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.).

FinlandTraditional Japanese style Ryokan in Gion, close to Higashimaya historic district. So very central location to explore one of the main touristic areas in Kyoto. We had half-board. Two excellent meals. First night fish based in kaiseki style. Second night sukiyaki with plenty of marbled beef. The en-suite in the room had a "mini" version of Japanese onsen-style. Big public japanese onsen-style baths were available in highest floor and at ground floor - they alternated between mens and ladies (morning ground floor men, evening highest floor men, next day morning highest floor men, next evening ground floor men)

SpainThe staff was great! Super friendly and helpful. The dinner included different dishes which were all very good and different from other food we had during our stay in Japan. The same applies for the breakfast. The room is spacious and very clean. I personally loved the futon bed, but this is about personal preferences really.

AustraliaIt was a great experience within the price range - we absolutely enjoyed it.
The staff was great, especially Keiko, who was very helpful and very nice to us. We loved the location as well. Couldn't be better ! We liked the little attentions to details, like the paper crane in the morning, the sweets and also the presents. Very kind and thoughtful. And it was very clean.

United StatesThe baths were clean but unfortunately the rooftop is either male or female, with the other gender on the first floor with no view. The rooftop baths also had a surrounding wall so none of us really got a view. One of our party is larger size and could not fit into the robes provided, even after discussing different options with staff. I’d suggest guests with larger bodies to bring their own.
The staff and food here were wonderful. We had a kaiseki dinner and an absolutely lovely breakfast and both were exquisite. The location was great and the room large enough to fit four of us and our luggage. The staff were kind enough to store our baggage both before and after our stay so that we could further explore Kyoto. The staff were also very responsive to emailed questions. The overall experience was wonderful and highly recommended, especially for the reasonable price.

United StatesWe were in need a laundry services that weren't available. Had to figure out another solution.
The hospitality was top notch. Awesome location in the Gion district. We only stayed one night but it was a key highlight of our trip. We got an exceptional taste of traditional Ryokan.
