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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

New ZealandOur only issue is very small but will mention it that the water pressure in the shower was not always very strong. There were areas of the bathroom that needed a little bit more attention to cleanliness but very minor.
The property was an oasis of serenity. The staff were exceptional. The breakfast was delicious. We had a room with a view of the Rice field which was perfect and lovely to watch the Farmers going about their daily routine. It was very accessible to the Ubud city but also very close by to excellent restaurants and cafes. We spoke to other well travelled guests who now return to this hotel every year as I hope we will.

Alum Jiwa defines our idea of 'paradise'. A wonderful traditional Bali Ubud property designed by a local artist and architect. This was our second stay at Alum Jiwa... we love it here. Everything is just so nice. Great pool, great breakfast brought to our terrace, wonderful friendly and helpful staff... only about 7 villas surrounded by rice paddies. Good local restaurants nearby so you don't need to go into busy Ubud streets. This is a favorite property. Enjoy. thanks.

AustraliaThe hotel is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The pool area is lovely and relaxing. The location is excellent, as you can walk into the centre of Ubud quite easily and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby if you don’t want to venture far. The staff were absolutely lovely, going out of their way to make our stay perfect.

This was my third stay at this delightful property. This time, I shared a gorgeous, spacious room with my daughter. Amazing views and sunrise over the rice field from the room's balcony with beautiful nature everywhere. Gorgeous swimming pool where we ate the provided afternoon tea every afternoon. Shuttle to available for trips into Ubud but plenty of restaurants near by. Always love staying here and look forward to the breakfast each morning so a return visit is on the cards!

AustraliaThat I only booked 3 x nights.
The staff were extremely helpful. The room was traditional and just what I wanted for my time in Ubud. The location is a short walk to a little village where you can find good restaurants, a few shops and massages. There is a car to take you into the main part of town or you can walk.

FinlandA very beautiful place and set-up. Large, beautiful rooms with pleasant views at lush vegetation, and a terrace with views on a little stream and a rice field. A lot of wildlife can be seen right from the terrace or the windows, including squirrels, kingfishers, doves, munias, sunbirds, egrets, monitor lizards, geckos and flying dracos. Flowers and large butterflies. Spacy bathroom with orchids and a tree inside. Mosquito nets for the bed at night-time. We had beautiful time and will come again one day.

United StatesEmery, everything is just so perfect. The whole hotel was like a beautiful garden that was hidden in the secret jungle flowers blossoms everywhere in the night it was unbelievably quiet. Stuff are just so friendly and helpful. Me and my mom had scheduled a tour seeing dolphins so we had to get up at 4 AM. The stuff of the hotel, surprisingly, prepared to breakfast in box for us, can you believe that? This is a probably the best service we had in Indonesia. Thanks again our friends in Alam Jiwa! I’m looking forward to coming back. In the future. I’m serious.
