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.).

CanadaInitially email communication was misleading , you actually don’t need to request for shuttle fr the San Bandai bus from Osaka. The airport shuttle stops n pickup from there. We stayed 2 nights, no need to book private, the 9Fand B2 baths were great, the interactive Kaiseri dinners were excellent, the breakfast was so good, we skipped lunch both days. Spouse making plans to go back next year. We requested the Japanese style rooms and enjoyed it despite tough getting up fr the floor due to my titanium knees

United KingdomI wasn't told in advance that the outside pool would be closed for all of my stay, even though I asked in advance, and was told it would be open for some of my stay. It was okay though because it seemed to be a pool that is more suited to children, and I used the aqua terrace which is an inside spa with various saunas, jacuzzis, and an outside swimming pool. I liked that they had a lot of options for onsen, pool etc. there was a lot of people staying at this hotel but it never felt crowded.
There was a lot of breakfast options, western and asian so everyone will be happy. The staff were very nice and were patient with my broken Japanese, some do speak basic English too. Staff take your luggage directly to your room once you arrive, which was a nice added bonus you don't get at all hotels. The location is beautiful but accessibility wise just okay, the hotel is on a hill, if you want to explore the area that may be a problem. The options for onsen are extensive, including private ones, and very easy to book and the staff in the spa area are very nice.

United StatesWe were disappointed to find upon check-in that the restaurant was fully booked for dinner for both nights of our stay and that we had to go elsewhere to eat.
Beautiful location and facility. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Shuttle bus to and from town, bus and train stations ran frequently and was very convenient. Private spa room was gorgeous. Many amenities, including robes, pajamas, slippers, high-quality toiletries, and snacks.

Outstanding view with quiet location. Dinner and BF were over my expectation. Steak during dinner was superb condition, we think it deserves Michelin star. We stayed for two nights and they adjusted food for us nicely. My kids also enjoyed their food and could not eat them all. Onsen were also great with many baths to choose from. Room got good space that four of us feels very comfortable.

JapanAs I said, the initial wait was long, but I have only myself to blame, as I booked the room during the Bon holidays, a notoriously busy time in Japan. The hotel could, however, comfortably absorb the large number of guests; we never felt that we were packed in. Even the elevators moved fluidly.
When we came into the hotel (around 2:25), I was surprised that there were so many people crowded around the front desk. It took 20 minutes for a staff member to show us to our room. In retrospect, this was a testimony to the date (the busiest tourist period of the year in Japan) and to the hotel's fame. After this, everything went perfectly. The room was magnificent. The fixtures, such as the shower, and the amenities, were top-rate. The bed was large and comfortable. The refrigerator was well-stocked with complimentary beverages. The grand bath was large and full of various smaller baths, meaning that we could avoid crowding. The pool was expansive and again, easy to use without any issues of crowding. The breakfast was sumptuous; I could have stayed there for hours. While enjoying a vast array of Japanese and Western dishes, we had a spectacular view of the southern section of Arima Onsen and Mt. Takamaruyama in the background. When I returned from a trip to the town at night to buy milk, a staff member rushed to me with a dry towel (I was caught in a flash rainstorm) and helped me dry off. Everything from the charming European coffeemaker to the salubrious iron-laden waters of the hot spring was just right. Both of us agreed that this was an ideal place for a father and daughter to spend an overnight visit in August. We regret only one thing: That we did not book an additional night.
