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 reviewLovely BnB with nice bar, pool.and staff.
The first night we did not get the room we booked. The alternative they gave us was substandard. Honestly, I think room no. 4 is to be avoided (the one with Disneyfigures above the bed). No real daylight and rundown bathroom. Aircon not working as it should. Room no. 3 however, the one we booked, is absolutely lovely with a private terrace near the pool. And that made up for the first night.
Hello, Dear Johannes. Thank you for your review here! We are very sorry to hear about your experience. It was clearly our mistake. We would love to provide you a more wonderful experince at Sammy Home for your next visit!

Verified reviewWe had a late arrival, past ten pm and had not yet had dinner. When we asked the lone staff where we could go find food that late, everything looking seemingly closed for the night, he said “here”! And went on to prepare a delicious multiple course dinner at that late an hour of the night. Unbelievable! The rest of the staff was equally attentive and helpful with finding drivers, etc for the day’s activities. Highly recommend this hotel if you like nice cosy home feel atmosphere.

Verified reviewThe garden was nice. Breakfast was good although food was cold most of the time (also eggs or pancakes).
Our room seemed dingy and very dark, as there was only one window leading to the balcony's stairwell. The promised balcony was only accessible via an external staircase and surrounded by bars. The worst part, however, was that the room smelled strongly of bleach. Furthermore, the room wasn't particularly clean; there were several cobwebs and numerous insect cocoons in the bathroom. The staff spends the entire day at the bar, blocking most of the few tables available for guests. The Wi-Fi was slow.
Dear Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely regret to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we apologize for the discomfort you encountered during your stay. We are very sorry about the room conditions you described, including the lighting, the balcony access, and especially the cleanliness concerns. Cleanliness and comfort are top priorities for us, and it’s clear we fell short in this instance. Please rest assured that we are addressing these issues with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to prevent this from happening again. Best Regards, Sammy Home.

Verified reviewStaff were exceptional. Such a lovely family who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and make sure I was having a nice stay. They were very accommodating about opening/ locking up for when I was arriving back late or leaving early morning!
Pools in a shaded area. No sun loungers by the pool to put your towels or belongings on if you wanted to use it. They’d have to go on the ground

Verified reviewLocation was perfect. Pool was perfect. Most of the staff was very friendly
There was very audible loud music and noise every night (except our last night) until late at night. Sleeping with earplugs was a must. Our host was noticably drinking (and drunk) at 08:00 AM. The showerhandles were chalked in place, making it rather difficult to operate. The blanket on the bed was sheetless and stained. Om request we received a new blanket (with elastic band) which also contained some washed stains. Our room initially wasn't cleaned when we hung the 'please service my room' sign on the door and were out for the whole day. The next day we were woken at 06:20 AM by the cleaners with the request to clean our room at that time. The airconditioner in the room was aimed right at the bed, creating a dry air current. The room was advertised with a terrace, but it was used for construction purposes.
Dear Edo, Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, we couldn’t clean your room as the key wasn’t left with any of our staff during the day. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you. Warm regards, Sammy Home

Verified reviewThis was our first stop after arriving in Indonesia, and we received a very warm welcome from everyone. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bar area is a great spot to relax with a cold beer after a day of exploring, and a dip in the pool was much appreciated! The staff were very helpful, and the location is convenient for exploring the city. It's also not far from the station—about a 15-minute Grab ride away.
Dear Anastasia, Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us as your first stop in Indonesia. We’re truly delighted to hear that you felt warmly welcomed and enjoyed your time here from the comfort of your room and the relaxing bar area, to the refreshing pool and our helpful team.

Verified reviewThe staff is friendly and helpful; the location is strategically advantageous, being near the city center.
We reserved three rooms for two night, but we were disappointed to find that two of them did not match our booking. A king room was downgraded to a queen, and a queen room was downgraded to a standard room. Furthermore, the rooms had an unpleasant odor and were not clean.

Verified reviewMy husband and I stayed here after traveling thru Southeast Asia for the past 7 months. It was probably the greatest place we’ve stayed at on our entire trip. They were the kindest most hardworking people and it became hard for us to leave. We rented scooters from them multiple times and stayed for 8 days.Breakfast was great as well! and the people we met at the bar made it hard for us to ever go anywhere else hah. Overall I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying there stay here. We will miss them very much 🫰
Having you both here was truly special. Watching you embrace every moment, from morning breakfasts to scooter adventures, and seeing you connect with others so naturally, brought a warmth to our space that we’ll remember for a long time. Your kindness, openness, and appreciation touched us deeply, making it hard to say goodbye. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey. You’ll always have a place here, and we hope to see you again someday. Safe travels, and know that you’ll be missed dearly. 🤗🤗
