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 reviewModern room, comfortable bed and pillows! It was near everything! You cannot hear noise from the outside which is great! Owner and staff are super helpful. Free coffee and water :)
Shower got clogged and the whole bathroom got flooded, but owner came after 3 min. and fixed it. It can’t beat the price.

Verified reviewSo was initially bit disappointed when we arrived as it's not 8.2 rating it's probably more like 7.2 but there are a number of things to consider. It was safe and clean, bed and bathroom was really good and the location is great as it's only short walk to Sanur beachfront. Pool although small was also very good and clean. I didn't realise how expensive Sanur beachfront is and this makes this place good value as you pay triple for beachfront properties and although you get more for your money this place is only short stroll to beachfront at 1/3 price. Lilly is effectively cook, cleaner and maintenance manager was very friendly and helpful. They have well priced refreshments and was lovely sitting by the pool with a cold bintang each day.
It was hard to find but basically right behind Jimmy's sports bar (bogan hangout to be honest) The place missed some basics, no TV if you need one, was no soap for basin, our towel rail was broken, fridge was good but noisy so switched off at night. Brekky was very basic and the place was bit noisy especially over weekends with bike noise flowing into the rooms. Due to layout of rooms there's not much privacy sitting in front of room but good way to say "Pagi" to other guests. There are two rooms upstairs which are more private.

Noisy - behind a bar and near the Main Street of Sanur. It was also very noisy when people returned to their rooms at 01:00am. Nice property, but located down an alley, behind a small abandoned restaurant. Very hard to find as only a small sign on top, in amongst the branches of a tree.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed the property location. It was right in the heart of Sanur. We were able to access local shopping and local coffee, venue, and restaurants within steps outside of our door. We also loved the fact that we could enjoy our meals in our room or on our patio during our stay if we chose to order on site from the restaurant itself at turtle shelter, which the food was amazing!
There was absolutely nothing. We did not like about the property.

Be careful leaving the bathroom as the tiles are very slippery with wet feet

It was not like the pictures. The room could use a fresh update but the worst part was the yellow stains and dirty sheets, there were bugs in the bed also. I did not feel safe at all there, so after 1 hout I decided to leave and find something else even if it was evening already. I asked for my money back but they did not react. Safety and hygiëne are very important if you rent a room
Dear Kay, firsy thing first we are very sorry for your uncomfortable, but when you were asked why you did an early check out, you seemed confused and our staff were also confused because you did not give a definite answer to our staff in the field. If you feel that there is something unpleasant in our guest house, you should be able to ask for a refund directly and we will help you to refund the money, but you left straight away. Please contact our whatsapp to continue this further and we will assist you to refund 🙏🏻. Warm regards Admin
