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.).

Absolutely everything. Even before the stay, the staff was polite and very helpful with everything, even a last minute change in the number of the group. They wait for you at the entrance, they send you off when you go. The service was impeccable and the food - nothing short of an amazing experience.

United StatesIt is definitely off a beaten path and familiarize yourself with the train and bus system between attempting to stay far away from the Gora station such as this site. I recommended that they have an instruction manual or map on the local train and bus system to help future travelers. I also think they should have a shuttle service picking you up and dropping you off at the Gora station. The current option is only to pick you up from the local bus station. Going from Gora station to the bus station is confusing for new travelers to the area.
The hotel and services as well as the food were all great. The in-room tub was also great size. The public bath was great. There is ample bottles of water and other drinks provided in the fridge to fulfil and they are refilled if you ask for them and the staff seem very eager to please. The manager was very helpful in helping with shuttling us to the nearby train station.

United StatesIndividual room outdoor Onsen tubs should be bigger. One person can’t stretch inside it. Staff had difficulties calling taxis for the guests, which made inconvenient getting around the area.
Liked the experience overall. Carpet in main entrance and common areas of the property is VERY Old and Dirty. Not good for a Spa/Onsen hotel.

United StatesDifficult to get to as it is farther away from the train station. If you take the bus, you get off and they pick you up from the bus stop.
Got the premium suite open air. I took a gamble and spent a bit more believing I would get the bigger private bath. Worth it. I was right! This was a good deal compared to other private open air baths. Also got the breakfast and sukiyaki dinner which was delicious. The staff were very nice.

United StatesWe had 45 min open air onsen and it was located right next to some kind of machine room which was so loud. We couldn’t spend more than 10 min. So loud humming sound ( I think it is a pumping machine) It wasn’t relaxing at all🥵
Excellent and attentive service. Room was impeccable and very spacious. I especially liked the leg massager. Dinner and breakfast were excellent!

United KingdomWe also had access to the private onsen/sauna which we booked a time slot on check in. We also had a small bath on the balcony to use. The room included both dinner and breakfast. The dinner was sukiyaki. Presented really well and tasted amazing. We opted for the Japanese style breakfast, which too was really nice. Omelets, rice and mackerel, amongst other small dishes, pickles, kimchi and tofu etc. The rooms themselves were large, the bathroom too was well equipped with Dyson appliances. There was a calf/foot massage machine in the seating area!

CanadaMy husband is 6’ 3” and did not fit the private on deck Onsen at all. Also, it never quite got hot because the tub itself was very cold and took forever to warm up. Also, the deck Onsen is not actually an Onsen, just hot water open air bar that they add hot spring salts into. We drained to make hot and wish we had more bath salts to add, it was still amazing! Also they need some bigger sandals for bigger footed men.
Staff was waiting outside to great us. We felt exceptionally cared for. Private onsen was superb
