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 reviewWe stayed with our two kids (10 and 8 years old) in a small set of charming cabins run by Yuni and Harry and her lovely Balinese family, right in the middle of a coffee plantation and jungle, surrounded by avocado, papaya, and coconut trees. There are only four very clean cabins, each with a private bathroom and hot water (basic but enough). The food was delicious, prepared with love using fresh fruit and vegetables from their own garden. We all enjoyed the natural swimming pool and the cozy fire at night — a truly special and authentic experience for the whole family.

Verified reviewYuni and Dedut were the most wonderful hosts. They and their family have done an extraordinary job of transforming a hillside into an incredible garden and orchard complete with cabins and a restaurant with one of the best views we got to experience during our trip. Dedut's philosophy of growing the food they (expertly) serve in their restaurant and ensuring the food is grown in harmony with their surrounding is inspiring. The entire experience was very relaxing and a great place to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the more populated areas of Bali. Delicious food and home grown coffee (just bring your own milk). Couldn't say a bad word about our stay here.
Nothing.

Verified reviewIt's the perfect place if you want to disconnect for a few days: reading, walking in the jungle, and swimming in the river are the ideal activities! Here, there's no pollution, junk food, Wi-Fi, luxury, or background noise, just the peace and quiet of nature! We absolutely fell in love with the garden (worthy of a magnificent botanical garden), the family who runs the place, and the project in general, which has a wonderful philosophy! We took advantage of the activities offered by the family (massage with Yuni and cooking class with Harry) and it was fantastic! The A cabins are very simple but have the essentials: a bed, a shower, and natural freshness thanks to the mountain air—it's perfect! We won't hesitate to come back here in a few years to see how it's progressing 😍

Verified reviewI stayed here for 3 nights to do a 3 day fasting. And I could not have imagined a better place for this. Harry and Yuni create an experience for their guests, that is very unique. Everything built is handmade, with natural materials, in consideration of preserving the nature, which is very rare nowadays. They take time and care about the guests experience and really helped me to go through my challenge. This place is great to connect with nature. Very calm, far away from the big city and You can even drink water, directly from the source. Every cabin has its own fire place, which makes it super cozy. I came back just to eat all the food that I could not have during my fast and can say - It was worth it. The fruits and vegetables on the menu are all growing right there and Yuni is very skilled in making delicious meals out of it. Even the coffee is from their own land and you can see it grow, before drinking it. Plus I have also met a very interesting and inspiring stranger that I talked to for hours, who did a better job than my therapist. (This is not included in the stay unfortunately). All together an unforgettable experience. Now I am questioning why the hell I am living in Canggu.
Dear Andre, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience during your stay with us! We are thrilled to hear that our unique approach, crafted by Harry and Yuni, resonated with you and contributed positively to your fasting journey. It brings us immense joy to know that you appreciated our handmade accommodations designed with natural materials, as well as our commitment to preserving the beauty of nature around us. Your recognition of the tranquil environment we strive to create is truly gratifying. We are delighted that you enjoyed the meals prepared by Yuni using fresh produce from our land, her passion for cooking shines through in every dish! It’s also heartwarming to hear about the meaningful connections you made during your stay, we believe that shared experiences can be just as enriching as any professional guidance. Your feedback inspires us to continue providing unforgettable experiences for all our guests, and we hope you'll consider returning soon, not just for the food but also for another chance at connecting with nature and like-minded individuals. Thank you once again for your kind words! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Warm regards, Rara - Sanda Cabin Team

Verified reviewThere are a few quiet places left in Bali that remind you of just how reflective and restorative this island can be - Sanda Eco Cabins is one of those special places. I came up here solo for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my stay. The location is nestled up on a small mountain in the jungle. The whole property is one beautifully cultivated garden. The family that operates the space are all super kind and friendly but also seem to understand if you are there for some solitude. I read my face off - it was wonderful. The food at the restaurant is as good as they say in the reviews. Yuni and her family put a lot of time and care into the food they serve. It's also pretty flippin' cool that most of the produce comes from the land - I had an avocado tree right out of my room. I intentionally stayed away from my phone (which was great). I don't have any photos but they wouldn't do the place justice anyway. If you are looking for something quiet outside of Buleland, don't hesitate to book a cabin here. Another random note - I also had very lengthy and interesting conversations with another guest there. Two total strangers from different places on that planet ended up talking for hours about all sorts of personal things. Sanda Eco Cabins brings that sort of thing out of you.
Dear Parker, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at Sanda Eco Cabins! We are thrilled to hear that you found our little oasis in Bali to be a reflective and restorative retreat. It’s heartwarming to know that you enjoyed our tranquil setting nestled in the jungle.

Your mention of connecting with another guest is truly special; we believe these interactions enrich the experience at Sanda Eco Cabins, fostering a sense of community among travelers from all walks of life. Thank you once again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another rejuvenating stay in the future! Warm regards, Rara - Sanda Cabin Team

Verified reviewI came to Sanda from Lovina, crossing winding mountain roads in the rain. Despite reading many reviews before booking, and being inspired by one in particular to stay for three nights, I still felt a bit uncertain during the journey. But the moment I arrived, those worries faded. Here, I felt once again the purest form of human trust. Even without speaking the same language, deep connection was possible—through a gesture, a glance, a shared smile. The atmosphere is incredibly calming, and the food gave me real energy, not just physically but emotionally. To be honest, I find it hard to put this experience fully into words. Sanda feels different from anywhere else in Bali. This is not a place for passive tourism—it gently asks something of you too. If you're looking for a space to be still, to read, to think, to meditate, or to unplug from social media and constant feedback, this is a rare and beautiful choice. I spent three days here reading and reflecting, allowing my life to pause. My conversations with Harry gave me a deeper understanding of plants—their fruits, their rhythms, their stories. December is durian season, and I know I will return. Time spent here feels like a gift. I hope you give yourself one too.

Dear Peterson, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your heartfelt review of your stay at Sanda! We are thrilled to hear that your journey, despite its initial uncertainties, blossomed into such a meaningful experience upon your arrival. It warms our hearts to know that you felt a genuine connection here, transcending language through simple gestures and smiles. Our team strives to create an environment where guests can truly unwind and reconnect with themselves, so we’re delighted that you found our atmosphere calming and our food invigorating both physically and emotionally. We appreciate your recognition of Sanda as a space that invites active engagement rather than mere observation; it is indeed our goal to provide an enriching experience that encourages reflection and personal growth. We're glad you had the opportunity to engage in enlightening conversations with Harry about plants, his passion for nature is contagious! Your mention of returning in December for durian season excites us! We would be honored to welcome you back for another transformative stay.

From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by a warm and caring family atmosphere, as if I had always belonged there. Yuni, endlessly kind and attentive, is an exceptional cook. Each meal is lovingly prepared, using fresh ingredients, many of which come directly from their own garden. The flavors, the freshness, and the attention to detail in every dish reflect both skill and genuine passion. Spending these three nights with them was an absolute joy. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking an authentic experience off the beaten path. It's also the perfect base to explore nearby treasures such as Munduk, Jatiluwih, Menjangan Island, or Lovina.
