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...).

CanadaThe food was good, but not great. The facilities had everything we needed, but were a little run down/rough around the edges. The beds only came with sheets, which was unfortunate when it was a little chilly out.
The staff and location are fabulous, absolutely no complaints for either of those. Fantastic value for money.

AustraliaNot being warned about the owners black nipping dog.
Loved the location and the staff at Blue Star Bungalow’s . We spent every day of our stay in Amed relaxing on the beach lounges at the Blue Star Bungalows ( we had accommodation elsewhere) and it was so peaceful and wonderful. We snorkelled straight off the beach, ate the delicious food and rested more than we have for years . We stayed one night at the end of our visit and found it very comfortable and great value . Thanks to the beautiful staff .

Lovely friendly staff. Opposite the hotel is a beautiful reef where you see a lot of fish. Every morning, before breakfast, we were brought coffee and a thermos with hot water on the terrace of the room. The room was a large bottle of drinking water (which I personally meet for the first time). I also want to note quite delicious food, which is also quite quickly prepared. You can rent equipment for snorkeling.

NetherlandsOveral: the room and bathroom need renovation. Bathroom: bad smell, lack of water pressure in the shower. Small windows, without curtains, don’t give a feeling of privacy. Room: Electricity is dangerous (loose sockets, lamps). Lack of good curtains in the room. Not a very strong airconditioning. Not the strongest Wifi. Nevertheless, we still had a good time at Blue Star Bungalows & Cafe. We imagine that after a good renovation, our time would be great.
Clean, but old room. In the morning hot water in a thermos to make coffee and tea. Waterdispenser in the room. Great location right in front of the beach. Nice restaurant. Great staff, very hospitable. They even sent a forgotten ear cuff to our next hotel on Bali. Quiet location in February. During our four night stay, only on Saturday there was loud music from a nearby karaoke bar. The music stopped around 23.00.

AustraliaVery friendly, attentive staff. We felt welcomed and well looked after. Beds were large, very clean and so comfortable. Located on the beach with waves rolling in and out all night - very therapeutic. Drinking water on supply in the room. Bathroom partly open-air though private. Great breakfast overlooking beach to sea - beautiful view. Best we had all trip. Accommodation simple though clean.

New ZealandNothing really. The ferries to the Gili Islands no longer run from Amed, though.
Ideal location on Jemaluk Beach, right by the coral. Water cooler in the room with free drinking water. Room cleaned everyday with beds made. Great warung (restaurant) with lower prices and tastier food than some of the other places nearby. Thermos of hot water and the fixings for tea and coffee outside the room early each morning. Wonderful, friendly staff.

DenmarkThe accommodation in general in Amed is a step down in quality compared to Sanur or Ubud - but prices are also much lower. I like everything about the property -
My 4th stay at Blue Star, always when I am I Amed I stay with them - Great staff and located just 30 meter from the best coral Reef In Amed. Very safe for kids.

United StatesThe following comments are not meant as criticism but meant to inform the unsuspecting traveler. 1. Be prepared to climb steep steps down to the property and up to your room. Steep, uneven steps are very common in Amed. 2. If you travel with lots of electronics, think about packing a power strip.
This was our third stay at Blue Star. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful -- roll out of your room onto a spectacular beach with great snorkeling. Our room, while nothing fancy, was large and comfortable. Great value for the $!

HungaryAC was weak. There was a big electric fan but it was a bit noisy. The bathroom was kinda old but ok. First two days there was weird smell and noise coming out from the room next door.
Very nice location. The beach is extraordinary good. The food from the restaurant was also very good. The staff was very kind. There are bars/restaurants next to to place and they have really nice view to the ocean. We had big water in the room not just two bottles. Also it was a big room.

Fantastic spot, walk right from the cafe onto the beach and the reef is just there. Amazing first snorkelling experience for our 9 year old. Could rent snorkelling equipment on site. Lovely breakfast options and an idyllic view. Staff so helpful and friendly. Walking distance to several restaurants and it was great to have a water dispenser and fridge in the room.

CanadaThe location was a bit noisier than I had anticipated as the family bungalows face the road. The beds were not the most comfortable.
The staff were amazing, and the snorkeling right off the beach was perfect. I saw so many species of fish just feet from shore. Overall we enjoyed our time at blue star.

AustraliaNothing really. Maybe some more hanging space for wet gear like towels and snorkeling stuff. Also maybe better safe set up as ones in the rooms were not very secure.
Easy not complicated more a back packer type setting. We were a family of 4. Staff were all hard working and pleasant. Location was excellent facilities were good. We stayed for 4 nights thought I booked 2 rooms in the 1 bungalow but ended up booking 2 bungalows. So my children were even more excited when they had a whole bungalow to themselves. Price I thought was good value for money.

United KingdomThe street outside to the local shops was very busy with traffic - but it didn’t spoil our stay.
The place is right on the beach and the room was clean and spacious. Attention to detail was good. We ate at the cafe several times and everything we had was delicious. You could hire the snorkelling gear for a modest price. The staff were so friendly and helpful - special mention to Darmi who helped organise our trip to Lahangan Sweet and our onward journey.

AustraliaNothing to add here☺️
If you want to stay somewhere where you can walk right off the beach into some of Amed’s best snorkelling from just outside your accommodation, this is a fabulous choice. Rooms are simply appointed but charming and cheerful and my room had great views of the water. Nice cafe attached and sun loungers to rest on during the day, friendly and helpful staff. Loved my time in Amed and the convenience of this place to the water was a big contributor to this.
