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.).

It was a really pretty house to stay in and it was a good experience being in one of the older houses in japan. The staff were really nice and they helped immediately if you needed help with something. They also just left you to your business as well. It’s in a good location and you can rent a bike from the hotel for extremely cheap (and it pays for all day)

United StatesThe location is a little far from the tourist attractions, so be prepared to take the bus and walk.
This was an amazing place to stay! The rooms were very comfortable and I had the best sleep of my trip. The shared bathroom weren’t a problem because we visited Funaoka Onsen, which was a short walk away. The staff went above and beyond. Despite being slightly hard to get to, it is in a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood.

United KingdomWe arrived somewhat later, and, we struggled to find our way in the dark a little bit. But, I’m sure that was on us, and, it was zero issue the next day.
This place was so charming. You could really feel the heart and soul of it. My daughter was crazy about all the little goldfish details, including the live goldfish. But, her favourite bit had to be the garden! It was stunning and I think she’d have spent all day out there. The room was lovely and the beds very easy to put out. They were toasty and incredibly comfortable, too. All the staff that I interacted with were very friendly, kind and approachable. We didn’t opt for any breakfast, but, a fellow guest did and it looked good.

BelgiumI did not like the breakfast, but not because the food was not good, but because we are not used to the Japanese style breakfast, so perhaps the hosts could offer a "western style" option of breakfast as well.
The traditional rooms are very large, comfortable, bedding is clean and cozy. There is this serene and simple atmosphere that is very relaxing. It is very quiet, a nice little garden, tea and coffee available all the time. What I liked the most: the hosts are very helpful, kind but also very discreet, and the location. I give it a max for the location, although not for the obvious reasons. It is kind of far away from the touristy places, but that is a huge advantage. The area has traditional houses, or more modern ones in the same style, there is a very nice onsen 5 minutes away (Funaoka). It is close to the golden pavilion, Daitoku-ji temple, close to the oldest red-light district in Kyoto (a lot easier to stroll than the more famous one), to the textile center. From here, one can explore Kyoto without the waves of tourists, and can get a better taste of the city. Still well connected to the Kyoto station (by direct bus, the stop is 5 minutes away).

CanadaThe host is very nice. He sat down with us and chatted for a while. Their house is very quiet, and has a nice little Zen garden in the middle. Lots of foreigners have come and stayed at this place during our stay there. If you wanted to experience true Japan living, this would be the place. You get to sleep on tatami mats, have sliding doors and this is quite accessible by multiple bus routes. Highly recommend!!
