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 reviewI loved staying here at James Guest House with a lovely big spacious clean double room with a massive big bathroom. The room was clean tiled floor with a lovely long length mirror, tv remote and great air con. The shower was lovely and warm. Lots of wardrobe and cupbaord storage. also with bedside tables/lamps and outlets for plugging in your applicance. little balcony with seat and table and little clothes line but owner also can arrange to clean laundry. Room is cleaned daily by Petut niece of lovely owners Katut and Gday. Its a 10min walk down to the beach through the centre of Seminyak. Great location and supermarket up the road near by to stock your mini fridge. My 21 days flew by in Bali and would stay here again.
nothing really only that i would have loved to stay longer. I didnt really use the pool much as i was walking down to the beach.

Verified reviewVery welcoming and accommodating. Easy to book and check in. Very clean, comfortable and had a great nights sleep.
Nothing, maybe could be a little closer to the main strip, but that meant it was quiet and it is walking distance anyway.

Verified reviewDid not end up staying
Did not end up staying at this property. On the day of check in, I communicated with the host my anticipated check in time of 8-9. The host then informs me that check in closes after 8p. In the property listing, it states check in from 1400-midnight. If I had known check in was restricted to before 8p, I would not have booked. The host’s communication was poor.
Hello Sarah.. thank you for your comment, but I told to you... No worries Sarah.. Im staying at James Guest, its possible to cek in at late time. thank you..

Verified reviewSpotless!! The cleanest accommodation we’ve had in SE Asia, staff were so friendly and were always checking up on us to see if everything was okay which we loved. The bed was soooo comfy too! The most comfortable room ever. Great location too! Near everything but also far enough to have silence at night time.

Verified reviewGreat place in a calm street yet close to restaurants and shops. I only stayed here for my last night to be close to the airport but I really appreciated the comfy bed and spacious room.

Verified reviewCertainly! Here’s the updated upbeat version including the room details: ⸻ I absolutely loved staying here—it quickly became my home away from home! I felt super safe and genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived. Ketut was fantastic, like a warm, caring aunt looking out for you, and the staff? Absolutely outstanding! The room was spotless and cleaned daily, which made the stay even more comfortable. The location was spot-on, with great restaurants and supermarkets just around the corner, plus only a 15-minute walk to the beach to catch those unforgettable sunsets. I’m already excited to come back and can’t wait to stay here again in October!
Nothing, I loved it

Verified reviewLocation was convenient but only because I was visiting a friend just down the street.
THE SMELL OF THE BATHROOM! I dont know what it was but there is a very strong and bad smell coming in from the bathroom. It's either something to do with the pipes, or the outside.... Smells like poop. Horrible.
