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.).

JapanNot that I didnt like… but have to request for toiletries on our 2nd day. Though they are accomodating enough to provide what we needed.
Its location and distance to Shirahama beach was not far… good walking distance. The sea view from their balcony and dining is breathtaking while having breakfast or even at night.

JapanThe pillows are flat but you can ask for supplementary ones. Not much else to complain about
We stayed at Gardenvilla Shirahama for 2 nights and it was overall a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The property is easy to reach by bus or private car from Izukyu-Shimoda station, and the owners can arrange transportation to and from the station as well. The property is in a scenic location, conveniently just a few minutes walk away from Shirahama beach. Our room was a "non view" one, and although it was a little "old fashioned" and the bathroom was just a business hotel type, everything was clean and functional. You're not supposed to spend too much time in your room anyway, with so much gorgeous nature and perfect beaches outside! The open baths were both very nice, with a gorgeous scenic view. There's a small but nice swimming pool that is ideal for kids. The breakfast/restaurant ares serves also as relaxing area with free drinks 24/24. The breakfast was very satisfying, all ingredients were fresh and well cooked...the small but excellent pancakes were definitely the highlight. There are a few other restaurants in the area but we only tried the BBQ at the property restaurant, which was nothing to write home about but it was ok. The owners are lovely people and really make an excellent job in helping guests relax and enjoy their holidays.

United StatesI found the mattress to be pretty firm and not super comfortable, but it may be just fine for local tourists. I'm just used to American hotel beds.
The staff was VERY friendly, attentive, and spoke excellent English! I enjoyed the poolside bar in the evenings & the breakfast....oh my goodness was it amazing!!! I would HIGHLY recommend paying the extra for daily breakfast! It was delicious, healthy, filling, and definitely worth the minimal cost! The open-air onsen was also lovely, so I'd also recommend that people schedule that into their plans!

United StatesWe stayed at the villa. I wish we could have included breakfast in the cost. They told us only if we stay in the hotel part.
Everything!! It was perfect for our family and a few friends. Easy walk to the beach. The staff were awesome!

JapanThe hotel was under renovation and this was not indicated to us at the time of booking, then the terrace was unusable. When we returned one evening at 10 p.m., the hotel was closed, we had to wait a very long time for someone to open us (after trying to phone, ring, etc.)
The hotel is very pleasant and quiet, the view is magnificent and the breakfast perfect. The outdoor bath offers a delicious moment. The staff are friendly.
