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 KongNo cleaning product is provided in the kitchen.
The staffs are very polite & helpful.The room is very spacious with a kitchen,but limited cooking utensils are provided on request. It's close to a nice big supermarket that we can cook simple breakfast and dinner. It's about 15 mins walk from the train station. Should be nice if shuttle service is provided. We enjoyed a relaxing stay there. They generously provide free welcome drinks daily in the afternoon.

Hong KongThe few steps required to get to the lift lobby with heavy luggages.
The hotel has an inner garden beside the dining hall and the reception desk. The room is spacious and clean though the pillows were not comfortable. The hotel has a public onsen, I like it very much. The hotel is very convenient, it’s just a minute walk to McDonald’s and a supermarket. However it is a bit far from the JR station. We took the bus to Harunire Terrace by walking to another bus station which took us 7 minutes only. Overall the stay was very good.

JapanThe hotel has an airy atmosphere with a great reception hall that looks out over an inner garden, and with large guestrooms. The location is in a tree-lined (and villa-lined) street that leads up to the park and the old Karuizawa centre, which can be walked to or you rent a bike from the hotel. Karuizawa is an odd place to go for Europeans like me, as it tries to give off this German/Swiss feel and that’s not what you expect from going to Japan. But the nature is beautiful (next to the Japanese ‘Alps’), and I assume that skiing could be very good here. The Modern Room I had booked was more like an apartment, with a kichenette, seating space, desk and bar-seating and could easily sleep a family with 2 young children. The public bath was amazing, and it offered wooden outdoor baths, which are not seen often in these kind of places. The hotel is slightly outdated if you compare it to the newest hotels around, but I thought it added to the atmosphere of a bit of ‘grandeur’ - add to that free drinks in the afternoon (delicious smoothies, teas, and wine over the weekend) and very nice staff, and you can definitely expect to have a good time here.

Hong KongIt’s kinda far from the central area by foot and lack of public transport options. It would be better if free shuttle bus to the train station can be provided.
Spacious room. Although it’s kinda far from the central area, it’s just a ¥700 3 minute taxi ride away from the train station, making it convenient still.

SingaporeEnquired about how we can get to Prince Ski resort and was told to take a taxi , checked with the hotel staff what are the available options to get back from the ski resort and was told only via taxi as well. Infact, the ski resort itself provide free shuttle bus to the JR station and we managed to hop on it to the outlet .
The hotel is clean and love the family room that we have booked. Location is about 15mins walk from the JR station . it will better if the hotel can arrange free shuttle to & fro from the JR station.
