Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

BelgiumAt night you hear the loud music of the mosque so earplugs are recommended.
The breakfast was good and the swimming pool was amazing to refresh. We really liked the neighborhood with the little bars with live music and overall atmosphere.

United StatesThe A/C could have been stronger. We stayed in the family room and it was comfortable but I would have liked to make it cooler, the unit was just not capable of it.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange transport to/from airport and gave us a ton of helpful info! They have a little welcome packet that even points out all the best ways to get to the sights and most recommended food spots around town, this was much appreciated. Also appreciated, we arrived before check in and they let us change and use the pool for a couple hours. We were welcomed with a smile every time.

United KingdomThe aircon in my room wasn't super strong, but it worked well enough to keep me cool at night (and I run hot). however, the room did stay cool even with the aircon off. The shower water pressure wasn't great and the WiFi was a bit patchy in the rooms.
Amazing stay at Otu. The location is great, a few minutes from the main Backpacker street with restaurants and cafes. The common areas of the hostel are really nice - the pool is beautiful and clean, and there is comfy seating. There's also a well stocked communal kitchen. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic but have what you need and the beds were comfy.

MalaysiaMost taxi, grabcar or big vans won't enter the small alleyway that leads from the main road to this hostel. Have to walk about 6-7 minutes from main road. An issue if you are carrying big luggages. Maybe call up the hostel for some assistance
I love the staff. Friendly and helpful. Hostel assisted to keep my luggage while I was traveling to other parts of Java. The hostel staff also values my return and multiple stays at Otu, they accomodated to my requests. Other things I love about this hostel apart from the staff is the clean swimming pool. If you stay for one night, you cannot see the value of these things. Few nights to one week stay and then you will see that the hostel has the perfect balance of giving you some peace of mind, good service & good location. can't do your own quick clothing washes anymore as there is no more place to hang your wet clothes, but not an issue. Just opt for Indonesia's cheap laundry services

BelgiumWe had a wonderful time at Otu Hostel. Nania, Robby, Elvira and staff made us feel very welcome each time we passed the lobby. They also helped us a lot with usefull advice and logistics. Neighbourhood is lively and kind of hipster, with lots of nice restaurants at walking distance. Hostel though is a peaceful and quiet place. Very good value for money with real and warm persons running the business.

FranceNothing all was so nice
All is nice (thick mattresses, Access to swimminh pool kitchen and fridge, some showers with hot water which is rare...), but the staff is the most special part of this place. Elvira and Habba are 2 lovely receptionnists who will do their best to help you get your ticket, train, nice restaurant, driver, best views of the city,... Or even take care of your injury in the middle of the night and help you through hospital if needed! Thank you SO MUCH again for all of that!

United KingdomThe property was exceptionally clean and tidy. The pool was lovely, and so were the staff. Especially Elvira who took the time to explain the area, and showed us the best spots to eat and explore. The team were very quick to help organise our tours at an affordable price and help sought drivers to aid us when getting to hard to reach areas.
