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 Dukuh Retreat is tucked away in a quiet hamlet, on the banks of a river, surrounded by rice fields and a few minutes’ drive from a black sand beach. The bungalows are charming, with balconies front and back; very spacious inside; and comfortable, especially the king sized bed. The en-suite bath had good water pressure and the shower was hot 24/7. A/c and wifi worked well. The accommodation is set in delightful gardens, beautifully planted, with soothing water features and a well-maintained pool. Filtered water is freely available, with several water stations around the property. Meals are generously proportioned, and the home cooking is excellent. Wayan and Nyoman, the hosts, welcomed us warmly, as family. The Dukuh calls itself a ‘Retreat’, and it most certainly is. In addition to the B&B, the also offer a range of wellbeing packages that include different activities. We chose a package with a daily massage, yoga and sound healing, and various short excursions. Of these, we selected a Water Purification ritual, which was powerful. After only 3 nights, we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. I recommend The Dukuh Retreat highly.
There is nothing not to like. Everything was totally perfect.
Dear Deborah, Thank you for choosing us at THE DUKUH RETREAT as one of your accommodations during your vacation in Bali and for experiencing our service. Our entire team and I are delighted to receive your appreciation, describing The Dukuh as an accommodation that serves you with compassion. Your attention and appreciation mean a lot to us, as our goal is to empower Balinese women to maintain and preserve Bali's noble customs and culture, benefiting from the blessings of Balinese tourism. We are happy that you felt at home during your stay and are grateful for your attention to every detail, from the garden to the water purification ritual, providing you with comfort and peace. It was a joy to share this moment with you and Ian, and we felt like family. The Dukuh Retreat and Team hope Bali will continue to bring you peace and inspiration in the future and we would be delighted to welcome you back whenever your heart desires. With gratitude and warm regards, Wayan, Nyoman & the Dukuh Family

Verified reviewGreat hospitality, the host and staff are very friendly and heart-warming. Love the breakfast by the porch & surrounded by a lovely plantation. The bed is very comfortable! When we first arrived at Bali, we had booked a terrible hotel, and the Dukuh nicely helped us change the dates and offered a lot of help.

Verified reviewWonderful place in a quiet and peaceful place, you will be close to nature, hearing and seeing beautiful birds. The massage was something else as the hut was outside and you could hear the nature sounds while getting a great massage. The food was very yummy. And the hosts were incredibly helpful with everything!

Verified reviewDear Dukuh Retreat, thank you for letting me stay with you. I would definitely recommend you to people who want to escape everyday life and have a lot of peace. It's located outside and around are local people and their houses and not much tourism. You have to like that. I only stayed for a few days, but took a lot with me, like the yoga classes and Bali massages, which are really recommendable, and a traditional water cleansing. It was amazing to experience. You can also order food and they deliver it to your cute little house. The hosts are really welcoming and helpful. It feels like a little home. Warm regards, Jasmin
Dear Jasmin, Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly happy to hear that your stay brought you peace and meaningful experiences—from yoga and massage to the water Purification ritual.

Verified reviewThe location was ideal for our requirements. The owners Mr Wayon and his lovely wife were incredibly learned in all the aspects that we were interested in, and was only too keen to journey with us in support of our primary reason for visiting Bali. They have made all the preparation requirements for our pilgrimage to the various sites. It was home away from home
If only we could have stayed longer.

Dear Johnny Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We apologize for the inconvenience you encountered with the water pipe upon check-in. Rest assured, we have addressed the issue to prevent it from happening in the future.
