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 reviewLocation, ambiance and the staff!
The fact that the room is small doesn’t matter. It’s wonderful to sleep here. What would be really helpful, though, is having some clothes hooks in the bathroom. Right now, when you take a shower, there’s nowhere to put your clothes. It would be a small investment but a big improvement in comfort. And it feels very strange that as a guest of this hotel — where you spend quite a bit of money — you are confronted every day with the “minimum spend” requirement for a sunbed on the beach. I believe that should really be different.

Verified reviewGreat stay, a bit pricey. But for the location and the scuba services it was grand. A bit upset I moved from the top floor to the bottom floor on the first day.
Wifi didn’t work, had to spend $40 of my own money

HI Yadav, Thanks for staying with us and taking the time to leave us a review. Sorry to hear you did not think our charge is worth it. It is the busiest time of the year, this does reflect in the price you pay for hotel stays. We do believe we charge a very fair rate for our rooms in a prime location, if in the future you would look at places that are not right in the centre and in front of the beach you will probably get a cheaper nightly rate :) Enjoy the rest of your travels! Kindest regards The Gili Divers Hotel Team.

Hi Saayonton Thanks for staying with us and taking the time to leave us a review. Sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations. The size and facilities is clearly communicated on our page, we will have another look to see how we can make it even clearer. Our cleaning team comes every day to clean the rooms, we would have loved to hear if this was not meeting your standards so we could have resolved it right away. Cleanliness is our first priority.

Verified reviewThe location is ideal, close to the port and all the nightlife. The room itself is small and fairly basic, so don’t go expecting luxury. But if you’re looking for convenience, this hotel is a solid choice.
The rooms are quite small and the hospitality could be improved.

Verified reviewThe property was clean and it was near the main strip which was very convenient
The WIFI is extremely bad and there is loud music that comes on randomly throughout the night I assume for religious reasons so if a couple expecting a quiet romantic night this might not be the hotel for you

Verified reviewThe overall was good, but we are not very picky!
We stayed in 2 different rooms, both were attached to the kitchen and too close to the mosque. They provide earplugs which helped but the noise is too much for people who can't handle noise. The room also allows all light to go inside.

Verified reviewGreat location, staff and overall experience. Very clean and staff made sure we were accommodated and welcomed.
We came with a 2yo and the second floor room was a bit inconvenient. Having said that, staff members moved us downstairs as soon as they could and this helped us a lot. Rooms are a bit small but did not change the very good experience we had! Mosque’s nearby and very loud - we got used to that after the third day.

it was all fine- just we stupidly booked a diving hotel as non divers/ so we didn’t use the pool as we didn’t want to disturb any lessons

Verified reviewThe place is really nice, although, very noisy! There’s a mosque just behind it, the prayers start at 5am and it’s super loud! They should inform that on the description, so guests can be aware of it beforehand but the reception informed me that they can’t change it which sounded a bit weird to be honest. My room was number 2, very close to the kitchen, which was also very noisy until 11pm at least. The photos show sun beds, but it does not belong to the hotel, it is the restaurant in front of it- that’s such a scam because I thought I could access it as it’s a beachfront hotel.
Hi Dessa! Thanks for staying with us and taking the time to leave us a review. Sadly the photos of the mosque and the extra information about our proximity to the mosque in our photo album, and the information you received about this in your booking confirmation was not enough to make you aware of this before you arrived. What we can not do is change the description, it is automatically created by AI. The sunloungers require a minimum spend during the peak season, but the large sofas and other comfortable furniture do not. We will make sure we communicate this upfront. Enjoy the rest of your travels Kindest regards The Gili Divers Hotel team

Verified reviewWe only stayed for one night, but it was such a nice experience. The location is incredible, right by the beach and close to everything you need on the island. I think our highlight was the staff, though! They were so nice and you could tell they genuinely care about their guests, always around to lend a hand or give recommendations. We felt super welcome and well looked after. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had great aircon, which was much appreciated after a day in the sun! We were gutted that we didn’t have time to dive during this trip, because the dive shop had such a friendly vibe and we had fomo every time we saw the boat leave. Would definitely stay again, hopefully for longer next time!

Verified reviewLocation.
This was not an enjoyable stay for me and my girlfriend for a number of reasons, however Here's the 3 main reasons. 1. Cockroaches- over the course of 4 nights, we encountered 3 large Cockroaches and one of them crawled up my leg while I was sleeping. I've never experienced this in my entire 3 months of travelling around southeast Asia. 2. The noise was horrific. The Mosque was very close to the premises and was incredibly noisy all day and night. Me and my girlfriend are reasonably deep sleepers but it was so loud that it woke us up and 5am every morning without fail. The hotel gave us some earplugs but they made no difference as the noise was so intense. 3. The diving instructors were obnoxious- This building is also a diving school where people learn to scuba dive. This wouldn't be a problem except the scuba instructors made us feel very uncomfortable every time we entered the building. They all sit at the front of the premises and every time we would go to walk in, one of the instructors would jump up off their seat, stand in the middle of the walkway and say "can i help you?" as if we were intruding the building. This meant that we had to explain that we were staying in the premises over and over again which became incredibly annoying and it didn't make us feel welcome at all. I really think the hotel should do something about this as my girlfriend suffers with bad anxiety and having people consistently block our entrance and ask why we was there definitely didn't help. Also just to add to that, the instructors stayed in the accommodation also and were very loud partying all night. Overall, we didn't enjoy our stay and wouldn't recommend this to others, it wasn't a good experience.
Dear Josh Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your stay at Gili Divers Hotel. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you experienced, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Cockroaches: We understand how unsettling it can be to encounter pests during your stay. Gili Island is a tropical location, and while we take all necessary measures to maintain cleanliness, occasional sightings can occur. We have already taken steps to address this matter by ensuring that pest control measures are in place for future guests. We also understand this impacted your stay, and as you mentioned, we have provided you with a refund as compensation for the inconvenience. Noise from the Mosque: We sincerely apologize for the noise disruption you encountered during your stay. As you were visiting during Ramadan, the island is predominantly Muslim, and the calls to prayer are an important part of the cultural and religious experience. We do mention the proximity to the mosque in our hotel description, and we regret that this was not fully considered during your booking. We understand that this may have caused discomfort, and we truly appreciate your understanding of the cultural context. Diving Instructors: Our staff is trained to ensure that all our guests feel welcome and comfortable during their stay. We apologize for any behavior that made you feel uncomfortable. Our instructors are part of the Gili Divers community, and while we encourage enthusiasm for diving, we do not intend for this to affect our guests' experience. We will address this concern with our team to ensure that future guests do not feel disturbed or unwelcome. We truly regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we thank you for your feedback, which helps us improve our services. We hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future. Kind regards, Yodia Manager, Gili Divers Hotel
