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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

There was nothing to dislike, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rumah Pagar Merah Homestay. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and help coordinate our day trips and even toured us down to the river and through the neighborhood behind the homestay. Wonderful people.
From the moment we arrived it was very easy to settle in. They offered us tea and snacks before we went up to our room which was nice and quiet. The food was great and the family who runs the hotel were very friendly and helpful in every way. The location was great because it was set back off the main road and yet it was easy to get and around to the main attractions. When visiting Yogyakarta again in the future I would always come back to Rumah Pagar Merah Homestay.

There was no sink, which meant we had to wash our hands by using the shower.
The host family was very sweet. Not all of them spoke English well, but they were very involved with how we were doing and even offered us tea and sweets. The room itself is somewhat basic but very comfortable. It’s nice that it’s in an alley, a bit away from the main street.

There was no wash-basin in our room, but we didn't mind. There is cold water in the shower only, but because days were very hot, it was no problem and shower were refreshing for us.
This accommodation was well located, close to the city centre and very close to the train station. The room was clean and spacious with comfortable bed and well working AC, wifi work great as well. The hosts were amazing, very kind and helpful. They help us with renting a motorbike for a fair price, advise us interesting places around and draw it to our attention it's necessary to have an online reservation to Borobudur and Prambanan temple. Because we stayed couple of night there, the host provide us interesting breakfast which was simply, but was local and it was great experience for us.

There is indeed no sink, but for us it wasn’t a bother. But still good to know.
We had a lovely stay! Great location because it’s within walking distance to the train station and the lively city center Malioboro. The owners, Ited and her husband, are really kind and helpful. They helped us with renting a motorbike and gave us tips about some locations we visited. Ited even made us Guave juice when we left! Although we were next to a busy road, the hostel design gave a peaceful atmosphere, which made us feel very comfortable. The room is nice and clean. You can also order some local breakfast for a cheap price. Great place to stay, really recommend!

Really tiny detail but there is no sink. Good to know it.
The place is very clean, room are well furnished, and the location is great. Nothing to say about the room. But I loved the owners, from the arrival till the goodbye it was a pleasure to meet them. They really receive you as if you were part of the family and they help you with any problem (my backpack was broken so they took care of it for almost nothing, I needed a motorbike so someone let me one at the hotel for a fairly cheap price, they adapted to my breakfast time and shared a dinner with me). It was really pleasant to be there, thanks a lot for that!

We had an amazing stay in this homestay. We felt very welcomed since our arrival by the lovely couple of hosts. They are incredibly kind. They took great care of us and helped us for everything we needed. We even spent an awesome evening with them and their friends playing music. They definitely know how to create a friendly and joyful atmosphere. We strongly recommend this place to stay in this very nice city!
