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.).

AustraliaJoseph Guesthouse is a couple of simple, but comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting by the river. Billy was so friendly and a lot of fun. We stayed with our two teens, and it was so rainy we couldn't see Kelimutu that day. Billy offered for them the opportunity to paint a mural on his wall. It was such a wonderful experience! We can't wait to come back and totally recommend if you want a simple but comfortable stay that supports a local tourism business. 5th

DenmarkGreat location just outside of the “city”, so you wont have scooters and cars making noise during the night, just the sounds of nature. Benny, the guy in charge, is absolutely amazing. Always happy to help, and always there to greet you with a smile. Made my stay super comfortable.

GermanyWe had a short but very good stay in Joseph's guesthouse! It was the most beautiful room we stayed in on our three-week trip through Flores: very modern, clean, large bathroom and an area to relax sitting outside. The host was very nice and helpful. We would love to come back at any time!

NetherlandsWater pressure is, like almost everywhere in Flores, on the weak side.
Room was a good size, clean, and has a beautiful view on the garden, and you hear the calming sound of the river. Enough outlets and a bedside light that actually worked. Billy, the owner, is a very nice relaxed guy and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time in Moni/Kelimutu.

United KingdomI enjoyed the fact that it was on the main highway to Maumere. A drop of from the bus directly to the home stay. I was sick and the fact that I couldn’t enjoy the surroundings and made it to the river bellow was a shame but I’ll be back. Feeling stronger and held by a loving community of kind people.

Excellent place to stay, beautiful view from the terrace on ricefields and river! The room is so nice furnished and even a plant in the room, light and a small table next to the bed, Mosquitonet, spacious bathroom with hot shower! Only one kilometer to town, flat walk through rice fields. A small shop is nearby.... The breakfast with egg, bread and fruits was very delicious! Billy is very friendly and helpful, he organised a driver for Kalimutu and helped me getting a transport to Maumere. Loved the view from the room and terrace! It's at the main road but stairs down, so you don't have much noise from the road.

United KingdomThe guesthouse is about a 15 minute walk from the ‘main’ part of Moni, just up the road. This was fine for us but something to bear in mind. There wasn’t any wifi either, but nowhere in Moni has wifi 😊
The room was basic but clean and perfect for two nights. The owner was really friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and helping us organise transport. For the price the room is great value for money.

ALL. It locates in Moni, the best spot to go to Kelimutu to see sunrise. The host, Billy was amazing, he was so helpful and managed everything well. He helped to get a ride to Kelimutu and also the travel to go back to Ende. The room was comfy and huge, I love the fresh smell linen that made me slept really well. The place was near to small river so you can hear the soft stream in the night, so peaceful. The breakfast was simple yet so tasty, with generous portion of coffee! Love it so much. I def recommend this place if you wanna have a comfy stay at Moni.

ItalyThe bathroom could be improved, but it is still well kept and very clean. Breakfast is simple but nonetheless made with care by Billy.
Billy is really a great person, always ready to help you and make suggestions. He also helped us a lot in organizing excursions and pick-ups, at really honest prices. The place is simple and humble, but very clean and comfortable. The location is strategic because it is slightly outside the center of Moni, but you can reach it on foot with a nice walk on a road in the middle of the rice fields.
