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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The host was exceptionally friendly, meeting us at the train station at no extra charge. For our Bromo tour, he got up at 1 AM to prepare tea and coffee for us. Additionally, he assisted us in securing a bus to Ijen when train tickets were unavailable. The room is average but equipped with everything needed for an overnight stay, including AC.

Budi, the owner, is the kindest host. He took care of me since the very first moment until the very end, communication via WhatsApp, which is very convenient to me. He organized the bromo tour for me and answered me many questions I had regarding different places to visit in Java and transportation. It really worth it staying in his place 2 nights. Hot shower, air conditioning and good wifi. He knows how to treat European tourists. See you in Las Ramblas!

I can’t recommend this booking more than possible. The host is absolutely a star. He picked us up from the twins station, helped us to get a driver to Vulcans bera by and sorted out bus tickets to Bali! He’s absolutely fabulous!!! Never had better host. About facilities: you got everything you need, ac works beautifully, some nice restaurants close by( 10 min walk). If you staying in this town you should book this place!

This place is worth choosing because of the host. He picked us up from the station without asking for it (free of charge) and gave us coffee/tea, explained everything about going to Bromo and etc. Very kind and helpful. The rooms are of budget standard, clean, bed was very comfortable. The price is reasonable. Defently recommend because of the host.

Dont book a tour with Adrian as charges 600 ( discount apparently) but it’s basically a taxi ride to the bottom of the volcano and then gives you a “short cut” which is basically them not paying the entrance fee. When we did Ijen the next day for 300 with a tour into the crater
Great host and room was good

Budi is an excellent host who goes above and beyond for his guests! He picked us up from the train station, arranged a motorbike for us, made us coffee at 1:30 in the morning before Bromo and dropped us back at the train station the next day. The room is clean, functional, totally fine for a few nights. We whole-heartedly recommend staying here!

This is an amazing place, and the host Budi is an incredibly interesting and hospitable guy, with an erudite understanding of Indonesian history. Also Probolinggo is not only a transit hub to Bromo, the city itself is also a vivid and cordial East Java town. If you come in winter, it's really worthy to go to Bentar Beach and try your luck to see if you can spot the whale sharks.

The room was nice and clean and totally reached our expectation for a pleasant stay. Also Budi helped us out when no grab driver wanted to take us to Bromo. He picked us up and organized a friend to take us. Also he organized us Bus tickets without charging an extra fee for himself and even let us use a shower on the day we came back from Bromo even though we only stayed the night before. We are so glad we found such a nice person and a place to feel comfortable in Probolinggo which we found very overwhelming and demanding. Would always recommend!
