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...).

-I rented a scooter that did needed some maintenance. -Also, but that is more a personal thing, most people come here to get a Bromo-tour so people get up at night or leave early in the morning, which made it hard for me to sleep.
The hosts are very nice and helpful. Location is also very good and they offer a lot of nice drinks and food.

The location is not very nice but close to the train station, one of the malls and the rainbow and blue villages.
All the staff are absolutely amazing, they are a young team always with a smile on the face and very supportive. We need to say a thank you to all of them but especially to Namira, she is excellent, she helped us with all the information and advices we needed to go to Bromo independently.They kept our luggages when we went to Bromo and on our last day.They are offering tours and we booked one with them for the waterfalls. The rooms are ok and the hotel is clean. The commun area is nice outdoor and indoor.

Nothing … the only suggestion I have is install an electrical gate with access control that customers can use to access the hostel after 10pm . but the current situation is fine they will happily support your access after 10pm.
everything was perfect , the facilities, rooms and the staff. and the tours they arranged were very nice and matched my expectations. will defiantly consider staying here next time , no doubt.

not the best location sort of felt like we were in a more industrial part of town. very close to the rainbow village but a 30 min ish walk to centre. not too big an issue. thin walls so you hear others when trying to get sleep in the day for your preparation.
great hostel if you’re doing the Mount bromo and Tumpak sewu waterfall. full of lots of other travellers doing the same thing. staff were very accommodating and let us pay for everything at the end of the stay in one transaction.

The staff and the overall vibe is the highlight of this hostel! Nam and Nuu are aaamazing receptionists, they aren't just super helpful with whatever you might need, but also very friendly and genuinely kind 😊. This gives a nice warm and homey vibe to the hostel, that's something really appreciated by a traveler... we even hang out one night and felt like friends in the end! Last but not least: comfy bed, clean and well maintained rooms and facilities; strategic location close to some attractions and local food stalls and night market. So if you are coming to Malang... don't think twice and book Mador hostel!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thank you again for everything and sampai jumpa lagi 😄✌️

the only issue was after we checked out I watched the cleaner brush down the bed we had slept in and remake it for the next guest to sleep in the same sheets. Common in south east Asia unfortunately but just not acceptable

Knowing that a lot of people go to the warerfall and get their clothes and shies wet, it would be great to have a quick opportunity to dry everything. The light in the hallway was shining into the room, so it was very bright.
Very clean and friendly staff. A lot of shiwers and toilets, also very clean. Good breakfast menu.

Clean, calm haven just step away from rush dirty main road. Nice options for breakfast (not indonesian food!). The famed rainbow village is a few minute walk as well as night market with street food for dinner. They arrange tours to Bromo and Ijen, we took a tour to Tumpak Sewu and nearby waterfalls - just a car with driver, shared with up to 6 people, then you hike to waterfalls independently without a guide.
