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 property was very close to many restaurant, stores, and the beach. It was well maintained and had a small but comfortable patio.
It was a little small, which made it really difficult/impossible to sit on some of the chairs inside.

Verified reviewComfiest bed, almost blackout room with little to no outside noise. Slept like a baby! Resident kitty Gili is the sweetest and very much looked after by the owners, who were so lovely and attentive. Resto and bar across the road (Captain Coconuts) was awesome for breakfast and happy hour Cocktails, and allow you to use their pool FOC!

Verified reviewLocation is good, easily walkable from the beach in a quiet street. Rooms are basic but clean.
Bathroom is old, water is salty, like most of the places on the Gilis.

Verified reviewVery lovely staff willing to help you with anything. Perfectly working aircon. Albeit salty like on the rest of the island, but nice hot showers.
Towels were a bit on a thinner side and it probably wouldn't hurt to replace them eventually.

Verified reviewThe room was very nice and with remote controlled ac. The bathroom was spacious and there was a good mirror. Drinking water was provided from a tank outside to refill own bottles.
The water from the shower was salty so soap didn't come off easy and skin was sticky after shower. but that seems to be the case in all accommodations of the gilis. The knob and hose of the shower were rusty.

Verified reviewThis was such an amazing stay. The bed was super comfy and a hot shower was such a blessing after many cold ones in Indonesia. Having a kettle was awesome too! And jasmine was the kindest host ever. She helped my friend when he got injured and organized rides for us and was just overall and very kind, loving, generous, helpful and beautiful soul/person to spend some time with. OH YEAH! It's quiet too. No loud speaker noise like you get in the center of town which was a blessing after our first night staying close to center. Thanks for a great stay! We are so grateful to cross paths with you and get to be so comfy in gili air :)
Everything was amazing.

Verified reviewGreat location, very close to the beach and amazing sunsets. Walking distance to everything. You can hear the mosque at all hours but it is not too loud. Has hot water, a refrigerator, and a kettle. As you can see from the photos, it feels just like a Japanese love hotel. The owner Jasmine is extremely nice and she looked after us. She helped arrange our snorkeling tour (AMAZING!) and also recommend a doctor. She was always ready to help with anything. Great value for budget travel on Gili Air.
Ants were on the vanity often. Old and rusty shower & sink (from the salt water).

Verified reviewSuper clean and comfy and really close to the beach and beautiful sunset views, so it lives up to it’s name. I particularly appreciate having a mini fridge and kettle. Staff were lovely too! I also enjoyed eating at Captain Coconuts next door and getting a foot massage at the neighboring spa.
