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 reviewAbsolutely loved my stay at ViaVia Guesthouse in Yogyakarta! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming — they really made me feel at home. Everything was super clean, and the pool and backyard are absolutely beautiful, perfect for relaxing. On top the room had a back door straight to the pool and garden. The atmosphere was so peaceful and charming, and I loved that they offer food and drinks right on site. Would definitely come back!
Would have been great to have AC but the room did have a fan

Verified reviewPerfect little oasis in Yogyakarta. The room was clean and very comfy. The bathroom was a bit outdated, but clean. The highlight is the cozy garden with pool and the lovely and helpful staff. He guesthouse itself is located in a quiet side street, but everything is in walking distance. They also helped us organizing a scooter rental and yoga classes.

Verified reviewAmazing hostel with the best staff I could have wished for. I started with 3 nights and ended up staying 12 nights. First in a private room, later on in the dorm. When I arrived, I had an infection in my leg and the staff were driving with me directly to the clinic and supporting me with the medical system in Indonesia. Later on I had to go for surgery to the hospital and they never let me alone and were taking care of me all the time. Besides this special treatment, the hostel had a super nice common area (nicer than in the pictures!) with some chilled sitting/laying possibilities, my favourite place was the hammock in the shadow. In the common area you will (not always, but in the morning and afternoon) find other travellers (families, couples, as well as solo travellers). For those, who want to do Yoga: yoga mats are available. The showers have immediately hot water and a really strong water pressure. (One disadvantage: no mobile shower head) The beds are comfortable, mattress is rather hard than soft (one of the reasons we were staying here, as my friend couldn’t sleep on the super soft bed in our first accommodation, where you can feel the frame and the springs). Towels are provided in all room types, so also in the dorm. And can be changed on request or they change it, if you stay longer. The breakfast is amazing: every day it is changing, so you don’t get bored. If you request the day before, you can also get Indonesian breakfast. This is what I did, so I ate yellow rice or soup or rice porridge for breakfast. The breakfast always consists out of the main plate + coffee or tea + fruit juice or fruit platter. Water to refill your bottles is available for a little fee. The reception supports you in all belongings, and as they are partners with the Viavia travel agency, you can easily book tours or workshops at the front desk.

Verified reviewThis guesthouse match with my expectations. Room very clean, comfort, but need improvement for the air conditioner because didn't work properly or not too cold. This guesthouse also had various menu for breakfast and they change the menu everyday with delicious taste, for me, the menu here is fried rice. They had backyard with swimming pool. Overall good and very recommended place if you need guesthouse for backpacking with friends or family. This location very strategic nearby with some of famous cafe or restaurant like Tempo Gelato, ViaVia Bakery, etc and you can walk to go there.
The air conditioner in my room didn't work properly, not too cold. You should close the toilet door properly and waiting for too long until you feel cold, need improvement for the air conditioner in the room.

Verified reviewWe extended our stay twice ! Very good hotel offering everything you need : we rented a scooter, laundry service was excellent, we did a cooking class with Lala, the backyard is green and chill. The street is very quiet so you can have a good sleep. The hotel is close to nice stores, restaurants, warungs and markets. They also have a restaurant and the selection of vegetarian options is great. In general the food is healthy and delicious. We enjoyed bread in their bakery. The staff is friendly, smiling and helpful. It’s a safe, chill and easy-going place. In general we felt in love with Jogja ! Highly recommended to stay in this city few days!
