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.).

IndonesiaIt's quite difficult to find cheap and proper laundry services nearby.
I like the old homey style, it's like one of my favourite references for a house.. The staffs are nice and helpful.. Quiet - means no loud noise nearby.. It's near mall, sport center, convenience store, restaurant and coffee. 15 minutes walk to Kayutangan Street.

GermanyI only slept at Semeru for one night as I started the 3D2N Java Tour here. The hostel is super social. Great for getting to know people. Unfortunately, the tour that the hostel was working with didn't materialise, but everything was immediately put in motion so that I could take part in another tour organised by another hostel!!! Simply great, thank you!!!

IndonesiaNothing. All was perfect, thank you so much.
The hostel was perfect. They helped me with everything, I also booked 3 tours with them and we went to the Bromo Vulcano, Ijen Crater & the tumpak waterfall together. We took so many nice photos on the tours and they cared a lot. The beds are very comfy, you have lockers for your stuff and also free coffee and tee. The showers are big and clean. The stay in Nadya's Hostel was the best stay on my Indonesia trip and it's also not expensive. The people there are so friendly. Its also central so you can walk to a laundry and there are also some cute restaurants nearby like Pizza place, typical Indonesian food and a salad place. I will comeback for sure !!!

The plants everywhere and the open and comfortable vibe give this place an amazing energy to stay. You will meet a lot of people who are willing to join you on your trip as most people are coming to malang for the same reasons. You will not regret making your reservation here.

United StatesThe tour to the volcano is rather expensive. Might be able to book a cheaper one somewhere else or just stay over in that village.
This place was really nice. The decor was vintage like something out of my aunt's house which made me feel very comfortable. The staff gentleman had good recommendations on what to do. Overall was satisfied. Be sure to rent a motorbike at the train station if you arrive from there so you can drive yourself around.
