How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Really not much, we had a great time and a very pleasant stay in Yogya.
Room was basic but comfortable. Location of the hostel was great - a short walk to the main street and close to public transport. Well equipped kitchen and communal area. They have also tried to address all the negative comments prior which is very admirable for a property owner e.g lockers for storage, gated entry for security and clean bathrooms

The location of the hostel is excellent — very close to the Sultan’s Palace and Malioboro. The staff is super friendly and warm. They communicate through WhatsApp and provide all the info you need for a quick and easy check-in. They reply fast too. I checked out early to visit Prambanan and asked if I could leave my backpack for a few hours — they had no problem with it. When I came back, they even let me use the shower and the kitchen. If I ever come back to Jogja, I would definitely stay here again!

No storage space in the room, just four hooks and a hanger. The lads at reception didn’t speak English, but that wasn’t a problem for us—they were friendly.
Simple but great and clean hostel in a good location close to the historic centre. There is a kitchen and a shared bathroom with several showers and hot water, all cleaned regularly. Pleasant common areas, free drinking water available. We felt safe here. Wi-Fi worked without any issues. Our double room was very small, but it had a quiet air conditioner and a fan.

Curtains on the beds would have been good & a larger locker. The kitchen could have had a microwave.
The staff were friendly and very diligent about cleaning the dorms. Extra bonus was a yoga mat in the cool common area that I could use.

This hostel is a little gem in Yogyakarta. It has a very nice lounge/reading area and the whole eco concept is shown on all areas of the hostel. I really liked the architectual style and fit out, which made me feel very rested and comfortable while staying there in March 2025. A big plus is the free online guide to Yogyakarta they put together with all necessary tips, place to go and eat, etc to make sure you get the best out of your stay. They also have a large kitchen and dining area downstairs and free water refill.

A very nice vibe here, they offer private rooms and dorms. Everything was clean, it’s also nearby to Malioboro street where there are shops and restaurants. You can also rent bikes from them directly. The staff were very nice and super helpful - we had some issues figuring out where to get the bus from to our next destination and they helped us contact the right people and get the information for us. Would highly recommend!
