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...).

United States of AmericaFriendly hosts who welcomed me in after long scooter ride in the rain. Got hot water for shower/bucket wash ready and home cooked dinner was already made. They eat dinner together which is very sweet. Breakfast was equally delicious! Jofans also helped tighten my rear view mirror. Absolutely felt taken care of and booked a night for when I come back from Kelimutu. Looking forward to the meals there already

ItalyI had a lovely stay at this home stay. Extremely clean, comfortable bed. Indonesian breakfast included. I was there during Easter and they didn’t let me pay for all the meals I had with the family. Position is good, right next to a Gunung mas office for booking buses. You can rent bikes from there as well. Makasi Ayu!

Over the Easter celebrations when much of Ruteng was closed they cooked excellent food for me and the other guests! I definitely recommend staying here!

The showers and toilets were cleaned continuously,so no wet floors. They can organise good driver and onwards transportation.

NetherlandsThe people who work there are amazing! They make you feel at home, give you a lot of tips and tell good stories about the area and there family as well. The breakfast and other food that they provide are really tasty. By far the best hostel I stayed in for years. The facilities are basic (like bucket showers) but they make it as comfortable as it can be. (Yes you get hot water).

Very friendly and helpful owners that are always down for a chat and ready to help whenever you need something. The restaurant on site (which also serves the included breakfast) is cheap and tasty. Everything was super clean and there is a nice outside area to chill and meet other travelers. Location next to bus-station which is really convenient:) Thank you for your hospitality:)

LuxembourgGreat value for money. Jofan and his wife go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Breakfast was great and so was dinner. Rooms were clean, there's no hot water in the shower but they can give you a bucket with hot water which works just as well. Jofan organised 2 scooters for us and gave us suggestions on what to do in the area (wouldn't necessarily go to Todo village as we felt it was a tourist trap, go visit Bena village in Bajawa instead :))

CanadaJo and Ayu are some of the kindest and most generous people I have met during my travels. The place is basic but clean and feels like home. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t the place but it sure is the place where you will feel like you’re in your family away from home. So many people that come here end up extending (as I did myself) because of the homestay experience with this family. Myself and the other travellers who were there had the opportunity to cook with the family and experience delicious food every day. Thanks for everything, I hope to be back sooner than later 🫶🏻

The family is so lovely, I felt like at home. They always had something for me to taste, like a cake, some typical food or arak - The location is very convenient, not far from a supermarket, ATM and just next to Gunung Mas office if you need to take the bus to go to other cities of Florès - The food was very good and they have their own restaurant
