Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThere was not much we didn't enjoy about our stay here. Nothing comes to mind at all
Friendly staff, great room, beautiful view. restaurant was delicious just a little off the main area but we hired scooters so it was fine. I am going back to this place it was beautiful. They also provided a filtered water jug in the room for drinking so we didn't have to buy loads of plastic water bottles

AustraliaWould be great to have an onsite taxi that can drive you to local places. Cepik Villa is located at the bottom of the hill and it's a good 30 minute walk to Sidemen town centre. It is a very steep walk even to the closest warungs so if you are unfit we suggest considering hiring a scooter - we wish we did.
The staff were wonderful. Customer Service at it's best. On arrival we weren't just shown to our room we were given a tour and everything was explained to us. We were greeted at the restaurant with complimentary Rosella Juice which was a lovely surprise. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We ordered room service on a couple of occasions and couldn't fault any of the food. Loved the smoothie bowls and all breakfasts on offer. Room was incredibly spacious - we were in the rice terrace room and the view was memorable and picturesque. We used a private driver organised by the Cepik Villa and also did their organised tours - 3hr rice field trek and the cooking class both which were excellent. We loved that it wasn't over crowded so you receive more personalised service with limited number of rooms available.

JapanThere were a lot of insects in the restaurant, but it could not be helped because the restaurant was located outside. Other nearby restaurants are in the same situation.
The views from the restaurant and the room were nice. Pool was also clean and located at great position in the villa.

GermanyWe had the pool villa. The door is a bit old and close very difficult. It’s getting very fast hot inside because the door is not properly closing. The bathroom is getting fast wet and a bit smelly because a window is missing.
Nice view and location. Fantastic food in the restaurant. You have to try the fried Tempe. The stuff is very friendly and super helpful.

SloveniaKeep in mind that you'll have visitors in the room like ants, gecos because the door and windows aren't really isolated. Mosquitos weren't an issue, but bring repelent and the electrical socket repelent is also useful. Sadly, we forgot ours in the room :)
Sideman is a hidden gem in East Bali. This small hotel offers pretty nature and authentic experience. The rooms are big and bright, breakfast is fine.

Wow, what a place to stay in Sidemen. The best accomodation we stayed in for our whole trip. I have a bit of a rule of thumb when travelling in Bali that every place you stay in there will be 'something' wrong with it, it will never be as good as the photos, so as to set expectations and not get disappointed. But this place proved me wrong – it was perfect, and better than I'd expected. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in Bali and escape the overcrowded touristy hotspots, Sidemen is a dream and this place is just what you need. The pool is so tranquil, the staff are the loveliest, the food at the restaurant is delicious. We will definitely be coming back!

BulgariaLots of humidity in this area of Bali, you feel it a lot in the room. The house where we slept was really nice on the outside, but needs an inside refreshment. Not much choice for breakfast.
Nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Quiet and relaxing place in the nature. We stayed here for 3 nights and visit the east of Bali.

We were fortunate enough to stay in the best room available. It had the most stunning views of the mountains and rice paddy fields. The suite was exceptionally private and very spacious with a huge canopy bed. The bathroom was deluxe and had the same amazing views as the bedroom.
