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.).

TaiwanSince bathroom and restroom are shared, if you would like to go to restroom at late night. You have to wear more clothes because no any heat in the alley to the restroom. Also on the way to restroom is dark, you have to bring cell phone to turn on the light. of Couse, if you are scared of dark, bring someone to go with you.
The meals are fantastic, out of my imagination. Quantity is ok, you don't worry about you are not full and eat something else.

AustraliaNear to major attractions. Owners really good people and treat you as a family. After a long day, homemade Japanese dinner served in the room was A++ quality and in good quantity too. Variety of seafood dishes. On top of that, next day the Japanese breakfast served was even better and unexpected with hot oyster soup, fried salmon, boiled veggies too good, fruits, tea, etc. All in all best home stay i did till date and would come back again in future.

United Statesthe bath (ofuro) closes at 10:30, such that if you come back at curfew (11 pm) [no complaints about curfew itself] the bath is already closed. Would be nice if the bath was open later.
Japanese breakfast was really good. Also enjoyed the old-style ryokan experience of tatami room & futons. (yes, means you walk down the hall for toilet and wash basins).

Comfortable genuine Japanese ryokan inn close to the Daibutsu Giant Buddha and on the city heritage trail. Quiet old world charm. Lovely gracious owner and family who were very attentive. Large traditional room with Koi carp pond outside the window. Very clean shared WC and Onsen facilities. Japanese breakfast served in private dining room was very carefully prepared. The kind owner accommodated our need to leave very early on last day.

TaiwanThere is no electric kettle in the room. You can ask for hot water from the house keeper.
Service is the best. The house keeper helped us with our luggage, prepared indoor sandals for us, put our outdoor shoes into the shoe shelf, the bathroom (on-shen) was prefilled with hot water, bath agent was added and the water temperature was great! Besides, there was tea kit (teapot, teacup and sencha tea leaves)

Hong KongBasically feel contented in the inn. But my room is little far away from the restroom and I need to pass a corridor. It feels a bit cold in the evening when leaving the room to pass the corridor to the restroom~~~
The hotel is located well and very close to the Buddha. The host is very nice and friendly. They help me to put the large luggage in the room. Similar to traditional Japanese inn, a hot tub is equipped in the bath room for your relaxation after shower. The dinner and breakfast from the inn contains various in-season seafood which is very delicious and large size. Recommend to stay there to experience their hospitality if you visit in Takaoka.

My favorite lodging on my trip through Japan. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The Ryokan is very traditional but well kept and modern where it makes sense. The tea in the room was a nice touch. Really enjoyed the bath, especially after long days of going around. Ample dining options nearby but wish i did the meal option as well. Hope to come back soon!!

Staff were friendly and eager to support us. The host spoke English perfectly. We were given a large room facing the koi pond. Very beautiful and peaceful. The location is a great launch-point for day trips to Kanazawa, Toyama, the Noto Peninsula, or Alpine Pass by car.

HungaryThe toilet smelled extremely bad. I know this is an old building but please do something with that for the sake of the guests. Also there is only 1 toilet on each floor, so we had to go around the whole building if we have to use it. But at least we didn't smell it. The whole building needs a deep cleaning. The rooms were very clean, but the sinks and mirrors in the hallway were a bit dirty and there weren't enough light to use the mirror. Also there are cobwebs and thick dust in every corner in the halls. Also a dark courtain would be nice in the room, in case someone doesn't want to wake up to the first lights.
The room was spacious, the futonbeds were comfortable. The building is very nice but quite old and this gives a unique charm. The hosts were extremely helpful.
