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):
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.
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.).

Everything was wonderful! We stayed at the villa for 32 nights, and each day was more fantastic than the last. The villa is an excellent place to stay for as long as you like! Everything was very clean, the breakfast was nice, and the couple who takes care of the villa were amazing. The location is also great — very close to the center of Ubud dy motorcycle

HungaryThe most beautiful accomodation we had in Bali so far. Wonderful staff. The villa is so much nicer in real life, than it is on the picture. Breakfast was good, and enough. Scooter rentals are just in 5 mins of walk. Ubud center is only a few minutes by scooter.

United KingdomOur stay was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we stepped into the villa, we knew we were in for a fantastic experience. Everything we could possibly need—and more—was provided: a beautiful private pool, total privacy, great air conditioning, a super comfortable bed, and truly exceptional staff. Each evening, we simply placed our breakfast order, and it was delivered right to our villa at the time we requested—a thoughtful and luxurious touch. We also loved the short walk from the main road to the villa, winding through a charming village and picturesque rice fields. Communication with Kadek was seamless throughout. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ubud who wants to enjoy peace and tranquility away from the hustle and traffic.

Amazing villa with a private pool not far from Ubud centre but away from the busy roads. Very peaceful, quiet, lush garden, awesome pool, and nice staff. We will certainly stay again in the future, highly recommend!

Czech RepublicThe wifi was working but not great, significantly lowered once the neighbours arrived, but still sufficient for “urgent” things. They brought the wrong breakfast once, but it was still delicious and i’m sure they would have promptly switched it if we asked them to do it.
The staff was extremely friendly and kind. The villa itself is great: the bathroom and bedroom are clean, comfortable and spacious. The private pool adds value when you want relax peacefully at the end of a long day sightseeing. They provide free bottled water which is definitely a plus on bali! Breakfast service is on time and filling. You can’t reach the villa by car, but it’s only a 5/10 min walk from the main street and there’s plenty of scooter rentals near by, which you can park in front of the villa. The staff helps with the luggage and getting to and from the villa on check in/out.

United KingdomIt would be nice to have an umbrella for the sun beds so that you can sit under shade.
The property was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The pool at the villa was beautiful. The breakfast was delivered to the property each morning by Yanwas. The breakfast was very tasty and well presented. Wiyam and Yanwas were extremely kind and helpful, they couldn’t do enough for you. The other staff we also met related to the property could not be faulted. We visited the cafe they run ‘Bubu Warung’. The food was delicious and extremely good value.

AustraliaVery comfortable and serene garden villa in a quiet area of Penestenan amongst the rice paddies. It is however a 10 minute walk to the main road to catch a Gojek and a little isolated. But that's kind of also the point of staying out of the main strip.

JapanComfy bed, spacious and cool bathroom. New and functional AC. Garden looks like in the pictures Pool has 3 small fountains that run 8am to 6pm and give a nice background noise. All communication to the manager via WhatsApp, and one of the staff lives just next door to take care of everything. Stable and good wifi. New TV. This rental has 2 private villas next to each other. No1 (the one we had) seems more spacious. Only downside: 10min walking to a proper roads where cars can drive. Because the roads to go to the villa are not just narrow, but not that even - renting a scooter you'll need to be a confident scooter driver.

AustraliaWe loved everything about this villa. It’s my new favourite villa
We 1000% recommend this villa to everyone. The staff were the best we have come across, the villa is very well set up and very beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect for our needs (Penestanan is not in central Ubud). We look forward to staying again. It really was perfection.

AustraliaA bit far from the main road, if you don't know how to ride a scooter then it will be quite a distance walk (roughly 10-15 minutes) since cars would not be able to get in.
The place is clean and it has all the facilities we need, staff are extremely likable and they accommodate all of our requests. We tried different items for our 3 breakfasts and they were all delicious and fresh. Despite the location being a bit far from the main road, you can get services delivered easily (food, drink, even massage). As the villa is surrounded by rice fields, you will be waking up everyday peacefully. Oh yeah, the bed is really comfy too. Highly recommended.

IndiaNothing! Only wish we could have stayed longer. WiFi was a bit patchy our first night there, but that got resolved fairly quickly.
Beautiful and comfortable little villa hidden in some quaint by-streets away from the hustle and traffic of central Ubud, yet still walking distance to several restaurants and cafes. Stunning little pool, well done up bedroom and chilling area and a gorgeous spacious bathroom and separate toilet area. Everything was wonderfully clean. There was plentiful hot water in the shower, air conditioning worked well, bed was super comfortable and there was a water dispenser where we could refill our water bottle whenever we wanted. Overall a very luxurious stay. When we arrived, we were greeted with a delicious welcome drink at Bubu Warung (owned by the same people who own Ulun Mertha) and were then taken to the villa along with our luggage on scooter by Yanwas and the very sweet and friendly lady (whose name I missed). Unfortunately we missed having breakfast here as we had very early starts every morning, but the breakfast menu looked good too. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and quintessential Ubud vacation!

ItalyVilla Ulun Mertha is a small piece of Paradise few minutes from Ubud. The place is beautiful, very comfortable and calm, in typical balinese style. Breakfast is super good and freshly cooked, they provide everything you need, so kind! The water dispenser is a big plus! Villa ulun mertha is greatly suggested if you want to rest but also to enjoy Ubud and surroundings. Super!

Absolutely beautiful. True to the photos. The staff were wonderful and helpful. Having a full-size fridge and drinking water dispensers with cold and hot water was a bonus saved buying water daily. Breakfast cooked and delivered was fantastic. The scooter ride in was so much fun. We decided to do a tour for our last day we just asked and it was organised for us without any problems.
