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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaMaybe a little bit out of the city, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
Only a few beds so it was nice to not be overcrowded. Facilities were very clean and shower was hot & strong! Also let us use the kitchen.

CanadaThere was a lizard in our room, which isn't their fault, but I couldn't sleep haha. Bathroom was okay, really smelt bad.
Super friendly host. Great pancakes for breakfast. There was not much options though. This or toast. Constantly cleaning the floors and the main area. We came to Malang just to see the colorful village. The area felt very safe as it is in a gated community. We booked the private room but the hostel was bus as well

United KingdomI only stayed here for one night but it was good, they had water available to buy for pretty cheap. The staff were really nice and the money goes to fund the orphanage they run next door. You have your own little cubby in the dorm which is nice as most people only seen to stay for a few nights to do bromo trips.

United KingdomIt is surrounded by mosques, so it can be noisy at prayer time. However, I think that would be the case for a lot of Malang
Loveliest family that run this place, so kind and welcoming. Room was big and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was really good. Location was also good, near the main places but far enough that it is still peaceful. Would return here

GermanyThe room has one small part that cannot be closed. So the street and the muezzin call can get a bit loud, I personally recommend using earplugs, if you're a light sleeper.
Wish I could give more than just a happy smiley for the staff. The owner was so endlessly sweet and helpful, she even accompanied me to the doctor. The room was tidy and there are several small bathrooms. Water pressure and heat was great. If you want, you can have dinner with the orphans, they are really lovely and open-hearted.

FranceThe best place to stay in Malang… Because over all, it’s a human adventure you’re gonna live here! Staying in this place it’s contribute to the orphanage the owners are holding. You can share with them the dinner for a donation. The love and happy atmosphere was just really beautiful and emotional for us. We will always remember our 3 nights there. Thanks for all

United KingdomAll good 🙂
The family that own the hostel (and also run the children’s home next door) - they’re all lovely people. My wife fell sick during our stay and the owner walked us to the doctor and even translated just to be sure she was getting the care she needed. The hostel itself is good value for money and it’s nice to support local businesses like this one rather than bigger hotel chains.
