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.).

AustraliaAfter moving on we realised we were a little isolated from town but that can also be a good thing..
Beautiful a frame apartments with open air bathrooms and small Kitchenette. Large water fountain was wonderful as we drink maids of water, tea and coffee supplied. I had a cold when we arrived and staff were wondering running to town for lozenges etc. Lunch and dinner were set menus and of a good size for us. The setting in the rice paddies was quiet and very picturesque we enjoyed wandering and taking photos. The pool was lovely albeit a little cold at this time of year.

AustraliaDue to the private and quiet location there are not many food options near by unless you have access to a bike or car.
The property was set in an idyllic field with palm trees and ocean views. It felt like a private, magic oasis. The rooms were well designed and comfortable and stocked with delicious drinks, snacks and water. The outdoor bathroom and shower was a fun novelty. The communal areas (pool, restaurant and spa) were clean and spacious allowing enough space for all guests. The food was delicious - some of the best meals I had on my whole trip to Bali! Home cooked, authentic and flavorsome. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home.

AustriaWe should have spent the Silent Day (Nyepi) at Desa Cabins too. Our bad.
Surrounded by rice paddies, looking through a coconut grove at the crushing waves at the beach while sitting on the veranda of our cosy A-frame cabin we felt like minor gods on the island of gods. The endless beach empty, our stomachs full with the simple but delicious dinner, listening to the birds, the frogs and the cicadas we feared the day we had to leave. Every single person on the staff was friendly, helpful and competent. Much of this - including many design choices - Desa Cabins owes to Diana, the woman who runs the place. Thank you Diana, Nanda, Bungi, ... and all the others who's names I shouldn't have forgotten.

AustraliaProbably avoid getting a massage till they've built the spa room. We were treated to a massage in a spare cabin but not something I would recommend for a relaxed therapy. The therapists tried their best. There's not much of a road leading in, not that the owners wear the blame for infrastructure but something to note. Bigger cars may fare better...ours was a tiny one.
Once we arrived and checked in, the grounds and sprawling cabin layout were the perfect antidote to the bumpy ride on the road in. Cute but small cabins, only 6 in total and a small but homely kitchen where they cook different menu's depending on the day. A highlight for us was the generously sized infinity pool, and plenty of sun loungers. This overlooks an expansive rice paddy run by locals and presents a peaceful beachfront rice farm with cows and ducks plenty nearby. Dog lovers may find this stay more enjoyable.

AustraliaNothing else around so would only be suitable for complete relaxation and not wanting to do anything but relax beside the pool. There are limited dining options, no menu in restaurant and nothing near by for food and dining so this is very limited.

AustraliaDiana and her team really made a great stay fantastic! What can I say - the food was delicious, great pool overlooking the rice fields and ocean beyond, and of course my cabin with its amazing outdoor bathroom with views across the rice fields to the hills beyond. For me it was the perfect chillout break. Thank you!

United StatesWe love everything.
We stayed at Desa Cabin for 3 nights, and it was our absolute favorite place to stay during our trip to Bali. While we visited Ubud, Canggu, and Uluwatu, this peaceful and quiet retreat stood out as the perfect escape from the crowds. Oma, the manager, made sure we felt comfortable and at home throughout our stay, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and kind. The food was amazing, the pool was stunning, and everything about the cabin was designed for tranquility. Our cabin room was perfect, and we loved the walk to the beach through the rice fields. A special highlight was the friendly and well-behaved dogs on the property, which added to the charm. Thank you, Oma, and all the staff for making our stay so memorable. Desa Cabin was the perfect end to our Bali adventure before heading back to the United States. We’ll always cherish our time here and can’t wait to return!

United Kingdomthere is nothing to not like this place is magic!
absolutely everything! this is the best place in Bali! it is away from al the crowds and buys areas very intimate and it allows you to relax and enjoy the real Bali vibe. The stuff is extremely friendly and Diana who is the manager is more like your friend making you feel very welcomed. We could not be happier with the choice of accommodation for our second week in Bali. We read some previous reviews from other guest that the place is too far and not much around but who cares- if you need a place where you are surrounded by nature, close to the beautiful beach and you can relax and enjoy peace and quiet this is the best place you can find. Food in their restaurant is absolutely delicious and it was so nice of them that they catered specially the menus for us as vegans :) the best holiday destination!
