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...).

FranceTo improve the quality of your breakfast, you could slightly revise the offer with a few more options and perhaps improve the presentation of the Western breakfast dishes (specially the pancakes and sides with eggs) Otherwise, everything was perfect !
Everything was perfect, we had a truly memorable stay at the Surya Shanti. The hotel is a peaceful haven, where everyone is so kind and extremely helpful. The dishes are delicious, and we really enjoyed the restaurant’s cuisine. The yoga class is a wonderful activity, especially when combined with massages and the swimming pool. We were so sad to leave this place, but we are sure we will come back! Terima Kasih 🫶🏼

Everything. This place was really an amazing surprise and discovery for us from the very beginning. We arrived very late in the evening (around 11pm) and they took care of us preparing a dinner and all that we needed. Joel and his staff made our stay a real dream and made us feel a special connection to Sidemen and its people. All the staff is really welcoming and they are like a big happy family. The position is very peaceful and quiet and made us really feel as we were in paradise. There are 2 pools, one in the front with a view on the ocean and one in the rear side. They were able to meet our request of vegan food and they suggested us lots of very interesting and authentic activities to do in Sideman area. The rooms are very well equipped with all the amenities you may need. They also make free yoga classes in the morning from their amazing open-air shala. In case you need something specific or you have a problem, do not hesitate to ask Joel, they will immediately find a solution for you. Excellent price for what you get.

The most stunning property - views from the pools were gorgeous. Loved our room which again had a beautiful view and spacious. The host Joel and his team were so lovely and they even did a surprise birthday breakfast for me with a cake and gift which was very sweet. We went out on a moped tour of Sidemen too and to the waterfall.

Beautiful set up, friendly and kind staff, couple of free gifts like foot massage and drink. Very thoughtful.

United KingdomBeautiful location up in the hills, surrounded by lush rain forest. Amazing staff and really excellent restaurant that was also incredible value. It's quite a challenge to get there - the road very windy - but the effort is worth it. I didn't do much except relax and flop by the two infinity pools. One of the nicest places I've ever stayed in.

The staff members were friendly and helpful. Everything at the restaurant was delicious. The owner also helped me arrange a great scooter driver for a day trip. I will definitely stay here again the next time I come back to Bali.

Wow! What a nice boutique style place this is! Their bungalows are nicely located on a hill, providing a stunning view over Sidemen’s ricefields. With 2x swimming pools there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy a tranquil holiday. Our 2x kids loved it! Their restaurant was really good. We had great food. Though, what makes this accommodation exceptional, is its staff that goes the extra mile for its guests. Thanks for hosting us. We enjoyed every minute of it! I would have rated an 11, if possible 😊

AustraliaWhat can I say about this place - it was one of the highlights of our trip. Incredible family villa with stunning views over the pool and rice terraces. The food was exceptional, staff and owners incredibly welcoming and helpful. Even gave the kids a leaving gift. The gardens are immaculate and the two pool areas means there’s always a place to escape too for some peace or where the kids can let off steam without disturbing anyone.

United StatesThere was no electricity the first night in the upstairs ,so AC wasn't working and it was really hot , I didn't get any sleep the first night. They did comp my dinner because of the stolen phone issue. And they gave me a complimentary massage which was super nice. There also wasn't hot water in my room though.
The staff is so kind and accommodating. My phone was stolen out of my scooter while I was riding it and the staff helped me out so much in getting a new phone by taking me to a nearby town and helping with police. The rooms are amazing and the views are wonderful. Loved the pool. Food was pretty good.
