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...).

Amazing Staff, Hostel ran by a very lovely Family with a little daughter... she was great entertainment while I waited in the lobby Rooms are clean and so is the bathroom Scooter Rental is easy available, we even wanted some other scooters, because the ones we had were pretty old... half an hour later we had perfectly fine scooters standing in the parking area... really nice Service The Boss even told us to knock his door, if there is a problem at night. AC in the room and privacy due to the sleep-cabins One of the 2 best hostels I ever had!

The staffs are super friendly and helpful, You can ask anything if you need, you can rent scooters, book snorkeling tours, tickets for the fast boats and tours with a driver at a good price. You can ask for recommendations if you don't know where to visit in Nusa Penida. The hostel facilities were overall nice! Clean and tidy, Room temperature was just nice and beds are comfy with a cozy lighting and chargers. Loved the garden and the terrace. Good Wifi. The location is close to Sampalan port. Many places to eat nearby.

The location was a little difficult to manage as I didn't have a scooter to get around but if you have a scooter it's great. If you don't have a scooter and will be walking, be aware that the hostel is down a track that has barking dogs at night time.
The staff are so lovely and helpful. I didn't have a scooter and they were happy to offer a ride when I needed to be somewhere. They helped to organise a snorkel tour. Facilities are good and the hostel is lovely.

Clean and tidy hostel. Beds are nice and comfy. Big lockers. You can order food from the near by hostel. You can rent a scooter or they help you to get a taxi. We booked a driver for one day and he was also so nice. The owner is just amazing. We got stuck by storm at near by supermarket and asked the owner to order us a taxi, he came to pick us up by himself. Also he drove us to the port when the driver wasn't answering to the phone. He helped with everything we needed. I highly recommend this hostel <3

nothing !
Incredible little hostel in Nusa ! The staff was amazing and went above and beyond for everything for my stay. They arranged an easy rider for me for two days , who was fantastic ( Alit ), picked me up and dropped me off at the port for free , arranged my tickets for the boats , arranged my Snorkling tour and even drove me on the scooter to go pick up a few beers! They have the best beds and they are little capsules so very private ! It was so clean, the bathrooms were spotless and the AC worked great ! Everything they provided was more then a fair price in my opinion! I can’t say enough about my stay it was amazing and The Packer Box made my stay very special Nusa Penida ! Thank you so much !

There were insects everywhere, on my pillow I saw a spider and bugs. I mean it’s understandable that there are bugs but there should be something done about it. I went to stay elsewhere after that and I saw absolutely no bugs there…
Nice place

The whole concept of a capsule hostel is just better for staying in a bedroom with multiple beds. The beds are clean and the capsules are modern with a nice lighting, chargers etc. The whole place was just renewed with a nice garden and terrace; you feel like in a garden at home. The owner is the best and so nice! He helps you with everything and gives you good deals (e.g. motorbike). He even gave me a ride with his scooter to my boat, so i didn‘t have to walk with my heavy backpack and i was in a hurry. Definitely recommend that place!
