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 reviewStaff were accommodating when requesting to move rooms due to cleanliness and being nothing like the advertised pictures. Staff were friendly.
Room was nothing like pictured, no lockers, no bedding, no towel, no privacy curtains - you get what you pay for however if a room is advertised with photos you expect the room to be slightly similar to advertised.

We will work on ensuring that our rooms better reflect the advertised pictures and provide the necessary amenities for our guests. Warm Regards, Margarita Surf Hostel Canggu Team

Verified reviewThere is a 24 hour cafe next to the hostel which is very convenient specially for me who work during the night.
The place is dirty, the room is small and messy, the bed is not comfortable. Of course it is super cheap so you can’t expect much, but still too bad.

Verified reviewThis is basically just a place to sleep – nothing more. My (expensive and large) power bank was stolen during my stay, and I had no way to secure it because I wasn’t even given a locker. Many times, random people (not staying in the room or even in the hostel) entered my dorm to use the bathroom. It felt completely unregulated – anyone could walk in from the street, and no one was checking. The photos on the booking site are misleading. What looks like one hostel is actually a mix of different buildings. The reception and common area are directly by the street, but the actual hostel is located about 100 meters away in a different building. When I first arrived, I tried to connect to the Wi-Fi using the name and password written on the door, but it didn’t work. I walked to the reception and the guy there was rude, saying I should’ve just asked other guests for the password to the working Wi-Fi. I found that quite disrespectful – I wasn’t told the correct network when I checked in, and it’s not my job to ask random strangers about it. Overall, I never felt safe leaving my valuables there. I had to carry everything with me all the time. There are much better hostels in Canggu – do yourself a favor and skip this one.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for staying with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We will take your feedback into consideration and work on improving our security measures and guest services to ensure a more pleasant experience for future guests.

Verified reviewI stayed from the 16th until the 30th of December. It was a great experience, especially for the conviviality. It's very familiar and I was very well received. People are friendly and help with whatever is needed. If I return to Bali, I will definitely visit.

Verified reviewMargarita Surf Hostel Canggu is a hidden gem! The outdoor pool was my go-to spot for cooling off after a day of exploring. The hostel’s garden is beautiful, and I spent a lot of time just lounging on the terrace. They’ve got everything you need – free parking, fast WiFi, and even yoga sessions. The American cuisine at the restaurant was a nice touch, and I loved that I could rent a bike and explore the area. Definitely a five-star experience!
