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 reviewVery friendly staff, superb breakfast and service and very nice rooms. Everything clean. Beautiful outdoor area.
A/C is facing the heads while sleeping and a slight damp smell. But after a while in the room the smell goes away. Not really room to place a bag/suitcase.
Hello Luca, Thank you for your review, we appreciate it. We are sorry for the damp smell. We will let it checked and fixed it where is necessary. Regarding the AC, you could control the wind blow with the provided remote control. Have a wonderfull day. Always good vibes, SP team

Verified reviewI loved the room setup and bathroom, the charming courtyard, and the location. It was less than a 1/2 hour walk to the Kraton. Vredeburg Fort Museum, and Malioboro Street. The breakfast was decent, and they made breakfast to go if you were out early on a tour. Check in and out was a breeze.

Verified reviewI’ve really enjoyed staying at this pretty accommodation, runned by a very kind family. Good communication via Whatsapp, the breakfast is great and although the room is basic - it is equiped with the things you need for a short stay in Yogyakarta.
I was by myself and the Grab/Bluebird app kept leading the driver to a different alley than the alley where Sastro Place is based. At night, this means you’ll have to walk through a few dark alleys to get to Sastro Place. However, I’ve never had any issues and people in the neightbourhood were actually really helpful with helping me find Sastro Place 🙏
Hello Lisanne, Thank you for your lovely review we really appreciate it. Nice to hear you have enjoyed your stay. We have realised that the grab or online taxi navigation system always leads to the incorrect alley, if you use our address. That is the reason why we always send a link with another address to our guests before the have arrived for the first time to our accomodation. It could be that you have missed the link ☺️🙏 Have a good, joyfull day. Always good vibes, SP team

Verified reviewGood location with the city centre (palace/ shopping mall) in walking distance (30min). The staff is very friendly with good contact via WhatsApp. Nice breakfast with fixed options in a changing menu. Very good value for the price!
The curtains do not cover all the windows, so lights in front of the room are not blocked (I slept with a mask, so it was fine, but it would be useful to be able to switch off the lights when you go to bed or have curtains covering the small windows). There is only one kind of soap provided in the shower, no shampoo.
Hello Sarah, Thank you for your review. We really appreciate it. We are sorry you didn’t see the switch off/on button in the terrace for the terrace light. And regarding the soap, it is head to toe soap. So, you can use it also for hair. We are sorry we didn’t informed you that. We will put a tag on the container. Have a good day. Always good vibes, SP team

Verified reviewVery nice hotel within walking distance from Yogyakarta centre in a safe calm area. It is spacious, clean, the interior decoration has been done with a lot of love, the pool has the perfect temperature and the breakfast was awesome. It was very easy to communicate with the staff, they were very kind and helpful. We had an awesome time, the hotel exceeded our expectations, it is definitely worth its price. We would recommend it to anyone.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at Sastro Place! The staff was super friendly, the room was lovely, everything was decorated amazingly giving a very instagramable vibe! The included breakfast in the morning is a nice touch.
It's a long/awkward walk down a tiny alleyway to reach the place, not the easiest with heavy suitcases. They only gave us a small thin blanket for the bed so I woke up feeling very cold (can't turn the AC off otherwise I get eaten alive by mosquitoes and it also gets too humid, we tried!). I did request an extra blanket and they provided one which helped. Not much room to put the suitcases so it made the room feel quite small.
Hello Lucy Thank you for your review. We are sorry that our place hasn’t met your expectation completly. As it is also mentioned on the pictures of booking com and since our location is also in the middel of the city centre, yes our homestay is located in a small alley where the car can’t stop in front of the accomodation. Regarding the temperature, the aircondotioning has a remote controle which you can put the temperature lower or hihger as you wish. Have a good day. Always good vibes, SP team

Verified reviewThe staff is so nice ! We forgot part of our luggage and the staff was able to make a shipping arrangement for us and got our things mailed to another hotel further on our trip! Amazing ! The laundry service is also very nice to have at your doorstep.
Not much at all. We only suggested to maybe add an Indonesian course on the breakfast menu. But the pancakes are nice too.
Hello Kilian, Thank you so much for your fabulous review, we really appreciate it. Reagarding the Indonesian breakfast, thank you for your input.

Verified reviewThe homestay was really unique. The rooms were really clean. The pool in the front was a refreshing way to cool down during the day. The property was a short grab from many central locations. The staff were amazing! They really went above and beyond at every step. Their communication was great throughout. They even offered to pack us a breakfast to go on mornings we had early starts with tours etc,.

Verified reviewExtremly friendly staff and in a quiet small street, so quiet at night. Very good breakfast and good to relax after a walk through the busy city in the small pool. Street might look dodgey at night but is not. Not directly in the city center but easy to go with a grab. Would highly recommend!
Hello Marius, Thank you so much for your gorgeous review, it means a lot to us. Keep happy, healthy and a lot of joy. Warm regards, Sastro Place team

Verified reviewWhat a lovely place! Beautiful little pool in a gorgeous garden, clean, with everything you need, good service, and a nice takeaway breakfast for when you head out. The only downside is the mosque that wakes you up around 4:45 AM despite using wax earplugs — it lasts about 10 minutes, but that’s common everywhere in Yogyakarta. The location is 12 minutes from Malioboro by Grab, in a cozy side street. The cameras and gate also make you feel safe.
