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.).

Nothing, maybe just the portion size a bit small and kitchen quite slow.
We had a private room with aircon. Room was big enough for all our luggage. Comfy and quiet as the private rooms are on the 2nd floor (and dorms on the first). There was a private bathroom for girls, which was great, felt like being in a hotel. Tours they organise are great (we did the waterfall one). Social hostel, easy to meet people. Hostel serves breakfast and lunch. Wifi was ok.

-I rented a scooter that did needed some maintenance. -Also, but that is more a personal thing, most people come here to get a Bromo-tour so people get up at night or leave early in the morning, which made it hard for me to sleep.
The hosts are very nice and helpful. Location is also very good and they offer a lot of nice drinks and food.

The location is not very nice but close to the train station, one of the malls and the rainbow and blue villages.
All the staff are absolutely amazing, they are a young team always with a smile on the face and very supportive. We need to say a thank you to all of them but especially to Namira, she is excellent, she helped us with all the information and advices we needed to go to Bromo independently.They kept our luggages when we went to Bromo and on our last day.They are offering tours and we booked one with them for the waterfalls. The rooms are ok and the hotel is clean. The commun area is nice outdoor and indoor.

Nothing … the only suggestion I have is install an electrical gate with access control that customers can use to access the hostel after 10pm . but the current situation is fine they will happily support your access after 10pm.
everything was perfect , the facilities, rooms and the staff. and the tours they arranged were very nice and matched my expectations. will defiantly consider staying here next time , no doubt.

not the best location sort of felt like we were in a more industrial part of town. very close to the rainbow village but a 30 min ish walk to centre. not too big an issue. thin walls so you hear others when trying to get sleep in the day for your preparation.
great hostel if you’re doing the Mount bromo and Tumpak sewu waterfall. full of lots of other travellers doing the same thing. staff were very accommodating and let us pay for everything at the end of the stay in one transaction.

The staff and the overall vibe is the highlight of this hostel! Nam and Nuu are aaamazing receptionists, they aren't just super helpful with whatever you might need, but also very friendly and genuinely kind 😊. This gives a nice warm and homey vibe to the hostel, that's something really appreciated by a traveler... we even hang out one night and felt like friends in the end! Last but not least: comfy bed, clean and well maintained rooms and facilities; strategic location close to some attractions and local food stalls and night market. So if you are coming to Malang... don't think twice and book Mador hostel!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thank you again for everything and sampai jumpa lagi 😄✌️
