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.).

Hong KongThere’s nothing that I can pick on. ;)
The interior of this guest house is immaculately decorated and perfectly located. It is close to the beach, and the famous French restaurant(the Sakakura) is just right next door. Couple of tourist attractions are within walking distance. Shirahama no Yado Daigo is a perfect choice for you if you’re planning a trip to Shirahama.

AustraliaCan’t find a fault for the price and the amount of details and effort, so no complains.
The customer service was top notch, and regardless of the language barrier they were patient and super attentive to my needs. Breakfast was included, traditional and tasty, for the price you pay is really a steal. Shirahama as a whole is the perfect location to stay for Nachi Fall day trip as well as into Wakayama on the way back to Osaka.

CanadaThe hostess (who's also the owner) was a very nice and friendly person. Breakfast was complimentary and the hostess even made breakfast by herself to guests every morning and it was delicious! The room is equipped with tatami floor and was super clean. There was no bed but instead futon was provided and you need to set it up by yourself at night which was interesting. It was a special experience to get a chance to sleep in a Japanese futon. If you don't know how to set it up they will help you too. The bathroom is big and equipments were new. The hotel is within 5 minutes walk to the beach. It's also close to a bus stop which takes you to surrounding sightseeing places. There are convenient store and supermarket within walking distance and you can buy fireworks there to play at the beach at night. If we come back to Shirahama in the future we will choose to stay here again.

United KingdomWe stayed here before the Kumano Kodo walk as we booked the accommodation late and there was nothing in Tanabe. The express bus which runs the whole route actually starts a 5 minute walk away from here in the morning so it was really handy for that. The hotel was very nice - the lady looked after our luggage while we were on the trip and even upgraded our room for free when we got back to one of the big tatame rooms on the top floor (they’re lovely!) The owner is Chinese and it seemed to be a Chinese breakfast rather than the Japanese food we’d eaten elsewhere (which made for an interesting change). Shirahama itself probably isn’t somewhere I’d rush back to but the hotel was nice and for us this was a good option.

United StatesThe room is big and clean, it has both western style king size bed and Japanese style Tatami. The hotel is really new and super clean. Location is right across the street to beach. The owner was really really nice and helpful. We forget to check the bus schedule and was stuck at the Adventure world. When we messaged the owner, she helped us find a car to pick us up. She was also helpful to help us find the train schedule and transfer bus for the next day. Overall, we are super impressed by both the hotel itself and the owner. Will come back and for sure will recommend to my friends.

Hong KongI cannot think of anything that I don't like.
The owner was very hospitable, super nice and kind. The place was cozy, beautiful and quiet, just steps away to the Shirahara Beach. There are are few restaurants and a big supermarket nearby. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious and was just right for the morning. The underground carpark at the property was very useful. A good value for money!

GermanyThe accommodation is very beautiful and inviting. Once you step inside, you’ll be greeted warm nicely from the stuff and get your keycard to check in. You will be asked each morning when you would like to eat breakfast so they can cook you fresh meals every day. Each days breakfast is different and gives you a healthy start into the day. Besides the meal you can drink tea, juice or coffee. The room is traditionally styled with a modern shower and a little extra tea corner. As the whole hotel, the room is very clean and tidy. You will find anything you need right away. Because the accommodation is 2 minutes max away from the beach and restaurants you will have a grate stay at this place. All in all I had a very nice experience at the hotel and would recommend it highly. The stuff was very friendly and the food was every day a positive surprise and well done.
