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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel has very big rooms with all needed amenities you will need (bathroom and toilet are separated). The location is great, just a short walk from Kagoshima-chuo station and the arcades in the city center. I had a very good stay here and would stay in the FAV hotel again when coming back to Kagoshima.

AustraliaInitially, we found the room key arrangement challenging (there is no key—one gets into one's room by way of a code for your room). Unless specifically requested, there is no room service. I am not suggesting that these were matters that we did not like; instead, they differed from the norm, and we had to familiarise ourselves with the arrangement.
The accommodation was up to standard, and the service staff were helpful. It was different than anticipated, and once we got into the swing of things, we found it easy to navigate, and the cost savings in how things were run were to our benefit. The beds were exceptionally comfortable.

FranceCurtains too short to prevent early sunlight Lots of LED lights on switches etc litting up at night, Plan to cover them up before going to bed, especially the one of the bedhead. Frisge should be compressor less as this wakes up tenants when compressor starts at night
Room offers washing machine / dryer as well as a mini kitchen sufficiently equipped with microwave and half size fridge to reasonable meal cooking. Plenty of space

CanadaRooms were a bit small but that's expected from a Japanese hotel room. The light under the bed was a bit bright at night.
The hotel was like new and had a washing machine/dryer in the room. The beds were big and the futon was more padded than other futons I had tried. They provide luggage storage for when you arrive too early and check out too early.

GreeceWe spent four nights at Fav Kagoshima. Location was excellent, a calm residential neighborhood with plenty of parking spaces around the hotel. It only takes 10-15 minutes to get to Tenmonkan area by foot. The room was spacious, modern and very clean, with a washing machine and a small kitchenette with a great view of the city and the volcano. Check in was fast and efficient, breakfast was delicious and the staff was incredibly helpful in making reservations at restaurants and answering our questions.

AustraliaThere was nothing we could possibly think of.
Very new, exceptionally well appointed and spotlessly clean. We had everything we could possibly want. The staff were absolutely amazing. They were so incredibly helpful. We wanted to book the Samurai Experience at Sengan-En, but could do it online, as there were issues with the translated pages. We requested assistance, and staff went out of their way to coordinate bookings for us. It was a group present for wedding anniversary, as well as three birthdays in close proximity. This raised our trip from great, to truly spectacular. Thank you so much.

SingaporeWe drove and had to park at 5-10mins walk away from the hotel's affiliate car park. It's not too bad but it's challenging when it rains and you need to walk back to hotel.
My kids really enjoyed the breakfast spread - it's a pity this will be discontinued for 2024. Location was so good, just 10mins walk from Kagoshima station and eateries. Front staff recommended a good local shabu shabu place, which turned out to be one of our favourite meals of our trip.

AustraliaThere was a lot of light in the room due to various devices, including lights to light up the switches themselves. It was difficult to sleep for this reason, as I need a dark room to sleep well.
Great location - it was a short tram ride away from the main station. Loved the breakfast (although they has a sign saying that from 2024 they were getting rid of the breakfast.)

First, the room was the largest we’ve had so far in Japan. It was spacious, super comfortable, had a great view of Sakurajima and even had a washer/dryer which was appreciated. The staff was super helpful securing parking (note: reserve in advance as parking on site is limited) and with the complimentary breakfast (which was also lovely). Finally, it’s location was convenient: about a 10-minute walk to the train station and It was around the corner from our favorite izikaya, Gaoryu, where we ate twice because the seafood and sashimi is amazing as is their speciality fried daikon (yum!) and fried pork plus the owner “Mother” and her son make the place fun.
