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...).

United StatesEverything was fine. The hostel is new, so everything was in great condition, there was a lot of space and storage that could be locked with a key. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was attentive and helpful. Sorong isn't the most inviting city but the people make up for it. The host, Ingrid even gave me a ride in her car to extend my visa at immigration and bought me lunch afterward. Needless to say, I invited her to dinner the last night I was there. If you're a diver you will enjoy the fact that she is a divemaster and a great source of information for the area.
Breakfast was different every day and always tasty. Ingrid, the owner would usually deliver breakfast before I woke up and it was waiting for me downstairs.

AustraliaNo toilet paper (for fair reasons) nor hand towels. Not a biggie
Ingrid excels in customer service ❤️🩹 she's super kind, attentive and helpful! The room is just what you need, with a curtain for privacy and a locker with padlock. Showers and toilets are separate, which makes it easier for when a lot of people are around (although while I was there, barely saw 5 more guests). Air conditioned, breakfast and a big greeny backyard 💚

AustraliaWhat a great experience I had at this hostel! Hadn't stayed in a hostel for 30 years so I was a bit apprehensive but the bed was comfortable, there was good security, and the communal area was a great place for interesting conversations over coffee and the delicious pastries provided for breakfast. But the true treasure of this experience is Ingrid the host. She is a seasoned traveller, dive master and born and bred local with a great sense of humour. I was here for 2 nights but could have easily stayed longer. This would be the perfect base for an extended stay or for help if you had any problems as Ingrid has many local contacts and broad experiences. The area was great too with many shops, warungs, and a massage place opposite the police station that I highly recommend. It's a vibrant bustling area with lots of friendly locals. On my last night Ingrid and her friend took a us out to a great bar for sunset drinks. They were setting up for live music too. Would never have found this on my own. Sorong is definitely not geared towards tourists so having a great host made all the difference. Definitely an unexpected highlight of my trip!💙
