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.).

United StatesBathroom smelled like sulfur but it may be typical for the area, being near Ōwakudani.
Good communication with host, easy self check-in/out. I LOVE the location- close to transportation, within walking distance to sightseeing spots, eateries and convenience stores. Very cute place, enough space for our family and provided everything we needed except for washer/dryer. The adorable park up the stairwell was an unexpected bonus, my toddler especially loved it!

We are travelling in Japan with 2 adults and 4 children. This site is in an amazing location and very cool and funky apartment. We loved our stay and the accommodation and location of Hakone was a real highlight and loved by all the family. I would absolutely return to this accommodation again.

IndonesiaBathroom and closet were outdated; it would be better if at least the closet lid to be updated. We found the house was not clean: the cooker hood, kitchen cabinets, and even spider webs on the windows.
Location was superb. And the owner is generous, even allowing us to stow away our luggages while we were strolling along Hakone. The big window facing the lake was amazing; we was hoping to see mount Fuji in the next morning, however the weather was not friendly. Restaurants around the house were closed at 7pm; we managed to find some food in the retail shop nearby. Coffee machine is quite a nice surprise. I did mention that the owner was generous.

SingaporeStill on the projector, it would be better if the instructions could be in English so that we can figure out on the setting. We attempted google translate on the screen but it didn't work out well. Later we managed to establish the connection from our phone through trial and error. We were happy to see the coffee machine in the apartment. Like the projector, the operating instructions was also in Japanese. Please make the English version available. Non-Japanese guests will be happy as they can enjoy their coffee.
This is the first time I came across an accommodation with a projector and screen. It facilitated our discussion on the next day's itinerary as we were on free and easy holiday. Everyone can focus on the screen instead of straining our eyes on each other's phone.

United KingdomSomething to be aware of, because of the style of the property there is not much natural light, so when it is described as a city view it would be more accurate to say no view at all. Also, everything in the area seems to be geared around the tourist circuit so as soon as the boats stop running around 5pm everything closes down, so you need to be prepared for an evening in when it’s raining.
Great location within the Hakone leisure circuit, well served by buses. Room was really good value and swallowed a family of six thanks to good design. Style “garage den turned AirBnB” may not suit some but we loved it. Good standard of interior fixtures and fittings blended with industrial feel.

ItalyPoor repurposing of an existing building. The ceiling was not even painted or covered, showing bare construction material, cables and tubes. The water heater was terribly noisy and started making noises in the morning by itself. Poor light insulation (and NO light cover for one window). No washlet!!! The only place in japan without washlet, only a super old heated toilet seat. The stairs were also bare construction material. Cleaning was sub-par, with rusty kitchen burners and coffee stains. Finally, we even found a toenail on the floor clearly from a previous guest. Considering what we paid, we were not really happy. Maybe if 6 people sleep in the room it starts being decent value.
The location is quite good. In the superior (3rd floor, they only have 3 rooms) there is a wash and dry machine and a Nespresso capsule machine. Sofas are confy and the view is great (if sunny...). The beds in themselves were quite confortable.
