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 reviewBed's comfy, they did games in the evening
Absolutely insane construction noise going on from early in the morning, like the sound of a gun being fired directly into your ear canal. When I asked to move they "had no room" but promised it would only happen from 11-5, this was a lie!! When I asked about why the construction crew could peer directly into our bathroom & shower from above they did board up all the windows facing them which adds to the ambience. The pool does look fancy but the area's a building site. And a cockroach climbed over my friend's face while trying to sleep :)

Verified reviewThis is not a 5 star hotel so if you are picky yeah maybe you wont like it very much, but for us it was perfect 🤩. The room was super clean and smelled good its small but just enough for us . Toilet is clean and the bed is super confortable. Its very near the port like 7 minutes from gili trawangan port , everything is near by the beach restaurant and the beach clubs and stores . You can rent a electric scooter or a bicycle 🚲, but for us we didn’t need too and the all island is like 4 kilometers you can walk them if you want. To swim its better to walk a bit after the port from the hostel and you will find a place to swim for free . Overall we liked it and this hostel is totally worth it . I need to mention that the toilet is not super new there is some rust but for me i dont mind , and the breakfast they only serve omelette fruits 🍍🍌🍉 and waffles 🧇 omelette, so not much variety but its ok. They do have yoga class if you are interested and in the evening they offer family dinner but we did not try it. There is a water machine in the common area also

Verified reviewVery nice hostel in Gili T! The breakfast was amazing! All you can eat omelette, waffles and fruit! They had yoga which I unfortunately didn't join during my stay but everyone was saying how good it was! Also went on the snorkeling trip with them which was really nice to see some corals and turtles! I stayed on a single bed in the room which still had curtains which is a great touch!

Verified reviewGood location and nice pool and chill area in the shade. But quite disappointing as a backpacker hostel. Volunteers were unwelcoming and arrogant. Our room door didn’t lock and the staff did not nothing to fix it. The bathroom is open and has direct sunlight coming in, so i had to wear a hat and sunglasses to go to the bathroom :’) Also we didn’t get towels upon arriving and when they did, they smelled bad… Wouldn’t stay again unfortunately.
