How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Verified reviewThe team at HamuEco were amazing, really made us feel welcome and looked after us well. The food was lovely and served in their restaurant with a fabulous sea view. Communication prior to arrival was great and they arranged a car to pick us up from the port which really helped when we arrived.
My only criticism would be that the shower was not the best. The one in our room needed a new head and sprayed everywhere except down...but this didn't spoil our stay.

Verified reviewEarly trip to see birds of Paradise and Kalibiru. Walking along beach and road watching birds. Good food, AC in room for a change :-), nice company.
The reef in front of resort was very disappointing after staying at other places. There was quite a bit of rubbish laying around the general area and some buildings were crumbling

Verified reviewAmazing stay! We really loved it. Food was good, we are vegetarian and they always made some tofu/tempeh for us. Easy to plan Diving or other Tours. And they really do their best to give you a great time.
The plan we made via Email for our Diving-Scheudel seemed to be fixed but when we arrived we needed to plan everything again because the staff at the resort didn’t know anything about the plan. Annoying.

Verified reviewThe location and the staff. Super nice coral reef infront of the jetty. And the best of the best was the food.
The owner should put some maintenance into the resort. I think he earns enough money to spend it on the resort. Change the shower, fix the sewer etc. which are basic expanses.

Verified reviewRooms were really comfortable, over the water all that was needed. AC a real bonus. Food was good quality and quantity. The team provided 3 dives a day, well guided and safe. On our days off diving, they arranged tours to see other amazing locations.

Verified reviewWe had the best stay at Hamueco. Everyday we had an abundance of fresh and delicious Indonesian food. The staff was super helpful, Ezra did a great job in answering all our questions (his English is really good). The rooms are amazingly comfortable: AC all day, electricity all day and perfecte service with Tellkomsell. The reef outside of the resort is stunning, we saw a scorpion fish just a few meters away as well as a lot of other fish. The resort is super romantic with the long pier and outlook on the sunset. We would consider this as one of the best places we’ve ever visited!

Verified reviewLovely stay, very nice hosts, great food, nice vegetarian option. Overwater bungalows were very nice, cozy bed, reliable AC, nice bathroom and great view from the terrace. Resort does offer own dive tours with a guide, but you can also dive at the housereef (which is overall not fantastic but okay for a few dives in between), equipment was okay
The vegetarian alternative to Chicken/ Fish was Egg - it's quite nice for a few days, but after 3rd day you have ate enough eggs.

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, great food, and beautiful location. They made sure to have lunch ready when we were arriving, and even let us remain in the room after check out time until leaving for the 2 pm ferry, and provided lunch on the last day as well. It’s a home stay and little wood houses in the water, so don’t expect hot water, but it provides everything that was promised.

Verified reviewGood location, room/ bathroom was clean, staff are very friendly and attentive. Diving was easy to coordinate with Hamueco
Needs to clean up trash around the property and needs to add sunbeds for beach or deck lounge. I had no subbed to sunbathe on.

Verified reviewThe jetty and coral reef out front were outstanding. The beach coastline was sandy and nice for a walk. Snorkeling on site was full of fish. The over the water bungalow view was special with a unique patio and hammock to chill. Ezra was helpful, friendly and spoke good English.
Value for money did not match. The facilities and amenities were not matching the price point for a rustic bungalow. The food was lacking variety. There was a lack of atmosphere if you want to socialize as well. No hot water shower after a dive or wifi. The owner is not on site. Diving prices and activities were more expensive than other resorts nearby.
From the arrival you already complaint about no wifi, no hot water, no western food which we never advertise we have. But you insist for money refund or will give us bad review. We already gave you refund but still bad review you make. Please read and do more research before make any booking, and say we don't provide many things as your want. We are small business in recover after c19, every review is matter for us.

Verified reviewThe view of sunset from the jetty was gorgeous . Snorkelling of the jetty was great - saw blacktop shark , bamboo shark, rays etc . Hammocks and balcony’s lovely for relaxing . Owner very helpful sorting tours
Food was very basic. Plenty of it available but worth having a few snacks in the room No shops or anything nearby the hotel expensive / less Good value compared with elsewhere in Indonesia but that’s true for all of raja ampat I think

Verified reviewFood was good. The translator Danny very helpful.
ATTENTION: I got quite a bit of money stolen. Reading reviews at other platforms not an isolated case. There is no manager at the resort. Huts over the water need to be refurbished. Diving quite pricy, see attachment. All in all disappointing and I cannot recommend this place.
