoming and helpful, always reachable if we had any questions or issues. The view is unbeatable, the room is big, clean and very comfortable with great little details. We also loved the little kitchen with free water, tea and coffee. Good restaurant in walkable distance. All this for a super affordable price, we can only recommend!

New ZealandI wouldn't hesitate to stay again, but there are a couple of drawbacks. You can hear everything outside the room, every word incl the TV in the next room, also people talking in the carpark. There was a dog barking untill 1am. At 7am the builder started hammering on an extention of this place. It's missing furniture like bedside tables, a shelf or wardrobe to stash your stuff. That's fixabke of course. Still I recommend staying here.
The view from the rooms Terrace is phantastic. Unbeatable. Close to shops and the big temple. Great place if you want to climb Mty Agung. Small common kitchen is great. All clean and tidy. Very good value for money

It’s a quiet and serene place, with a fantastic view of Mt. Agung. The staff is warm and will help you with good recommendations for activities around the property. They also give you a bowl of fruit every morning :)

DenmarkIt was difficult to get a transport when you don’t have your own motorbike or car. There’s no Gojek or grab in the area. Also it would be nice with a closet or shelf in the room for the clothes.

Sri LankaI must say, there is truly nothing I didn't like about my stay at Besakih Homestay. It stands out as the best homestay experience I have ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The stunning views of Mt. Agung and the serene surroundings truly made it a paradise on earth. The impeccable facilities, the attentive care provided by I Made Sudha and his son, and the proximity to the remarkable Mother Temple Besakih all added to the magic of my stay. I cannot find the right words to express how wonderful my experience was at this homestay. Every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations, and I left with unforgettable memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. Besakih Homestay has set a new standard for hospitality in my eyes, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly exceptional retreat in Bali.
Experience the tranquil oasis of Besakih Homestay, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of city life beneath the majestic Mt. Agung volcano, offering guests a truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring view. Wake up at the break of dawn to witness the magnificent sight of Mt. Agung before the clouds roll in, a moment that is sure to take your breath away. Conveniently located near the iconic Mother Temple Besakih, a must-visit attraction in Bali, this homestay offers impeccable facilities that cater to your every need. The owner, I Made Sudha, and his son are paragons of professionalism, ensuring that every guest is well taken care of during their stay. Their dedication to service is truly exceptional, deserving not just 5, but 10 stars for their outstanding hospitality. Surrounded by a myriad of restaurants and shops, Besakih Homestay provides a perfect base for exploring the beauty of Bali while enjoying a comfortable and pleasant stay. I am grateful for the memorable experience provided by I Made Sudha and his team, and I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable retreat in Bali.

RussiaStaff is nice and polite, but I think it’s not good when a guest comes, there’s nobody and no sign what to do — wait? Call? What number? I’d recommend you to text about it in advance in a message or put a sign with your number on the parking or reception. Cause if I didn’t guess to ask other guests who told me the number I think I could stand there for hours.
Beautiful quiet place with a good view. There’s a kitchen where you can make tea, coffee or cook something.

CanadaCleaning may be missed- perhaps because staff wants to give guests their privacy and uninterrupted stay time (but floors gather dust and insects easily in Bali) - it was always easy to touch base with owner or son to have cleaning lady come by, so not a big concern at all. Some noise from construction nearby (clearing trees and sometimes just trimming grass), sometimes from loud barking dogs at night that are not on the property, or from a karaoke bar (I understand) down the street. There was a pregnant cow on site (the neighbour's I believe) so for me, the occasional "moo" was a real treat and I always said hello to her each day. This town is small but quite open so I believe noise travels easily through the air. For me, it was nice to hear life around and I could still sleep through most of it. If someone is more noise-sensitive, bring some earplugs or at least expect this possible noise!
The breakfasts (3 to choose from) - were fabulous! I had a couple of the choices but a vegetable-rice Balinese dish (nasi campur) was my favourite - great serving size and great taste - with fruit, coffee, and extra water. (Water and coffee/tea available for free in kitchen anytime too). Loved that the owner drove me out to the town to visit a couple of local stores and the son drove me to and from (the very close) Besakih temple. Both checked in on me regularly. The view of the mountain (Mount Agung) is a breathtaking sight and the sunrise or moon beside it on the days I was there were picture-perfect!! Owner also brought me fresh young coconuts to enjoy the water - which I love! Also loved scooping out the young coconut from one!! Hot water in shower started immediately!! What a treat that I will certainly not forget!
