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.).

SwitzerlandConveniently located close to the port, since we wanted to take the boat to Gili‘s the following morning. The host was super nice and accommodating for late arrivals and giving us advice for our upcoming destinations. He also made us some delicious breakfast :)

United KingdomThere is a very big set of stairs before you get to the entrance which is a nightmare with big suitcases. A little noisy (I think every accommodation in Padang Bai is though as noise from animals, boats and speakers can be heard everywhere).
Super helpful staff - the owner stored our luggage whilst we went to Gili T and also organised a driver to take us to Sidemen (taxi drivers at the port are aggressive and Grab is not trustworthy in the area). Very spacious room (we had private room, not dorm)

People were super lovely and generous. The views from the balcony over the town are beautiful! Close to a nice swimming beach. Bed was comfy, included breakfast was good. Overall was a really chill, quiet but friendly place to stay.

United StatesThis place is lovely. The view and room are very good. The bed is comfortable. It took 8 minutes for the water to get warm in the shower, just FYI. AND although it's location is close to the port, know that there is a final climb of 70 uneven stairs. If you are carrying heavy luggage, or children, or have health issues, simply know this. There was no mention of it in any owner's correspondences .

GermanyIt was really nice and is based on trust. You have to walk up some stairs to get to the hostel and don’t be fooled. You cannot get there from above. Google Maps is wrong! In general it was really nice and super sweet people. Good breakfast. Perfect view and close to the Harbour. Thanks!

I book the fast boat ticket at the hotel so there was a guy leading me to fast boat ticket center. I think it was helpful for a new person who wanna aceess to Lombok.

AustraliaUnfortunately we had an issue when buying tickets to Gili T through Lemon House. We paid money upfront for tickets and had to push for a receipt. We then discovered we had been overcharged the money was returned but it really impacted on our stay. The sheets do not fit the bed which becomes uncomfortable, they do not supply water with room or soap.
The view from the hotel is amazing over Padang Bai. The breakfast is good and the bamboo furnishings look lovely
