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 reviewThe only thing I regret is not coming here earlier! It doesn’t get any better than this… beautiful surroundings, well-maintained dorm room and staff that will do anything for you. 10/10 would come again

Verified reviewIt was clean and comfortable. The owner is really nice and has a very cute cat. Everything was great. Although its a little far from centre but you can always rent a bike or take grab. Wasn’t really much of a problem. Would highly recommend staying here

Verified reviewEverything was perfect at Sleepy Racoon where we stayed for seven nights. Firstly, the owner and the rest of the staff are very welcoming. They help you to settle all the needs you might have. The hotel offers many services such as a laundry for your clothes, transportation for the different surrounding attractions or the rental of scooters. Furthermore, the hotel allows you to use a shared kitchen with free coffee and tea in which you'll also be able to refill your water bottles. Secondly, the comfort and cleanliness of the room. It's probably the quieter room we've had in Indonesia, far enough from the road and the mosques. The tap was pouring hot water and the AC worked well. Thirdly, you might question yourselves about the location. Indeed, the hotel is a bit far from the main attractions of the city. It's true but it allows you to have calm nights and you can get to the city center in just a few minutes of scooter or taxi.

Verified reviewVery cheap private room for what you get! Clean, hot water, free water dispenser, friendly staff.
Gap in door allowed mosquitos in the room and there was no net. However the receptionist kindly sprayed our room with bug spray which seemed to fix the problem whilst we were there.

Verified reviewCozy hostel, I booked both a dorm bed then a private room, both were very comfy. Muk is a great owner who’s always trying to be as helpful as possible. If you wanna visit anything around Jogja (or Java in general) he’ll help you out and make a plan for you if you need it. He booked me a train for the airport because the official app doesn’t work with a foreign card, for example.
The location is a bit far from the center, but grabs and Gojeks are so cheap that it didn’t matter that much. There wasn’t much space between the rows of beds in the dorm, so having to get the things out of the locker space was a bit tedious. Still not much of an issue.

Verified reviewThe vibe of this place is really nice. The owner Mok is very welcoming and feels like he genuinely wants to meet and make friends with people. I felt like we did become friends during our stay. Unfortunately my partner had some health issues while we stayed here but Mok was extremely helpful with finding a hospital and everything. He was also very knowledgeable about Yogumya in general and always had a recommendation for something to see or a place to eat. The good thing about this is it creates a social atmosphere in the guests too and I found that everyone there is very open and friendly. I'd say we made a couple of long lasting friends. We also loved hanging out with the friendly cats on the property. We would absolutely stay again!
I would say the beds aren't the comfiest and the pillows are a bit lumpy. We also got woken up by a rooster most days but to be fair that's just the indonesian experience I think!

Verified reviewPerfect hostel! We loved our time there, we didn't wanted to leave. The rooms are big and clean, many places to hangout, on the property, a complete kitchen and free coffee, we were in paradise. What a great place! Mukhtar, the owner, is there to help with anything, always smiling and in a good mood, you can feel his love for his place.

Verified reviewThe owner is so friendly and kind. If you need anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask him - definitely the kindest and most friendly bapak kos I've ever had! Also the room had AC which I didn't expect but was pleasantly surprised by!
A little bit out of the city, but that's not really a problem, and it means prices are a bit cheaper.

Verified reviewCosy hostel that feels like a home away from home, with lovely and helpful staff. Strongly recommend talking to them for tips on sightseeing, places to eat, etc.
The property is a bit far away from some of the key attractions in Yogyakarta. You will likely need to take a scooter or taxi/Grab to get to centre of the city, unless you’re keen to walk a reasonably long distance.
