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...).

ItalySome communication problems related to the booking of the transportation to the resort - which is a bit remote, 30 minutes by private speedboat from Karimunjawa island, which can be reached by 30 minutes flight or 2 hrs. ferry from the mainland - as initially it appeared that we would have to arrange our own transportation from the port to the airport to catch the speedboat as they were picking up other guests there. The problems were eventually solved and immediately forgotten as soon as we were in the care of the wonderful staff.
A paradise island completely for the (few in our case) guests! Excellent service, wonderful rooms and common areas, great food, including locally made bread and pastries. Around you have a calm lagoon where to swim and do some snorkelling and further the open sea with amazing snorkelling, all steps away from your room. There is the opportunity also to do wonderful excursions for snorkelling or diving, and Roberta really makes you feel at ease to participate in these activities and, in my case, to try diving, something I had always wanted to do but never had the courage to. The staff is amazing, with smiles and gentleness at all levels, including the manager Sandro who personally makes sure you have a great time. The best resort I have ever been.

GermanyEverything was perfect
We had a very good time there. The island is beautiful. The hotel is quite, but not far away from the centre of the village. Marco and his wife did everything to organise a perfect time for us. We rented there a scooter, got proposals where to go and did a snorkeling tour. They even organised the whole trip from there to mount Bromo and Yogjakarta. We really recommend the place and would like to come back one day.

Of course Marco and his very kind wife! The kitchen girls were very kind and our dear Alib who took care of the garden and so many other things in this wonderful place!The breakfast was super big, with an incredible variety, fruits, pancakes and tea or coffee, as well as local flavors with fried rice, vegetables, etc. The beaches, the port, as well as the village are very close. The bungalows comfortable and clean just like in the photos! Without asking, they offered to pick us up from the port, even though it's only a 7' walk. A little paradise that you can hardly find anywhere else. Ευχαριστούμε Μάρκο για όλα! Χριστόφορος και Κωνσταντίνος.

United KingdomIt was all good
The hotel was peaceful, set a short walk from the main village. The gardens were beautiful and the villas were clean and spacious. It was very relaxing, location. The staff were exceptional, all very friendly - the waitress, the cook and the Gardner! Most exceptional was Marco, the owner and manager. He was very welcoming, knowledgeable about the island and very accommodating. Sorted out my vegetarian gluten free breakfast, made great recommendations for restaurants and organised a snorkeling trip and motor bike hire. Hem couldn't hav e some more for us. We were very sorry to leave and highly recommend this hotel

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing. The hotel is run so well and everything was magical
This hotel is like a dream. The facilities are excellent, the location is near to the Main Street. The best thing was Marco he went out of his way to make our stay run so well. Such variety of breakfast, help with booking snorkelling, scooters, boat back to mainland. Lending his snorkel life jacket and crash helmets. Most of all he gave us so much of his time, chatting, helping out. He is such an interesting man where his knowledge of life is vast. Marcus really did make our holiday on this very special island memorable and something we will never forget

Outside toilet and shower were very cool and hot water !! Breakfast was outstanding , something g different every morning Seafood for breakfast was great.
