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.).

There are still those places in the world that are effortlessly beautiful and good. BK homestay is one of them. With unbeatable location in front of the main point, good sized, clean and comfortable rooms and amazing staff is difficult to think of anything better for the price. Thanks Ali and Mo for being incredibly welcoming and wonderful hosts.

NetherlandsBK Homestay is perfectly located in Batukaras - right next to the main surfspot, as well as some nice restaurants and shops. The room is basic but well cleaned, and has a very comfortable bed and a lovely balcony. The host Kammal and owner Ali are very friendly (just like everyone else in Batukaras), and will help you out with anything you may need during your stay!

DenmarkWe had an amazing stay at BK homestay! Kammal (the host) was super helpful and kind. He helped us with everything from laundry to arranging a boat trip on the river. We originally booked for two weeks, but ended up staying for almost five! The location was perfect for surfing and the atmosphere in Batukaras is calm and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

IndonesiaIt's just more than my expectations! The room has just been renovated so everything is new and clean. Walking distance to the surf spot, you can even see the beach from the balcony. The cafe is just on the first floor. The owner is friendly, he will give you any information you need. If there is a mirror that would be great. No toiletry provided but you can buy at the local shops nearby.

NetherlandsGreat stay in Batukaras! Dont expect any luxury but if you are happy with the basics this is a 10/10. The host was amazing, he gave us a lot of tips where to go to (we had a scooter which is great to get around). Batukaras in a small little fishing / surfing village and feels very welcoming. We also went with him on a full day tour which was absolutely amazing!! We had the best day exploring the countryside. He gave us all kind of local insights and took us on roads we would have never done ourselves. Thank you so much!

ItalyWe booked 1 night in bk homestay and ended up staying almost a month. Kammal was the best helping us in whatever we needed, from renting scooter, surfboard, to all the info for extend our visas or even giving us the tools to make bracelets, we really owe a big thank to Kammal. The position of the homestay is the best if you want to surf as it is right in front of the most famous surf break in Batukaras. We really liked that we could use the kitchen. When we left the place was going under renovation. If we come back to Batukaras for sure we will be staying here. Thanks bk!

DenmarkSimple place, but with all you need for a great surfcation in Batukaras. I was only supposed to stay a few days, but ended up staying over a week because I enjoyed my time there so much 😊 BK is located right by the point, so you can be in the water within a minute, and it is close to different restaurants and warungs. Kammal, who has the place, is a great host. He showed me different local sights like the Green Valley and a ram fight, and he is all in all really fun to hang out with and super helpful! Tschüss and hope to see you again
