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):
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.).

IndonesiaThe bungalows aren't new, but still clean and comfortable.
Perfect location nearby warungs easy to walk to. The pool was a nice feature since there aren't many places with pools in Sideman. The bungalows were separate from each other, so provided some privacy. The view from the restaurant / breakfast area was beautiful (The bungalows are on a hill, so from my room, just a view of trees and rooftops)

United KingdomThe room didn't have aircon which we didn't realize when booking. It is cooler in Sidemen than other parts of Bali so it was ok with the fans and mosquito net.
The staff were amazing - so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious - best banana pancakes ever and very nice options. We also had dinner at the restaurant and it was great. The view from the restaurant on Mt. Agung is incredible. The pool area was very nice too. They have a lovely dog who lives there.

United KingdomAs our second visit to Giri Carek in chalet no. 3 with the best view in Sidemen we still can't fault the accommodation. The pool is delightful. You can dine at a different restaurant every night, Warung Joni on the corner we would highly recommend. Giri Cariks restaurant is pretty good too. Breakfast is great and if you ask nicely they can get you a very good Nasi Goreng. Will we visit again most definitely. Much love to Ayu and the cheeky team.

SlovakiaPool area might get bit too noisy, especially, when other guests do not consider people staying in the rooms located next to pool area and have a loud chats and beers there in the evening/night. One night they even intruded my terrace and left full ashtray there, which was very rude and not pleasant as I am a non smoker. Room has little openings above the main entrance, so the smell from outside easily travels inside. Having pool area and other common spaces as a non smoking areas would be much better, especially because there were guests with little kids as well.
Very well located place to stay at in Sidemen. Pool area was nice, right in front of my room, in a beautiful garden. Room was spacious and clean, with comfy bed. There is no AC in the room, so it might get bit hot, but there is a fan provided. Views of Mt. Agung from the elevated restaurant terrace are amazing, and this is where delicious breakfast is served too. All staff is very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
A truly lovely stay at Giri Carik in beautiful Sidemen. The views of Gunung Agung, the garden setting, the lovely pool and the attractive Balinese style bungalows. The walking in this area is gorgeous. Just head out and explore. But you don't need to do too much other than just take it easy and luxuriate in the surroundings. The rooftop restaurant is lovely with alternatively good volcano views. The food is really good, both breakfast and otherwise. What often matters uppermost though is the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. Excellent here and a big thank you for being so!

IndonesiaOnly a few small things. The shower almost right over the toilet was a bit difficult. The bed was very hard. And the mozzie net was positioned wrongly to be able to use it, so we didn't use it.
We loved the location and staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious with a separate seating area and balcony. Plus value for money was fabulous 😍
