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...).

Calm area, never heard the mosque which is not very far away. Cosy place, not too big, nice pool. The bed was very comfy (i’m always complaining about the hard bed in Asia usually). The owner, Deano, was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely go there again if i come back and recommend it to other people.

NetherlandsIf you go to Kuta Lombok stay here with Dino! He has built a wonderful accommodation that looks better in real life than the photos. There’s only 4 rooms, which feel luxurious, spacious and very clean. The bed is amazing. Breakfast is really good and a large portion, and it’s easy to rent a scooter or book a secret Gili tour for a really good price.

GermanyThis one is out of the control of the owners: the 5 am call to prayer at a neighboring mosque was difficult to get used to. It's nothing a pair of earplugs can't fix. The one other thing, which is small given the cleanliness of the place, the sheets had a damp smell when we arrived and we had to air them out.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They seamlessly helped us organize a scooter and laundry upon arrival. The room was very clean when we arrived and the pool right next to the rooms is a great way to relax after a day of surfing or just being out and about in Kuta. The rooms are also very beautifully decorated; you can tell that a lot of thought went into making the place feel welcoming. I liked that it is very quiet during the day and far removed from the busy streets of Kuta. The sourdough bread and the poached eggs for breakfast were delicious.

It was beautiful, clean and super comfortable. You can tell a lot of work went into the aesthetics! Also really nice owner who came to introduce himself, Nino, who you can ask about anything you need. Would really recommend if you want somewhere comfortable to visit kuta from or chill for a bit!

Deano is great man and takes care of his donkeys well! Accommodation has all you will need from fresh water to drink and to swim in as well. Never had bed so comfy in my life. On top of that they helped with driver from airport, had scooter ready on place of stay and arranged private surf lesson for donkeys.

GermanyNothing, but as a suggestion: A mirror inside the room would be helpful. And maybe one long table/sideboard instead of the small desk to maximise the space to place stuff from within luggage.
Absolutely beautiful interior and landscaping. Very friendly and helpful staff. Super clean. Probably one of the best places we've ever stayed at!

PolandThis place is amazing 😍 I love it and I have never stayed in a better spot in the whole of Asia. Kylee and Dino are the best host ever 💜 They will give you tips where to go and what to see. We were lucky enough to meet them both and they also took us to a few places. You will feel like at home. The rooms are beautiful, the garden is lovely and the swimming pool is very relaxing. Breakfast is delicious.This place is highly recommended and I will definitely come back there if I visit Lombok again. Thank you for everything ❤️

GermanyOne minor inconvenience we experienced was the muezzin's early morning call (around 4 a.m.) waking us up daily. While this seems to be a common feature in many accommodations in Lombok, it's worth noting that it's beyond the owner's control. The nearby mosque, has seemingly more speakers on its roof than some clubs in Berlin have on their dance floors.
The rooms are truly delightful, and the entire establishment is impeccably maintained. Wayne goes above and beyond to ensure you have everything you could possibly need. The breakfast is a culinary delight, freshly prepared each morning—an ideal kickoff to your day. Our five-night stay at this location was nothing short of amazing. You can walk to the main street in 10-15 min or ride with the scooter in about 3 min.

South AfricaNothing. Everything was superb.
Where to begin! First and foremost, the host is phenomenal. From the moment my fiancé and I stepped foot on the property we were given a warm welcome and laughing within 5 minutes. The atmosphere is happy and easy going, the property is super modern but homey and the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. We were sorted with scooters in no time and given valuable information on surf spots, markets, gyms, great restaurants to visit and activities nearby. We specifically enjoyed the honest bar facility and the tea and coffee station that were regularly cleaned and restocked. The fact that you could help yourself to fresh water or coffee whenever you wanted was a personal favourite. The garden is a sort of oasis of beautiful plants and colourful flowers. Upon entering the unit we stayed at, the first thing we noticed was how clean, modern and functional the room was. The indoor/ outdoor bathroom gives you that island feel. The breakfast was great and honestly there is nothing we could fault. We were treated to an amazing local traditional barbecue on site which was special to be a part of. Shout out to Dino (the Lombok legend) and his Australian Marmite! We will most definitely be returning and telling all our friends and family about this little gem.
