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 reviewWe absolutely enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and has everything we need. There’s a water foundation inside the room, which conveniently solved the drinking water concern. The villa was beautifully embraced by plants and has a hidden stream. The pool was also regularly cleaned. We weren’t affected by the construction noise at all. The customer service was truly exceptional. We were welcomed by a big bowl of fresh fruits and two cute cats in the villa. All staff we encountered were genuinely kind and helpful. We accidentally left our valuable property in the safe box, Putu and Nicole were super responsive and generously helped us ship our stuff through international shipping back to Australia. We can’t thank them enough for their active problem solving and hospitality.
Nothing at all.
Dear Liu, We are very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and we were happy to help with the forgotten wallets incident. Most important is that we have happy guests and we truly hope to welcoming you again. Nicole & The Umakayu team

Verified reviewI recently stayed at Umakayu with my family and it was an amazing experience. Giorgio and his staff are extremely welcoming and had plenty of great recommendations (restaurants, Pilates, yoga, day trips) to share. It is possible to walk to the beach and access many restaurants and amenities by foot. Umakayu is a calm oasis in the heart of buzzing Canggu. The rooms are spacious and the swimming pool beautiful! We look forward to coming back!
Dear Thomas, it was a pleasure hosing you and your family at Umakayu and we are very pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay. We surely also look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

Verified reviewI can't even begin to tell you how AMAZING our stay was. Let me start by saying that we WILL come back next year during our holidays. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the hotel's Manager (Putu) who is SUPER friendly. He looked after our every need during our stay. The experience is super tailored for each customer. He gave us a very detailed guide of places to go to, where to eat, entertainment, etc. They provide you with everything you need (I'm not just saying it, it is true!) The facilities are TOP NOTCH. The shared kitchen (in case you feel like cooking) has everything you need, and it's open 24/7. It is also at good distance from the rooms so you don't need to worry about being disturbed if anybody decides to make a midnight snack. The whole place is surrounded by plants and it instantly makes you feel like you're staying in a very fancy forest (with a pool in the middle!). The pool is nice as well. Good size for the amount of bedrooms the hotel has Now, the bedrooms are out of this world! They're joglos and you would stay in a whole unit (with terrace). The bed was BIG and super comfortable. There's a cabinet full of cutlery, some spices, lots of glasses and cups, mosquito repellent (free of charge), etc. They also made sure to put a mosquito incense out of the door to shoo them away. The bed is also surrounded by a very silky mosquito net that gives it a fancy look. The bathroom was nice, spacious and very clean! They clean the units TWICE a day, and you can choose either day time or afternoon time for your cleaning. On our last day, our check out time was supposed to be 12pm, and unfortunately our pick up to the airport would only show up at 8pm so we had nowhere to spend 8 hours with 4 suitcases. This is where you see how GOOD they are. Putu was so kind to allow us to stay in the room until 8pm! How amazing is that! We stayed in 4 hotels during our entire Bali stay, and this is the BEST one so far.
The only thing I'd recommend looking into, is perhaps putting a bigger sign outside of the hotel with big letters that says "GIORGIO AT UMAKAYU'S" so that everyone can find this gem in Canguu.
Dear Jan, I cannot find the right words to reply on your review, this is so kind of you and we do look forward to welcome you back next year. Thanks for the recommandation to be more visible from the street, we will amend this. Thanks again for expressing your satisfaction, the whole team is very touched. Wishing you all the best…Giorgio.

Verified reviewThis place is perfect in every way and if you have managed to stumble on their property amidst the sea of available accommodations in Bali, don't hesitate, book it! I don't know they managed to create such a tranquil oasis right on the main street of Canggu but I felt every stressor leave my body when I settled in here. There are so many little touches that make this place amazing, its like they anticipate your needs before you do - like how they turn down your room at night, prepare the bed, light some candles, get the temperature just right or the fresh coconut in the fridge, natural mosquito repellant, the adaptor for your room so you don't have to worry about your chargers matching or how each bungalow has its own private wifi. I felt capable of traversing the gruelling hot & chaotic Canggu streets, always knowing I had this place to return to. An evening or an early morning dip in the pool, the sounds of birds in the garden, the gentle stream and temple outside my window, the healthy eatery across the street that is open 24 hours a day, the absolutely lovely and gracious staff. You will feel very well taken care of here.
Nothing!! I loved everything about this place and will return if I ever get the chance to return to Bali.
Dear Alison, With some delay, we would like to thank you for the lovey review you left for our property.

Verified reviewThis is a quiet and very lush gem off the busy road, very close to restaurants and cafes. The bungalow we had was very big with two bathrooms and an equipped kitchen, and big balcony! A shared kitchen by the pool is also available. The staff were really friendly and came by our room twice a day. We loved the warm welcome (with fresh coconuts and fruit!) We had an amazing stay, thank you!
Dear Daniel, Thank you for your perfect rating and positive feedback.
