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 loved Villa Sabandari. Nice boutique hotel, in a very quite street, but very close to central Ubud. Very friendly staff, nice breakfast, afternoon tea. The swimming pool has a nice view onto a rice paddy field. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would recommend this hotel. Great value for money!
Thank you for your nice review!

Verified reviewThe staff is really great. Komamg, ayu, krisna, budi, made, kadat these are really good staff. And many have worked here for over 10 years. Guess vg boss. Belgium fella. Who also stay in the villa next door. Breakfast changes daily . We stayed a week and they are different daily except the starter which is a basket of bread, granola and fruits. Certainly healthy. Pool is very relaxing. Hardly any mosquito given it's proximity to nature and padi field.
The location while near to Ubud centre isn't very walkable at night... Guess the road condition are similar throughout ubud. But there is always kadat, budi, krisna on call for the free shuttle service to anywhere in ubud center. Any further you will have to gojek. It will take 7 min by shuttle and 15 nin to walk. The shower is outdoor nice when it's clear weather but when it rains...
Team Sabandari is thanking you for your nice words!

Verified reviewVery kind staff, super cosy rooms, loved the tea time and breakfast in the lodge. The hotel does not have a restaurant in it but it provides super room-service dinner. Position is amazing because it is outside of Ubud traffic and noise, you need to walk a little for the city center or take the bus (complementary and provided by villa sabandari)
It is overall very clean, however the bed curtains were dirty with dead insects and other stains. Sheets and towels instead were clean.
Thank you for your review. We will look into your remark regarding the curtains.

Verified reviewThe place is amazing, maybe the best value for money place in Ubud. The pictures don’t do justice for the place, it is better. Location in the city is great (15 minutes from Ubud Palace and you find everything on the way) the location itself is amazing (jungle vibe in the city) and also the facilities (pool, cab etc.). The staff is also very friendly, always there to help but never bothers you if you do not need it. And the breakfast…delicious. We booked one of the rooms at the first floor and it was worth it!
That we did not book it for longer time.
Thank you Mr. Razvan! Team Sabandari hopes to be able to welcome you again in the future.

Verified reviewHad an absolutely wonderful stay at Villa Sabandari. The villa is located a little outside the centre of Ubud, so it is possible to walk in (or take the free shuttle) but the surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful. As soon as we came through the gates it felt like a mini oasis with the beautiful garden and we were greeted warmly. Our room was perfect, comfortable; we loved having breakfast on the terrace and afternoon tea by the pool (or wherever you want it), and showering in the fresh air under the sky. The welcome massage was great (we only got round to it on the second last day!) and the little library was a nice touch too though we didn't use it. All the staff were very helpful and attentive. There were other guests there but as there are only 6 rooms, it felt quiet. Just the sounds of birds and the breeze :) I could go on. Even better than the photos!
Nothing - I just wish I could have stayed longer - was sad to check out!!
Thank you Helen, we very much appreciate your effort to write this review. We are happy you have enjoyed your stay at Villa Sabandari and hope to be able to welcome you again in the future.

Verified reviewSuch a serene and calm place. The staff was outstanding and very attentive. The property is very central, yet so quiet. Great value for money. Would definitely stay there again!
A lot of ants. But I guess that’s Bali :)
After a rain shower ants often appear indeed. The staff will remove them on simple request. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us anyway.

Verified reviewIt was a beautiful hotel, such a beautiful setting, with a pool looking out onto rice fields, lots of beautiful trees and flowers. A huge, comfy bed with a mosquito net, outdoor bath and shower in the private back garden. Staff were lovely, we had a free massage as part of our deal, breakfasts were great, we were able to order food there for lunch/dinner as well. It was pretty empty, as it was rainy season, so we hardly knew there were any other guests, but there are only 6 rooms in the first place, so it's lovely and quiet and just removed enough from the centre of Ubud (though it is walkable.) They also offered a free shuttle service into Ubud, which we really apprecaited.
Thanks Louise, we are glad you had a nice stay.

Verified reviewThe staff provided an excellent pick-up /drop-off service to the city area whenever we needed it. This was both very handy and convenient. The rooms had a listing of recommended restaurants in Ubud, we tried several of their recommendations and found out the recommendations were accurate as both the meals and service were outstanding at all we tried. Breakfasts were complimentary and we really enjoyed the fresh variety of fruit and cooked breakfasts we had each day. My wife has already told me several times she wants to stay again at Villa Sambandari when we next go to Ubud.
All good
We are looking forward to your next stay at Villa Sabandari!

Verified reviewVilla Sabandari is simply superb in every way. The gardens, pool, outlook and rooms are all gorgeous in their design and upkeep. We particularly appreciated how thoughtfully things had been set up - placement of loungers for a perfect mix of shade/sun, the sarongs and umbrellas in each villa, the cleanliness, mosquito nets over the bed (though we didn't need it) healthy snacks from the kitchen, comfortable outdoor furniture on each villa's terrace. Staff lit a mosquito coil (artistically hidden) outside each villa every evening to ensure we were comfortable (we were!). The afternoon teas and breakfasts were amazing. The owner and staff are lovely people. That some staff have been there many years tells you it's a well-run and respectful workplace (which matters to us). Staff and owner were always available to help us with arrangements, directions, drop-offs and pick-ups. I got sick with "Bali belly" (from food eaten elsewhere) and they made it easy for us to stay on an extra few nights, and even delivered bowls of plain rice to help me recover. Finally - and this always matters to me - the bed was incredibly comfortable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for the nice words Karen, much appreciated!

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay. The quiet location was a little slice of paradise with a beautiful pool & rice fields adjoining the property. Only a short distance to walk to a few local restaurants & for anything further away a free shuttle was provided which was great. The rooms are clean and beautiful & spacious. The staff were also very friendly and their level of service was fantastic. We enjoyed breakfast on our balcony every morning, the menu varied each morning. We also enjoyed a spa treatment each which was wonderful. No need to think about where we will stay on our next trip to Ubud.
Couldn't fault anything
Team Sabandari is glad that you have enjoyed your stay!
