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 StatesThe age of the building made the room very drafty and dark and the lobby was over cluttered. The hotel sent us up the hill in the dark to a different hotel for the open air bath as theirs was very small. The onsen itself was nice but not as clean as others. The staff was not very hospitable compared to many of the other ryokans we have stayed at in Kurokawa.
It is an old building right on the river, in a great location for the village and onsens. There was free coffee in the lobby before or after breakfast. We had a corner room with a great view of the river.

SingaporeThe 4 person room with split level is a bit tight. The split level has a very low head room and poor ventilation.
The location is fantastic, just right next to the creek and window opens to the scenery. Hotel itself is quint and full of the nostalgic ryokan feel. Hot springs is great and probably the best we had during our trip.

Everything! I’ve stayed in very expensive ryokans and machias and this lute little places beats them all. The staff was very nice, tbd details in this place… photos won’t do the justice. I have no idea why this place is only rated 3 stars. We stayed second night in the ryokan of 4 stars in the same street and it’s incomparably poor compared to Fujia. I hope one day we come back here and stay longer. Thank you Fujia ❤️❤️❤️❤️

New ZealandThere was nothing to fault. We just wished we could have experienced dinner at the ryokan as well as breakfast because the breakfast was exceptional but unfortunately the ryokan were not able to provide dinner on this date.
Loved the ryokan feel, beautifully organised and decorated, felt totally luxurious. Lovely to look at both on the outside and the inside. Felt very well looked after by the staff.

Situated in a quiet village with ancient Japanese ryokans. Room is great & onsen is good. The room has a roof window which allow us to look at the stars at night in the room. The breakfast is wonderful.

CanadaThis was one of the few places that allowed for solo traveller's. Appreciated the quality of the room itself and the dining experience was different (they have a large dinning room with each room portioned out so you are still private). The outdoor onsen was at another location but I found it refreshing to go out for a walk in the winter to get there and back. The outdoor onsen they gave us access to was also pretty good.

PolandI was expecting the room to be little bigger for this price. Also I though I will have futon, but instead got a western bed.
Everything was perfect and the property met my expectation. The staff were very helpful and kind and the food was amazing! The best experience was definitely my dinner. It was my first time experience and I learned lots of new things and tried many new dishes. It was very fun!

South KoreaI was staying in a room for solo travellers (Biwa room). the room was right next to the reception and was quite basic, a bit smaller than expected - especially the fridge / coffee area is hidden in a small corner where you can’t stand. it doesn’t have a view (it is facing the parking area) and overall feels like a budget room, even though it is not budget at all at 200 euros per night. the worst part is that the room was right in front of a generator which was extremely noisy at night. the overall construction is quite old, so whenever the people in the room above walked around I could hear them very loudly, as if they were in the room. unfortunately I couldn’t sleep at all during the stay, and I suspect also my neighbours were unable to sleep due to the noise. the baths inside the hotel were ok, although I was expecting a slightly more well-maintained area. in the morning the baths were not cold for some reason. overall I would probably not visit this property again as a solo traveller, although it may be nice if you can get a room on the second floor facing the river.
the property is located in the centre of the village, and it is undoubtedly beautiful both outside and inside. it is walking distance from the main places of interest. the baths - especially the open air baths - are very nice and well maintained, although they are at a different property. the food was very nice both at dinner and breakfast!
