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 KingdomWe found the bed and pillows slightly uncomfortable, which was a minor problem. The swimming pool is decent but rather small, and the breakfast was expensive (2,200 yen), though we didn't try it so can't comment on quality.
The location is brilliant, close to the beach and the aquarium, and good views of the sea. Our room was spacious, the toilet had a bath tub and the staff provided us with more towels when needed. We got the room on a discount so it felt like good value overall.

The location is prefect! Just next to the aquarium with about 10 mins walk Our Hotel room was connected to a small garden and straight to the pool. It’s welcome to play firework on the rooftop And the most impressive part was the “ treasure map game’ that my kid had a lot of fun with.

United StatesThese weren't necessarily a problem for me, but should be listed in the summary. There is no elevator on the grounds so people with disabilities or surgeries be aware, , water bottles are not provided in room (but there is a lawson next door and there is a vending machine on the first floor),, they ask for arrival time on booking.com, but do NOT allow early check-in, check-in only at 3pm
The view from the hotel was beautiful and it was right next to the aquarium. The staff was kind.

United StatesI wish that it was easier to get to our room from the outside. It was in the middle of the main bldg on the 2nd floor. I guess it could be worse though. The main bldg looks nice but is obviously dated—there is a musty smell but it’s bearable.
I loved the proximity to the aquarium & friendliness of the staff. I also like that they had a store & small activities for my kids (7yo & 8yo). We really enjoyed our stay!

United StatesThe free hotel shuttle to other hotel and dining area stops service before 7pm, I think, so if you plan to use it, do so beforehand. Otherwise it is just the convenience store up the street and the restaurant across the street as your only food options. Not even the hotel restaurant is open beyond breakfast. Wish the front desk mentioned they sold discount aquarium tickets during check in. Staff was only moderately helpful in explaining hotel facilities and surrounding area attractions and services. Room wifi is decidedly weak and spotty.
The hotel itself was as close to the Ocean Expo Park and Churaumi Aquarium as physically possible. The Okinawa Airport Shuttle (OAS) bus stop doesn't quite reach the hotel but the YKB888 bus does even though I didn't take it. If taking the OAS, use the bus stop past the hotel (not the aquarium) to save yourself from walking extra. The OAS bus stop is at the entrance to the next hotel and not on the street as Google Map might indicate. Was lucky to get a room on the same level as the lobby (Fl 2) so I didn't have to mess with stairs or elevators but still had an OK view of the ocean. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet.
