How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

There was no electricity sockets in the bathroom. You have to do hair drying in the room.
Location and staff are great. There is some noise at night from the street food market and a bar near by. We chose it because it's near to everything.

Clean rooms. Helpful staff. Great location by the sea. Excellent views from the top floors. A good Makassar option!

The bed linen was really dirty (stains and used to be white). No breakfast, no bar although there was a terrace including a roof terrace which was also closed. It's just a guesthouse because the hotel facilities don't work.
The hotel is located at a great location on losai beach and close to the fort. The rooms are modern. Price is fair.

I got ripped off by this hotel!! When I checked in I tried to pay twice with my debit card and it was denied by the machine. I paid the third time with another card and it was accepted. soon after I received the message that the first two attempts were charged in the form of pre-authorization. I spoke to the unfriendly manager and she confirmed the three payments but said that it would not be possible to refund me and that I would get my money back within 14 days. Even if he did, which he didn't, that's absurd!!!! because if I needed the money before, it would not be available. But the manager didn't want to know, she said that there would be no refunds and that was it. I lost the whole day that I stayed in Makassar trying to get my money back and I couldn't find out anything. I have never been so disrespected by a hotel in my life. I thought about calling the police, but I didn't want to get in more trouble and I ended up accepting the loss. Do not stay at this hotel !! Bunch of thieves!! They should at least lose the partnership with booking.com.
The location is good, the rooms are reasonable, good cleaning, good shower, good air conditioning.

When we have arrived, our beds were really ugly. both of them had big ugly stains. We asked at the reception to please change the sheets. when we came back, the sheets were as ugly as before and we had to use our sleeping bags… not so funny because for this price I can get a nice and comfortable hotel in Indonesia. also, the cleaning service was very stingy and not professional.
The only good thing was that they had a official balcony for every guest for smoking. Also, the personal at the reception was friendly, they helped us out with every situation.
