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.).

We love all about Melmay. We felt very comfortable during our stay there. Staff are very polite and kind all the time. Most important room is very clean and nicely decorated, You are not directly on the beach which is actually good because it’s quite all the time but with beach is only some minutes by bike or walk. Also is very good distance to restaurants.

New ZealandThere was no fridge, safe, or hairdryer in the room which is the first time I’ve come across this in Bali, especially in this price range for rooms. These amenities would be very useful and perhaps could be provided in the future.
Great location on the northern side of the island - handy for both sunrise and sunset beaches. Staff were helpful. Great to have the water cooler for topping up our bottles.

5 stars for this place! I was there with my mum, and just a few minutes after we arrived, we already felt at home. The room was clean, and the decoration was tasteful and refined. The swimming pool was very much appreciated after some good sunbathing and snorkeling. It’s hard to describe the vibe of this place — it was just magical. There is only 5 rooms,quiet and peace place. Agun was so friendly and welcoming. All the staff took great care of us. The breakfast was delicious and generous Terimakassih 🫶🏼

HungaryThe alley to get to the property is still to be developed. In the evening it's dark without any lights, no concrete road so in rainy season it gets muddy. It is on the norther part of the island which is less developed, however by bicycle it is super comfortable to access anything.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. The breakfast is tasty. It is few minutes walk from the sea, there are several bars, restaurants. The turtle beaches are basically next door.

AustraliaIt is about a 30 minute walk from the port, which is pretty hard with a big backpack but there is still a dozen restaurants within a 15 minute walk and you can rent bikes at the property. We did have one gecko that came into our bathroom through the open windows ( no fan in the bathroom) but the staff were able to get it out quickly and easily.
The location was very peaceful - far from the morning mosque prayers and close to the beach. Really friendly staff and delicious breakfast. There were also some adorable cats living on the property (not strays). Clean rooms and clean pool

United KingdomThere were a few occasions when smoke wafted in from bonfires elsewhere but this didn't stop us from extending our stay to 9 days (from 5) and most of the time it was fine. And obviously not the fault of the property.
We really like the staff - they speak English too The pool was very nice. The room was comfortable and cool. The breakfast was varied It was quiet as we were a long way from the mosque. They have a water dispensing machine that does hot/cold/normal and a supply of tea and coffee available free of charge. They have a couple of friendly cats.

GermanyStaying at Melmay was a wonderfully intimate experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the warmth and natural friendliness of the team. The breakfasts featured homemade bread, the pool was refreshing, and the bungalow was clean and comfortable, equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, hot water, a TV, and a fridge. With only four bungalows, Melmay offers a quiet and relaxing retreat. We look forward to returning and are thankful to the team for making our stay so special and memorable.

New ZealandThe only minor thing that is missing to make it truly perfect would be to offer some cocktails at the bar, by the pool 😄
Very nice, clean, and modern (we were there in December 2024). Very quiet too, as this is a fair distance from the mosque (it never woke us up). Very friendly staff. Four good breakfast options. We had an amazing stay. Thanks a lot.. Note, for those who care, the shower is on salt water, but not a problem for us. Pachamama restaurant that is just across the road is also fantastic.

SlovakiaEverything was great. :)
I cannot describe well enough in words how amazing stay I had in Melmay. It was definitely the nicest experience during my visit of Indonesia. Agung, Dady, Joe and Iwan are extremely helpful, make you feel very welcomed and they make sure you have everything you need. Also they have a cute kitten Koala. :) I felt there like at home and I wish I would not have to leave. There is a nice swimming pool where you can hang out. Breakfast are also very tasty, you can choose to have an omelette or smoothie bowl and during day you can have water, tea and coffee for free. Rooms are nicely decorated, there is silent A/C and you can ask to have the room cleaned every day. Also, it is conveniently located approximately 500 m from beach and turtle spot. There are 4 bungalows in total, so it foes not get too crowded either.

CanadaI have just stayed at Melmay which has recently been renovated to a great standard. From the moment I checked in I felt right at home. The staff were amazing and accommodated to my every need. I went to watch sunrise as it is just down the road. I usually skip breakfast but I am glad I didn’t with this one. The scrambled eggs with homemade toast were fantastic. Highly recommend.

GermanyThe problem with this place is that is totally overpriced. If it was announced as what it is, a simple, superficially renovated but totally decent bed and breakfast with good breakfast and no room service, it would be ok. It is a nice place. We just found the place overpriced, since we have stayed in catered villas with private pool for less. Is that perhaps the island price? If they adjust the price we would be happy to come again.
Superb and extremely friendly staff! They are such good hosts who are happy to help anytime. Great location and close by the beach. The pool.
