Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Pleasant services by the staff are given during my stay in this communal site where i met various tourist preferences from all over the world as one story that i can't ever forget. Really enjoyed to stay here, much home appliance are applicable therefore i could save my savings to do more activities in Yogyakarta. The staff always clean every spot and corner of this hotel so that i felt comfortable to stay here. If i had more time i would make my stay longer. Thank you Gorga Hostel!

Located on a quiet street in a busy neighborhood, it was a good base to explore around. Scooter rental at the hostel was very convenient. Also able to get a cheap SIM delivered, rather than buying one at the airport.

The cheapest or one of the cheapest hostels in Yogyakarta and for that value you get a lot. Stuff is super nice, rooms are good, bed comfortable and with curtains and lights, lockers and refill water. Absolutely recommended.

Upper bed sheets are small. Toilet and showers outside so you can get wet going there when it is raining. A bit far from the center of the city.
The people there were really nice and helpful. Large rooms. Fully equipped kitchen (the best i saw in Indonesia) and large common rooms (great for meeting people and sharing a meal). Comfortable beds. Lovely place 😃

In my opinion I always like to sleep with two pillows, they only had one pillow per person. It isn't a big deal, I just would prefer to have two pillows to sleep with.
It was a nice place, a bit social if you wanted it to be. They staff was nice and offered to help however they could. Room was a nice size and the AC worked well.

We had an amazing stay at Gorga hostel. The host John and the team is amazing. They will help you with anything needed. The place beautiful, clean and central, so all of the places of central jogya are in walking distance. Nice cute and quiet but still lively neighborhood! Everything perfect 10/10 recommend and will come back!
