Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

NetherlandsBeautiful interior with gorgeous furniture and paintings. There are two common seating areas, I really liked the dining area that has natural light and lots of plants. Slept really well there, there are both Indonesian and international travellers. There is a place to dry your clothes outside. The location is really central with a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby. It's right next to Ijen Boulevard, nice to go and meet the locals on Sunday. However, my favourite thing about this hostel is Mr. Ecko. Helpful, friendly, great sense of humour and can tell you lots about Malang.

SpainThe dormitory can sometimes be a bit noisy because people have to get up early to go on some tours, but this is nothing compared to how annoying a mosque or rooster can be...
This is one of the best hostels I've been to in Indonesia. The place is clean, with hot showers, comfortable common spaces, and is at a walking distance from the train station. No mosques and no roosters around, which is clearly a major plus.

SloveniaVery friendly staff, clean hostel, they have everything you need. The best thing is that you can book a tour to Tumpak Sewu, Bromo and Ijen there. The tour was an amazing experience, it was much cheaper than other similar tours and our driver a great guy - he made sure we had everything we needed and was always ready to help.

IndiaIt's not a very social hostel. But I think its like that everywhere in Malang because people just come for the waterfall and mount bromo and go to Bali / Jogja.
Everything was absolutely perfect and the staff was so helpful! They have a washing machine as well so you can wash your clothes.

United KingdomNo fault of the hostel but worth noting that most people staying in the hostel are booked onto tours leaving at various times throughout the night, which can be noisy throughout the night which is fine as long as you are expecting it.
Property was very clean and staff were lovely and happy to help. Social spaces were very nicely decorated.

I like the old homey style, it's like one of my favourite references for a house.. The staffs are nice and helpful.. Quiet - means no loud noise nearby.. It's near mall, sport center, convenience store, restaurant and coffee. 15 minutes walk to Kayutangan Street.

GermanyI only slept at Semeru for one night as I started the 3D2N Java Tour here. The hostel is super social. Great for getting to know people. Unfortunately, the tour that the hostel was working with didn't materialise, but everything was immediately put in motion so that I could take part in another tour organised by another hostel!!! Simply great, thank you!!!

IndonesiaNothing. All was perfect, thank you so much.
The hostel was perfect. They helped me with everything, I also booked 3 tours with them and we went to the Bromo Vulcano, Ijen Crater & the tumpak waterfall together. We took so many nice photos on the tours and they cared a lot. The beds are very comfy, you have lockers for your stuff and also free coffee and tee. The showers are big and clean. The stay in Nadya's Hostel was the best stay on my Indonesia trip and it's also not expensive. The people there are so friendly. Its also central so you can walk to a laundry and there are also some cute restaurants nearby like Pizza place, typical Indonesian food and a salad place. I will comeback for sure !!!
