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.).

However, I could hear EVERYTHING that was happening around me. A coin was dropped and I woke up. The first night I didn’t have neighbours, but then I heard everything

Bed was extremely firm and quite uncomfortable, could do with more than 1 pillow as you have no sitting area in the pod

Verified reviewIts the worst night I have ever had. I traveled in many countries, many hostels, and I have never met such unrespectful people. At 4am people were screaming, laughing, speaking in front of my door. I couldn’t sleep for the entire night. I paid 20euros for nothing, in the street would have been better. I had to ask to people to shut up, and no one from the hostels helped me with that. Even worst, sometime they participated to the talk ! You should make sure you rules are truely respected on this kind of place where you can hear absolutly everything.

Verified reviewThe capsule was a good value for money. It was very clean and cozy. We usually don't sleep in hostels but would definitely come back! The wifi was also fast. We didn't use the breakfast. The bathrooms were cleaned quite often.
It would be nice to have cabins with a sink and mirror. Bed was a bit too hard. For longer stays a bit more space for luggage would be nice.

Verified reviewA clever little pod hotel which was good for a few nights in Malang. It was spotlessly clean and the pods were very comfortable. It is not a social place, but if you need somewhere to lay your head before and after Bromo or the waterfall this is a good spot that won't break the bank. It is safe and everyone who works there is very nice.
The coffee machine only works if you have an indonesian bank account / qr scan pay set up. This is mildly infuriating if you wake up and desperately need a coffee but there are a couple of good cafes serving great coffee just a few minutes walk away.

Verified reviewIt's nice and clean and right near the main attraction of the town including the heritage village. Staff spoke good English.
Didn't realise there are common bathroom/toilet in pods. So be careful when you book it.
