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.).

When I arrived I was told that there was no room for me and I was moved to another home stay a minute’s walk away. This room wasn’t the same as what I had paid for.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your arrival. Due to an unexpected delay in the final finishing of our hostel, we were unable to prepare your reserved room in time. As a temporary solution, we arranged accommodation at a nearby homestay just a minute’s walk away and offered a private room to ensure your comfort. We understand this was not the experience you had expected, and we truly regret any inconvenience caused. We’re happy to inform you that as of July 22nd, Dong Paloh Hostel has resumed normal operations. Our newly completed rooftop area is now open, offering an even better space for our guests to relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain views. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future for a better experience. Warm regards, Dong Paloh Hostel Management Team

Verified review- great mattresses and a lot of space to put your things (locker, space next to bed and some shelves too!) - Indonesian owned hostel. Great staff - friendly, helpful and accommodating - great location to do the waterfall hike (highly recommend!!) - food at the restaurant is great, and lots of other warnings/cafes in walking distance
- the noise from the restaurant is extremely loud and aggressive (right on the main road with lots of traffic) - Pillows are way too thick. Really hurt my neck to the point of needing to sleep without a pillow. We were multiple people feeling the same way - no hot water and very bad water pressure - roosters start singing at 3-4am. Not the hostels fault but you can hear them very loudly in the room in the middle of the night

Verified reviewGood location, hostel has a nice menu for breakfast and dinner. Staff friendly, helped me organizing a taxi scooter for several days. Rooms are spacious, have big lockers, a balcony, a big table and beds with own lights/curtain, etc.
In the room there's space to chat and meet other people, but it's close to the beds and people went to bed quite early. So it would've been nice if there was some space outside the rooms for people who want to stay up and chat/meet/have a drink..

Verified reviewVery kind host who helped us plan a hike past waterfalls and helped us get a driver to bring us to Ubud with some stops on the way like the Jatiluwih rice terraces. The location is perfect for the waterfall hike as you can just start walking from the hostel. Very beautiful environment. The restaurant has tasty food and the room was comfy!

Verified reviewStaff is very nice. Very cheap. You can get breakfast and other meals at the hostel. All people I met there were very social.
Only one bathroom that also included the shower for all six people. Cleanliness was also lacking a bit.

Verified reviewThe accommodation has definitely exceeded my expectations. Every member of the team is wonderful, the pillows and mattresses are probably the best I have tried in Indonesia, the room is always clean and the food is amazing. I can’t but recommend everyone to visit you when staying in Munduk.
