Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

We were able to enjoy a tremendous time at Bobocha Siladen. The resort lays perfectly on the beach, the food is exceptional and the staff very friendly and eager to actively support wherever they can. The coral reef directly in front of the resort is optimal for snorkeling and we were able to go scuba diving organized by the resort team - it was absolutely magnificent (and can definitely keep up with the most beautiful dive spots around the world). The whole resort is very well managed with all the attention on making it an unforgettable experience for the customer. Thank you to Lilly and the enitre staff for their passion in hosting us.

United KingdomOverall we were very satisfied but the wifi would now and again turn off in the evening. The meals are all served communal dining style and there were some evenings it would have been nice to sit privately with our family after a long day of diving.
An absolutely unforgettable time was had by our group saying at Bobocha Siladen. The food was of a very high standard and perfect every time and Sarah is a great host who gets the balance of hosting and guest privacy right. The beach feels very private and you can fully switch off and relax and the pool is a nice extra for a morning/evening swim. The rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated and the staff are attentive and have a lovely calm demeanor. During our time in Sulawesi we stayed in other accommodation after Sarah's and we were constantly comparing it and wishing we were back as the food was unrivaled and was such a great place to spend our first week.

GermanyAll well.
It’s a small resort nicely integrated into the small village. The personal care of the whole team around Sarah was a great experience and the food unique and the best we ever had enjoyed. The common meals on the beach are beautiful and you can chat wit the other guests at the dinner. The house riff is also on a very good condition.

A slice of paradise! This was simply one of the best combinations of accommodation and location that I have ever experienced. The hosts, Sarah and Paul, was so welcoming as were the other members of staff. The food provided was of an exceptionally high quality. The chalet was perfect and the coral reef accessed directly from the accommodation was in excellent condition with very healthy coral and a myriad of coral reef fishes. I Definitely hope to return and the not too distant future. If I could give this 100 stars I would!

Cute little resort run by Sarah & team who you will see mentioned in all the reviews for good reason as Sarah takes a lot of pride in this place. Rooms are lovely and airy during the day, beachfronting onto a fantastic reef which is one of the healthiest and fish populated reefs we've seen, especially for a house reef. Food is of top quality and is always presented in style. Day trips to see dolphins, go snorkelling at different sites around Bunaken, all available and organised by the team for you with minimal fuss. 15 mins from the pier which is a 30 min drive from the airport making it pretty accessible to get to such a nice isolated place so quickly. AirCon & Power in the evenings from 530pm-7am which is manageable. One thing to note is that the way the resort operates is largely communal meaning that you will have dinners with everyone else staying at the resort around a large table. I'm not going to put this as a "what you didn't like" though it's worth calling out. We were blessed with the new friends we made there as everyone was lovely and some great chats and bonds were made, though if you want to keep to yourself and not interact with others staying at your resort this is not the place to do it.

AustraliaNo access to coffee before 7am. The towels were stained and needed replacing. Two pillows on the bed per person would have been an improvement instead of just one. Despite the food being excellent, dinner lacked either a dessert or a fruit platter to finish and the offer of tea and coffee. The swimming pool needs a shade cover as the water was hot during the middle of the day. Some umbrellas around the pool would provide a shady area to sit on the lounges provided. Having only one boat, it was a scramble amongst guests to book it for snorkeling as it was used for transfers as well. The salty shower water gets a bit much after a few days. I would equate the resort to a top-end backpackers, not an upmarket resort as the price indicates and is marketed as such. With a few tweaks, it could be amazing and many discomforts such as no power during the day could be overlooked. I feel that for what is offered, it's overpriced.
The location was amazing and the snorkeling on the house reef was wonderful. The food was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast sitting on the beach in the mornings was a highlight.
