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 is our second stay . We love the location and the staff are really friendly and helpful . Large rooms and comfortable beds. good wardrobe space also . A complimentary breakfast was offered which was generous
A few nights were really noisy with traffic and dogs. It’s a shame that the cafe was closed and the lobby space had lost its vibe a little - we loved being able to sit out the front and have a morning coffee and watch the world go by.

Verified reviewfantastic room, bed was comfortable and exceeded expectations there
I booked here as it is advertised as having a bar and a bit of a social vibe where, as traveling alone, I could meet people but the bar was only open for breakfast and this was not commutated beforehand. Real shame that there is no pool and that it felt very flat - absolutely no social scene which was the whole reason I booked. Also noisy - not that this could be helped due to location but I felt I needed to get away as it was a little intense at night.

Verified reviewThe design of the room, it was so spacious. Location was perfect. They offered daily complimentary breakfast. Staff were very attentive & fast.
Its very noisy, we can hear everything outside and we can hear our neighbors upstairs or anyone passing outside. I just wish there was sound proof.

Verified reviewWe loved the location, the friendliness of the staff, the decor and architecture of the hotel. It was kept very clean and any requests for water or ice were always promptly met. Someone was always available to assist. The rooms are lovely and spacious, giving a relaxed feel.
The on-site restaurant and bar had closed and no room service was available. For those checking in late at night, this could be a problem. A few minor things like no extra pillows in the room or ironing board. Minor but for the price, should be in the room. Also note that the pools in the pool suite are not heated and are not in the sun, so can be on the colder side.

Verified reviewI really loved my stay at The Slow. The room was beautiful l spacious, well designed, and they were super generous with what they provided. It definitely has a great aesthetic and vibe.
The only major downside was the noise. The windows have almost no sound insulation, so I could hear everything; traffic, people talking, even the reception phone ringing. Unfortunately, it made it really hard to stay asleep at night, which took away from an otherwise amazing stay.
Hello Alma, Thanks so much for the kind words — we're really glad you loved the space, design, and overall vibe of The Slow. We put a lot of care into creating that experience, so it's always nice to hear when it lands well. That said, we’re really sorry to hear the noise impacted your stay. We know how important a good night’s sleep is, and your feedback’s super valuable as we keep working on making things better. We’ll definitely pass this along to the team to look into soundproofing improvements. Hope we get to welcome you back soon — and thanks again for staying with us

Verified reviewThe slow is in the perfect location right in the middle of Canggu! Being so central there is obviously a little bit of outside noise but I found it not at all disruptive. I also love the design of the property is superb with an industrial/vintage/tropical style - I would love my home to look like this! The pool suites really do feel like a private oasis and the complimentary espresso martini kit was a great touch. Staff were also lovely, friendly and helpful. I would have loved to have spent much longer here than my short stay allowed.
I visited this property prior to Covid pandemic and at the time the bar/restaurant was owned/managed by the hotel. At the time it had a great atmosphere that complimented the accommodation and had great food and drinks. And was probably of a higher standard than alot of the surrounding food & beverage options. . Post pandemic the restaurant is now managed seperately to the hotel and it does not seem to have the same atmosphere and offerings as before which is noticeable given the venues in the surrounding area are very busy and buzzing and have become a much higher standard.
Hello Again Luke, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review — we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, especially the design, location, and those little touches like the espresso martini kit (a house favorite!). Appreciate your honest feedback about the restaurant too. Since the management shift post-Covid, we’ve definitely noticed the change in energy, and we’re keeping a close eye on how it evolves. It’s really helpful to hear your perspective as someone who’s experienced both versions — and we’ll be sharing your comments with the wider team.
