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 authenticity of a real indonesian homestay. A lovely family and a good place where to breath and take rest. Good brekfast in a right size.
Unfortunately, the road was not easily passable, so we had to walk. But this will not be a problem in the future, because they were building a new road during our stay.

Verified reviewVery clean. The only downside was the toilet getting flooded everytime you would take a shower but that’s a minor problem. Spacious dormitory room. Good solution if you have to stay in LB for few nights.
Not so central and the road to reach it is not so well paved but still reachable via scooter.

Verified reviewFor the price the place is great- basic amenities and a comfy bed with working bathroom. Breakfast was also really nice. The family who own the place are super friendly and helpful, and the family dogs are also so cute and friendly! Location but further from town (8 mins on moped) but is quiet and calm!
Like others have mentioned, road up to the homestay is very rough terrain. I managed it on a moped with my partner on the back, but it’s not the easiest!

Verified reviewI stayed in the dorms and was positively surprised - the shower is HOT & with good water pressure, there are soap, shampoo & towels provided and if that wasn’t enough the AC in the dormitory works super well. The lady running the hostel is super nice too and let me use the fridge for my fruit. Leaving my luggage at the homestay for the duration of the tour was also not an issue!
The only downside is the lack of curtains for privacy in the dorms but it’s not a party hostel therefore people are very considerate of light etc

Verified reviewMade made us very welcome, actually her whole family is lovely. We arrived off the ferry from Sape very early in the morning, and Made went out of her way to get our room ready so we could get in early. We were very happy with the room. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Made's homestay, and will certainly be back.
Bit of a rumpty road going up to where the concrete drive starts. But very worth it.

Verified reviewThe staff at Tarzan were fantastic, so friendly and went above and beyond to help us. We had breakfast early one day and they even gave us double breakfast after we didn’t have it one day. The breakfast was very tasty but a little small. The rooms were a little small but did the job. We stayed on two occasions and had hot water in the shower in one room but not the other. The beds were nice and comfy

Verified reviewI had a great stay at this wonderful location with an absolutely amazing view! The terrace was especially lovely — perfect for relaxing and taking in the surroundings. The room was clean and comfortable. A special thanks to the owners, Tarsan and Kadek, who were very welcoming and helped in every way possible. Their hospitality made the experience even better. Also, the location is super convenient — just about a 15-minute walk from the airport
The road from the airport is sloping and not fully paved, which can be tricky if you’re carrying large or heavy luggage. In that case, it’s better to take a taxi. That said, the owner mentioned that the municipality is planning to fix the road soon, which will definitely improve access
