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.).

United KingdomToilets and shower all in one. No soap by the sink. Quite enclosed spaces. Seemed expensive for a hostel although with limited options in Gili meno this is understandable!
Female dorm was very clean, comfortable and the air con was decent. Sociable hostel with lots of activities and friendly people.

Cute and creative unique rooms. Lots of spaces to chill by your own or hangout with fellow travelers. Location is close to nearby eateries, beach and snorkelling spots. Fabian (volunteer) made us feel very welcomed and showed us to good food spots and sunset spots on the island :)

AustriaWe stayed at one of the two private bamboo rooms, which are great BUT it's really really really moist in the room. It's beyond just humidity. We couldn't spot any mold like other reviews said, but the condition was the single reason why we did not extend our stay and headed on instead. The AC has a dry-mode, but the condensation on the unit simply drops back down on the carpet, repeating the cycle. Having the private shower with a tiny window in the room doesn't seem to help either. These rooms should really be re-worked, but that's all we have to complain about. We didn't expect much due to the low price, but it was still underwhelming. It was still clean in the room, towels and bed sheets were smelling fresh, so nothing to complain about there.
The Hostel is something really great. The layout of the building, the vibe, the staff and especially the daily evening activities. There are english speaking volunteers as well, who really pull everything together. The hostel is very affordable, has a mini kitchen to use but also serves food all day around. Pretty great, especially when you're looking for something outside the norm. The building is also spot-on in the center of the island, and you really literally can reach everything within a few minutes by bike (rent is 50k for 24h). We joined a movie night spontaneously, while munching some french fries - was a great way to end the day!

United KingdomI’m not sure why this is the case but the shower water was salt water, not something we’ve experienced before while in Indonesia, it was a shock… didn’t feel like a proper clean.
This is a very interesting and fun hostel, located in the centre of Gili Meno. The staff were lovely and helpful, and the room was spacious and comfortable. There were daily activities as well as access to snorkel equipment etc.

SwedenThe shower had quite weak water and also contained salt water which meant you had to shower in it, this is not the hotel’s fault but unfortunately how things are on the island. Lots of noise due to its proximity to the mosque, as others have mentioned.
The flexibility. It’s good to have a single room for yourself where you can get some privacy, but still be able to utilise the communal spaces if you want to socialise. Located in the middle of the island so its close everywhere. Great volunteers!

NorwayThis is not the hostels fault, but there weren’t really many people there when i stayed. They really tried to make people join «family dinner», i really wanted to join, but we never could since we were never enough people. I also wanted to do the boat trip the hostel arranged, but the captain was not available aswel. Again, this wasn’t the hostels fault, but i was still sad. Besides that the volunteers are super good at finding other options to do, like movie nights, volleyball, snorkling, card games etc!
Very nice staff, they always helped you if there was anything. I really loved the volunteer aswel, she was super nice. The hostel is very cool made. I met some very nice people there. The food is also delicious, especially the smoothiebowl & yoghurt/granola.

The creativity of the place, really special and thoughtful. Staff and owner very friendly and super accomodating, social activities organized every day. Hostel is located exactly in the middle of the island so all beaches are accessible at the same distance. Quiet peaceful hostel with friendly vibes. 100% reccomended.

PortugalThe sand inside the hostel makes it harder to keep the floor of the hostel clean :/ Also I felt the price was a bit high and without breakfast included. Would be nice to have that included and just a better floor to walk around in the common areas.
There's a lot of activities with the hostel, tours, food buffets, boat rides and the room I stayed had a very confy bed.

FranceOn the other hand, if you opt for a private room, which was our case, you'll be placed in a separate building that feels somewhat neglected. Unfortunately, the bathroom in this area has a strong sewer smell. Our room wasn’t cleaned during our stay, leading to an overflowing trash in the bathroom and an overall feeling of uncleanliness. In summary, this hostel could be a good choice if you choose the shared dorms and want to enjoy the activities, but I wouldn’t recommend the private rooms.
I stayed at this hostel for 4 nights. The place has a very cool design in the shared spaces, with a great atmosphere and a wide range of activities organized, for each day of the week. The staff is very friendly and the shared dorms seem to be quite nice. We also really enjoyed the buffet dinner organized by them.

GermanyThe showers only operate with saltwater but I think that's a Gili Meno wide thing, so the hostel is not to blame.
The hostel is designed super comfortably and has a really nice vibe. There are many different chill areas in the hostel and they offer different activities like movie nights or sunset boat tours. They also have volunteers staying at the hostel, which was really nice. Nathan and Francesca were absolutely amazing and really made sure that there was a sense of community. I can only recommend this hostel.
