Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaOn my last day, I found that my pillow inside the pillow case had black mould. The room was very dark. Somehow my room always felt damp. The bathroom was indoor/outdoor, and the door didn't close properly. The room had small decorative holes in the brickwork, making it impossible to fully close the doors and windows thereby reducing the effectiveness of the air con and allowing in insects. The coffee/tea was not replenished during my week-long stay. Pool had missing tiles with sharp edges. The included breakfast was great, but only available after 8:30am.
Big room, great location. Included breakfast at the nearby restaurant was excellent. Pretty pool area.

United States of AmericaOur unit needs a new AC unit. It works but very noisy. Some noise from the road, septic smell in front of complex and a bit in our bathroom. One of the veranda doors couldn't open which was very silly.
We stayed in the veranda sweet closest to the road. Great lighting, lots of windows, has a spa attached-basic but good, wrap around porch is great, big and open space, amazing desk in front of a mirror. Overall perfect for our needs to spread out and work at the same time with my partner. I never made it to the pool area. Great location too

AustraliaThe property is in need of renovation. The water pressure/showers didn’t work in many of the rooms, a/c unit was dated in our room and the downstairs bedrooms smell musty - they need to be aired daily and some method of ensuring they don’t smell musty. Also no house keeping- we were there 5 days and had no cleaning or bed sheets/towel changes. This doesn’t need to be changed every day but cleaning should be daily. And water provided.
The property has a rustic charm with a lovely garden feel tucked away from the main area. It’s very conveniently located in a great area. Upstairs bedrooms are comfortable, light and airy. Nice pool area near front of property.

United KingdomStaff were not cleaning the room or Villa, and even when requested still did not always action. It wasn’t clear if kitchen and bathrooms would be cleaned daily. I emailed the manager via booking.com and did not respond to my messages, particularly when had to inform I was arriving a day late. They lost our villa that we booked, although replaced with equivalent. There should be a different number on the site to be able to speak to someone direct, since is a landline that joins answers There is no direct line to staff working on the actual premises if needed to get directions etc.
Villa was amazing

United KingdomIn general I think the place needs a bit of a refresh. The AC unit in our bungalow rattled loudly on occasion and one of the windows didn’t stay closed. There were also lot of ants around the room. A key ring for the room key would be great as it’s a small key and easy to loose
I love Gajah Biru. 3rd time I’ve stayed here. The staff are lovely, the bungalows are spacious with great terraces to chill out on and a great pool. Can’t fault them for value for money. The spa does the best massage in Ubud and the shop opposite does everything you could ever need from laundry to motorbike hire. It’s close to lots of great places but far enough out of the town centre to feel chill.

AustraliaI booked for 4 nights but left after 2, even without a refund for the remaining nights as it was not at all worth staying. Very unclean (floors were FILTHY, walking barefoot in the room left my feet black). The private villa was not at all private and on a number of occasions I found guests who were staying in other villas had let themselves in to sit in the garden and swim in the pool. There was no lock on the gate and the doors to the rooms also had very flimsy locks. I felt very unsafe there. The furniture in the garden was falling apart and wasn’t comfortable to sit on. The upstairs room had no hot water and the shower wouldn’t work at all if someone downstairs was using their bathroom. The airconditioning only had two settings - off or arctic blast - so could not get comfortable through the hot nights. Overall this place was dingy and creepy, and did not look like the photos. I was so glad I had a friend with me because at night it was very eerie. The booking.com listing said it included airport transfers, but when I contacted the villa to make the arrangement, I was told it was an extra charge. Dont stay here unless you are completely out of other options.
I stayed in the Jasmine suites which had a semi-private pool. The pool was an interesting shape with cool elephant fountains flowing into it. I say it was ‘semi-private’ because despite being sold as a private pool several times I found people had let themselves in to the garden to swim. Even first thing in the morning. The bed was okay, reasonably comfortable, but basic.

New ZealandThere was a small problem with plumbing, it leaked in the bathroom any time I used the bathroom tap - so just the plumbing is a bit tired. Everything was fine enough…until one of the workers started hitting on me, women travelling alone and being friendly with conversation with staff does not mean that they are open to remarks like ‘what time are you going to bed’ nor does it make it okay to put their hands around their waist and give them a ‘squeeze’ I was having a lovely time until that happened - I love Bali, I love being in Ubud, I enjoy Balinese culture and people so I was annoyed when that happened
Location was great, loved the seated area outside the room, bed was comfortable and the pool was also great

SingaporeUnderstandable that it is an old villa, but at least they have to maintain to some repair of the Villa Main door ( it is very challenging to close it ) , they need to cut the grasses on the pool area and trim the plants . The place is nice but need proper maintenance.
Privacy. Since we took a villa, we expect privacy for the family and this villa provided it
