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.).

The location is very near tenmonjin and the shopping areas which is very convenient. Also the facilities such as the steam cupboard is especially great for use after meals to rid of the meat smells.

DenmarkPerfect stay for us. Easy to store lugage before check in. Had a problem with my check-in, so staff was automatically called, and helped us very fast. Room was a very nice size, and felt newer and cleaner than other hotels we’ve stated at in Japan. Had ameneties available in the lounge, Which is Also a Big plus. Would stay there again, if we were going to Kagoshima!

SingaporeNothing at all!
Seamless check in by the animated dinosaur which was so cute and simple. Step by step guide on the screen with english option and the whole process was less than 5mins. Check out is equally simple by slotting in the room cards. The hot bath is clean and reasonably big. Room is big for Jap standard, at least able to open up my large size luggage fully and lovely scent of the toiletries. Best is that the airport limousine is just less than a min way away on the same side of the hotel, so easy and least effort of getting myself and luggages to the bus stop which charge yen1400 for the single trip. Also love love the in room clothes sanitizer and drying machine, my jackets smelt so fresh and a few pieces dried within a few hours. Last but least, the little details of providing 2 different colored tooth brushes ( one black and one white), make it so easy to differentiate between mine and my hubby.

United StatesThe hotel is conveniently located in Tenmonkan, which has most of the shopping and nightlife in the city. The rooms are clean and a good size. I also like the onsen. The hotel offers a discount for parking at the building next door too.

United States1. The check-in process is a weird, unmanned, nonintuitive process. Some sort of pseudo-shogun image on a screen talks to you but it isn't at all clear what's going on. The automated check-in process won't work unless you type in exactly the name under which you booked the accommodation, but not necessarily in the same word order. You end up knocking on a nearby "employees only" door behind which several people are sitting to try to get some help. 2. I got there early but there wasn't even any consideration of early check-in. 3. Kagoshima as a city is not as interesting as Fukuoka or Nagasaki. The architecture is uninspired and tired.
1. The location is walkable both from the train station and the Sakurajima ferry terminal, though taking the bus from the train station is easy. 2. The city's historical role in the overthrow of the samurai system in the 1800s is interesting.

FranceOne of the 2 check-in machines had a technical issue when I tried to use it so I used the other one. Not much to complain about. Bathroom was a bit small but functionnal.
We spent a very calm night on the 4th floor, we didn't hear any noise. The room was super clean and tidy. There are 3 washing machines. The hotel is 5 min away by car from the ferry station to Yakushima. The parking next door cost us 800yen from 9pm to 7:30am.

SwitzerlandI liked everything
Perfect position in Tenmonkan, a few steps away from the tram stop and the bus to/from the airport. Next to all restaurants and shops and there’s a few convenience stores around. The check-in process is fun and easy. There’s always staff available behind the door, that is always quick to react and very helpful. The room was quite big and comfortable (for 1 person). Clean and comfortable. The mattress is great too and the hotel in general very quiet, so perfect for a good sleep. There’s even a “steam ironing” wardrobe in the room, that irons your clothes!!!! Amazing! I would come back when in Kagoshima!

United StatesFelt very impersonable with no one to really interact with. Check in was unimpressive with the hologram character as I thought it would be more fun and interactive. I was really looking forward to a unique and fun experience w the “robots” which is why we booked this hotel, but it didn’t turn out that way. We found a dirty used face towel tucked behind the shampoo bottles in the bathtub/shower. The “onsen/furo” facility had dirty water with hair and particles floating in the water.
Location was convenient to train station, bus stops

Check in was fun! Loved the interaction with the anime receptionist all done digitally. We did have an issue (our fault typing a name in wrong) with checking in but someone was quick to help us sort it out. The room was a typical size that you would expect but very clean. The bus from the airport stop was only a 4 minute walk from the hotel. Loved all the amenities on offer.
