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 reviewThis Homestay is so good if you like the quiet place, so close to the surf spot of Balian, room was cleaned every day, and I have the best breakfast in Bali
The bedroom was clean but the bed and the pillow was so old, it will be perfect if they changed it for a new one

Verified reviewWe loved it there. Great hosting family and good quiet location. Great breakfast.
No hot water. They accept only cash that we didn’t have and couldn’t get out of ATM nor the restaurant as it was weekend so we end up paying much more.

Verified reviewI wanted to stay in a place that had beautiful gardens and reminded me of my first bali trip many decades ago. It was perfect. Wonderful staff and the garden was lovely. Breakfast was fantastic.
The dog was a little cranky for the first few days but then tolerated me. May say more about me, than the dog. As noted in other reviews there is no hot water in shower, which I was well aware of. Didn't bother me at all though.

Verified reviewFamily run business, tasty breakfast, very nice and friendly owners
I booked this accommodation thanks to very good reviews on Booking. Unfortunately I can’t share positive feedback. 1. The pavement to the rooms was extremely slippery and me and my family slipped numerous times. I took my 70 years old mother on this holiday and I was worried about her safety. 2. I am sorry to say but the rooms were very dirty and I would describe a bathroom as just shocking. We are a family travelling on a budget. I can compromise on modest rooms but never on cleanliness and safety.
Thank you for your feed back. have great holiday

Verified reviewEach bungalow is surrounded by a tropical garden. Nice family. A great free breakfast with tropical fruit will be brought to your patio every morning at the requested time. The location is perfect, just between the surfing beach and the sunset beach with amazing cliffs. It is a pleasure to walk through this wonderful countryside village as well as miles along wild beaches or a well-paved tropical trail toward the mountains. There are several quiet restaurants in the village.
There was no hot water faucet at all. However, the water was naturally slightly warm, and it was enough for a comfortable shower in the hot environment. The mosquito net did not help one night out of 7, probably because of higher humidity that rainy day. It was very quiet except for the 3rd night when somebody partied all night across my son’s bungalow. These guests ignored his requests to make it quieter. Eventually, he yelled at them but it didn’t help. The next morning the owner came to me with a request to ask my son to be quiet at night. I didn’t know what was going on yet. I just told her that I did not hear my son but I heard these people. They were not even sorry. Then the owner told me that guy was their old client which made me feel even worse. There is no excuse for bothering other guests. The rest of the week was quiet but we moved to another hotel for the next week just to have a guarantee of a good night's sleep. About the village: The entrance to the main beach is trashed out, and no one seems to care to clean. It is cleaner if you get farther. There is no sidewalks or at least a shoulder on the road coming through the village, and the traffic is very heavy. It is stressful to get to the bank or a store, and even to the wonderful tropical trail in the mountains. The shortcut nature trail from the Tebing Balian to the next number of beaches is very slippery after rain.

Verified reviewQuiet bungalow room with lush garden, just a few hundred meters from a beautiful surf beach. Lovely little breakfast is brought to the door.
The simplicity is just what I like but some might be disappointed by lack of a/c and hot water.
