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.).

GermanyThe lounge area is a bit small and can get a bit cramped with several people. And there is no person from the hostel on site which makes it difficult to ask questions. Check in was a bit complicated
The hostel is clean and a good place to stay to sleep.

Hong KongInside cubicle bed is dark, needs stronger lighting. Has some some lights but I still had to use my phone light inside. Hopefully next time I go back Hide san has fixed this :-)
The owner Hide san is really kind; offered to help with luggage up stairs (it's very narrow so if you have too big heavy luggage might be an issue) and gave heaps of travel advice around the Nagahama area and Biwu lake. He made guests feel welcomed and always ready to have a chat in the small but cozy cafe area! As for the place itself, it is a renovated old house, has that "Japanese" feel and architecture. The corridors are a bit narrow but the dorm room was very spacious. The cubicle was huge! No lockers but since the cubicle was so big, you can lock up your valuables in your bed. Bathroom was small (the standard Japanese size) but very new and clean. Internet was very fast, no kitchen area but have water dispenser and microwave. You can message them to let them know what time you arrive, but it is self checkin, so they will send you instructions on the day. Definitely not a party hostel. But if you want a quiet, clean and comfortable stay; then this place is right for you. Nice place, would have loved to stayed longer!

Austria. there is nothing to say
The place is just beautiful and it was one of my best stays during my trip so far. The host is very friendly, caring and hospitable. I felt very comfortable and at home from the very beginning. In the evenings, when it happens, we enjoyed a little get together with the other guests. The rooms are well organized, spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Each bed has a sliding element that can be locked. The showers and sanitary facilities are also very well maintained and there you find everything you need. The accommodation is in a super location, close to the train station, to the beautiful alleys of Nagahama, restaurants, bars, supermarket and also to the castle. Nagahama in general is a hidden gem. I highly recommend to leave Kyoto or other places to come here for a trip. You definitely won't regret it. Furthermore you can go by train for a day trip to Shizugatake which has very nice view over two lakes. Or rent a bike to ride or just walk along the biwa lake. There are many things to do. I stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect. I will definitely come back. (: Thank you for making it so special.
