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.).

AustraliaNestled in the most serene and peaceful part of Ubud, this villa was a dream come true. The convenience of location paired with the outstanding hospitality of Wayan and his family, who were always just a WhatsApp message away, made our stay exceptional. The villa and the private pool were simply amazing. We were treated to a delicious cooked breakfast every morning, and the option to have fresh Babi Guling and other Balinese delicacies in the evening was a delightful surprise. We absolutely loved our experience and are eagerly looking forward to returning. A heartfelt thank you to Wayan and family for making our stay unforgettable!

AustraliaIf I were nitpicking, I would say that the pillows were a bit bulky to my liking, but that's just personal preference.
We had such a wonderful time. The villa is beautiful, especially the garden and private pool which made us feel like we were in our own paradise! The breakfasts each morning were super delicious and we loved the location, being a short stroll to plenty of great places to eat and a 20 min walk into the centre (or a short taxi ride) but away from where it's very busy and noisy. Best of all was the family who own these two villas, they who were so kind and friendly and hospitable, they really went above and beyond for us and made as feel at home! We would definitely come back!

United StatesWe simply cannot say enough good things about our stay at Pondok Sawah Asri. From the warmest of welcomes, to all the assistance that the family provided during our stay, as well as all they taught us about Balinesian culture, we felt very well taken care of and wish we had been able to stay even longer. The villa itself is lovely and perfectly designed for two people. The pool is beautiful and refreshing, and the garden is green and lush. It really is like staying in a private paradise surrounded by nature. Breakfast is delicious, prepared fresh every morning, and we even indulged in floating breakfast. Wayan (the son) helped us to set up a private tour with his uncle Didi, to the destinations of our choosing, which worked out perfectly for us and was very enjoyable. If you are looking for the perfect, peaceful place to stay in Ubud, with friendly and helpful hosts, this is the place. We can't wait to go back!

United KingdomNo coffee or tea available, had to wait for it to be served at breakfast
Clean, comfortable & close to local bars and restaurants but only a 20min walk into the main area. We stayed 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, Wayan and his family were the perfect hosts from greeting us on arrival to cooking daily breakfast at the villa (like a personal chef!) Nothing was too much trouble & we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Outstanding hospitality and service provided by Asri and her son Raditya (jr Wayan). We loved the stay, wish we could stay a bit longer. The breakfast was amazing. The villa and the private pool were clean. Restaurants were just around the corner. We loved the walk through the ally way. What we loved the most was the service provided by Raditya, he was just a WhatsApp message away, quick to answer all our questions, so humble and willing to go above and beyond to assist. We would definately come back again.

AustraliaNothing - we enjoyed the fact that it is located a short walk or scooter ride to the main road.
Our host family were so friendly, accommodating, and welcoming - we enjoyed the privacy, and the location of this cute villa which is a short scooter ride to the main road. The walk to the main road is also very enjoyable with several locally owned shops, restaurants, cafes and spas along the walkway. Wayan makes the most delicious breakfast! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and most definitely recommend :)

Romania- i did not like the bathroom door because it was made of foggy glass which made the room too bright in the morning (we travelled with a baby) but if you don’t mind that’s ok
- location was nice, you can see a different part of Bali, even if it’s far from the center (you can always order something on Grab) - super friendly staff (they were so helpful with everything we needed) - nice pool - big, spacious villa

AustraliaWe weren’t able to watch TV but that was due to a technical issue that I believe was all over Bali and not the owners fault. It was actually nice to have a break from it though! Being very picky here but the main door had a gap in it unless it was locked and it would’ve been nice to have more room on the bathroom basin for toiletries etc., though we made do quite easily. Perhaps a small table next to the basin could fix this? The bathroom can also get quite humid and hot but this wasn’t really an issue as the main room was well air-conditioned.
I liked how tucked away it was yet it was only a 20-30 minute walk into Ubud centre. The Villa isn’t accessible by car but the walk to the road is only about 5-10 minutes and the walk itself is nice, surrounded by lots of beautiful restaurants, cafes and small shops. The owners met us at the carpark and brought us and our luggage to the villa via motorbikes. The breakfast was delicious, Wayan makes the best banana pancakes! There is a restaurant close by that delivers food to the door, very good selection of food including vegetarian - a lot of the nearby restaurants cater to vegetarian which was a nice surprise for me. The garden and pool area is absolutely beautiful. I think it was great value for money considering the size of the property, the wonderful maintenance and service from the owners and the location.

The villa is truly private, and the hosts went above and beyond. Never we have experienced such hospitality, and everything we asked for was fulfilled with a smiling face. Location is good, breakfast was varied, the private pool was clean and big enough for swimming and the bed was comfy. Thank you Wayan, you were great, wishing you all the best.

HungaryWe had the most pleasing experience in the Asri Villa. The accomodation was super cozy, the pool was perfect to cool down after a tiring day and the overall vibe was magical, filled with the sounds of nature. The family members were also always reachable via Whatsapp if we had some request related to any topics (e.g. breakfast, dinner, laundry, etc...). They also helped us on the last to transfer our bags to a nearby parking lot to our taxi. We would definitely come back again.
