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 reviewGreat homestay just 5 minutes from Pemuteran Beach. It’s clean and comfortable. The whole property is neat and tidy and kept to a very high standard. The outside bathroom is quirky and a fun addition. We organised a couple of taxi journeys with our host and both were with reputable drivers, which felt very safe. I would definitely return.
The breakfast was tasty but not much choice. Although not a problem for the price paid.
Thank you Beccy for stayed with us, you are our friendly guest and very enjoy the time here. we highly recommend to other hosts

Verified reviewLovely family run guesthouse. The gardens are stunning, and it was the perfect place to relax for a while. The beds are firm, aircon cold, and the cold water shower was perfect in these warm temps. It's just a few minutes' walk to warungs, convenience stores, and ATMs. 10 mins to the beach. Nice light breakfast served on-site.
Thank Rosemary. Thank you for stayed with us, you are our friendly guest and very enjoy your time. hope you back for next time. we highly recommend to another hosts

Verified reviewThis place is hands down one of the best homestays I’ve been to in Bali. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family by the most amazing hosts. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine hospitality went above and beyond, making my stay even more memorable. The room was spacious, with a super comfortable bed and excellent air conditioning. I especially loved the al fresco bathroom—it added such a refreshing and unique touch to the whole experience. If you’re looking for incredible value, beautiful surroundings, and a place less than 200m from the beach with a truly welcoming vibe, I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll 100% be back next time I’m in the area.
Nothing, it was perfect.
Tyrone is a very friendly guest, very pleasant, easy to communicate and responsive. I would highly recommend him to other hosts. The right words for him are thank you for staying with us, have a great time and see you next time

Verified reviewWonderful, caring hosts. Great location a short stroll between the beach and main street. Lovely location in the off season, very few tourists on the beaches. Beachside location with plenty of eateries and activities and well maintained beach. Highly recommend for a relaxing break. Beaches were very clean and well cared for. Snorkelling at Menjangun Island was a beautiful experience, great variety of sea life. We even saw a turtle
Nothing. I loved it all.

One dog at night scared the hell of me, I think it was the dog of the owner. Just have to be careful of the dogs when you come back to the place by foot at night.

Verified reviewThe family who run Pondok Rahayu are so friendly and kind. The owners Budi and Nila are really lovely. I felt so at home. Only 7 rooms so not a million guests running around. Lovely garden. Breakfast is nice. You can eat while chatting to others at the main seating area or choose to have it at your own verandah. The beach is just 5 mins walk. And only 2 mins walk to the main street of Pemuteran for cafes and restaurants. Perfect location. All round great choice.
If you must have consistently hot water in the shower then you might not find it here. Personally with 30 degree weather I don't care but thought I'd mention it for others.
Thank you for visiting our place, have a nice time and thank you for your review so we can make it better. see you next time

Verified reviewLocated between the beach and the main street (where there are many restaurant options). A family-run inn with very kind hosts. Beautiful, serene garden. Free water refill for your flask. The host can arrange for transport and activities. The prices he quotes are better than most rates elsewhere, we appreciate his help especially in arranging transport to/from the airport.
I wasn't sure whether guests were allowed to use the fridge in the outdoor kitchen, I would have liked to stock up on cold drinks. It didn't bother me much as there are many cafes and shops nearby.

Verified reviewPerfect little guest house with nicely maintained grounds, cute fish pond and great size room. The bed was very comfy and especially for the price it was great to see the double mattress instead of two single pushed together. The air con worked fine, shower had hot water and little seating area in front was very welcome. Bathroom was outdoors adding to charm. Breakfast simple but tasty and well cooked. Buti, the host, organised a diving trip for us and altough I was a bit worried by not doing it via diving school, I can't say enough how amazing the diving instructor was, very patient, explained everything, made sure we are comfortable with what we are doing etc, amazing experience! And Dewi, the beautiful young girl working in guest house was one of the nicest people we have ever met, we wish you Dewi safe travels and all the best for future! Furthermore, some great warungs within 5 min walk for dinner, and spa next door is great, we had everything from massages to manicures and all very well executed.
Everything was great!
