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 reviewWe loved the cats. The hotel is situated directly at the beach which is kinda nice if you want to spend your days at the beach (we saw many turtles!!!) The waiters are really nice and always fast.
The rooms are not clean (we found three cockroaches) and overall the bathroom was not really comfortable. Keep in mind, that the beach has a lot of rocks so shoes are nice to have.
Dear Ainhoa, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed our beach and the turtles. We are really sorry about the cleaning. We had a meeting this morning about this point, normally it is very clean, it is not normal for us. Thanks for the feedback. We hope to see you again despite this. Le Café Gili

Wasn’t an issue but be aware that the water from the taps is salt water
Dear Alana, we would like to thank you for your lovely review. Thank you for choosing Le Café Gili.

Verified reviewWhat a fabulous place which we booked by mistake 😀 as it is on Gili Meno not Gili T that we intended. But an extremely short boat trip and we arrived at an oasis of calmness and wonderful staff. We stayed in a bungalow, rustic and charming. The breakfast is excellent and we also had a fabulous BBQ meal. They also have a great happy hour cocktail menu. We’d highly recommend.
Loads of boats arrive in the bay to spot the turtles and the underwater statues, but only because it spoils the tranquility of the place.

Verified reviewThe place and room are just like poctures, very nice location, although it's far from the port, but it has its own beach and can hear some party sounds from Gili T at night which is quite interesting. Their staff are very friendly and helpful and can speak English well. A quiet and relaxing place where I will surely recommand to my friends.

The rooms are great for Couples who just want a basic getaway without blowing the bank! If you walk about 10meters out into the sea it's almost guaranteed you'll see a Turtle (or 10+).

Verified reviewThe STAFF, even by Indonesian standards, is unbelievably friendly and helpful. People like Supri and his colleagues are hard to find. The location is also fantastic for Gili Meno. Turtles come to graze in front of the hotel at 20m from the shore. Not to be missed!
The corals are mostly dead, which is a shame, but obviously not the hotel fault.
Dear Ricardo, warmest greeting from Le Café Gili. We would like to thank you for your nice review. For the corals, you should swim like 100 meters from the beach and it is just beautiful... Looking forward to welcoming back at our resort. Le Café Gili

Verified reviewThe location, staff and food/drink were very good. The bed was very comfy and mosquito nets were an added bonus.
I hadn't read that there was no fresh water for showering on the hotel description so this was a bit inconvenient although we only stayed for 1 night so managed. The bedroom was very small with little space to put clothes. If staying for more than a few nights, would say not suitably large enough.
Dear Alison, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry for the salted water but the whole island is currently devoid of fresh water, that's why you have a bucket of fresh water to rinse yourself after the shower. It is like the charm of our island. That is written on our website and on our social media, thank you for your understanding. Le Café Gili

Verified reviewI really enjoyed the property—we had a lovely villa, the breakfast was great, and the area was peaceful with some great restaurants nearby. I personally came to Gili to see turtles, and there’s a great spot just by the hotel, so I got exactly what I was hoping for. The room was cleaned daily, and the entire staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. A special thank you to Yuni—she truly made our stay even better!
It would be great if the property offered snorkeling masks, bicycles, or horse cart transfers for rent, or even had a few more activities available on-site—it would make things more convenient and enhance the overall experience.
