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.).

Brunei DarussalamNo night security and narrow winding walkways. In the day during checkin, lots of men at the eating places but no danger of lingering. Entrance at night is dark for solo females, but there is a massage shop nearby whose female staff could see me walk.
The cultural classes are a must. Central location around amazing restaurants and craft market. Basic, clean facilities with warm, attentive service. Amazing value and happy to support its community mission as a library. The noise from the bar wasn’t as loud as expected and the singers had great voices. Friendly elders and dogs in the morning were lovely endings.

United KingdomThere wasn’t any electrical sockets around the room only one on each side next to bed and these had lamps plugged in and were behind bedside tables.
Really enjoyed our stay here the rooms are very clean and modern and the bed was comfy. Staff were great and even arranged a transfer to our next place for us. The location is perfect right in the centre of Ubud.

United KingdomSimply personal preference and not being used to open showers next to the toilet - the bathroom is clean enough, but generally a little damp, a bit tired due to age of the place. However the staff (+ Yulia especially) is really lovely and friendly, and cleaned my room everyday as requested. Some other reviews complained of smells etc - but my room was fine :)
Central location, although a little tricky to locate (look for the blue arches/gates behind the soccer field and carpark). Clean room. Refillable water facilities. By keeping the balcony windows closed, my room was bug-free (safe from mozzies), which is so needed!!

United KingdomAs others have mentioned, the music from the bar closeby is very loud and goes on for a long time every night. This is not the owner’s fault but is about location of bars so close to residential and renting locations
Location and space were great. Staff were nice and very helpful. Rooms were clean and had what we needed.

IndonesiaCould be improved: 1. The bathroom had only with rain-shower, there was no hand-shower, which makes your head wet every time you get a shower, as there is no shower cap provided. There was no shower curtain, and a floor border to keep the other floor dry. The bathroom floor is all wet after use. 2. There was no drinking water in the room, but refillable water gallons were available in the kitchen next to the lobby. The host should provide a bottle of water in the room and refill it if the guests need more. 3. The noise of music from the neighbour's bar, not too loud, but I could hear it from the second-floor room.
The location is super good. It is located right in the heart of Ubud centre, within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.

It's very central, close to the main street. AC was ok, also WiFi was good. Pool was very nice. The guesthouse in on a back alley but ok to reach. Good value for money.
