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.).

CanadaFelt like visiting a relatives house, the staff were kind and helpful. Everything was clean and comfortable. Location close to a bus stop that takes you right to Amazake tea house if you are doing a loop around Hakone. Highly recommend. Close to an onsen which has a great price.

Cute accommodation, very private rooms and the whole accommodation is quiet and respectful. Enough toilets/showers so you do not have to wait. Staff were very friendly and gave recommendations about things to do in Hakone. Big lockers availale to put your things in.

The staff was very kind and all the facilities were clean. The capsule itself was bigger than we thought and comfortable. You can save a lot of money with sleeping here with the same comfort as in an hotel. The bus station for Lake ashi is a short walk away around the corner. We would definitely recommend this place!

AustraliaWe like the fact that it was a cubicle for two people to sleep in. It was unique, very comfortable and there were also many onsens around. If you need an onsen suitable for tattoos, we recommend Tenzan Onsen, it was a really good experience and in a natural space.

United StatesThis is a great, affordable place in a convenient location for exploring Hakone, but please be mindful that the main rooms and the annex are two VERY different places. Because I booked too close to my trip, I ended up scheduling a nice traditional Japanese tatami room with an individual futon each for me and my 2 friends with a private bathroom and shower the first night in the main building, which we loved! Then I booked us a 2 person space and a 1 person space in the annex for the second night and I would not recommend it unless you’re really comfortable with hostels. It was extremely different from our first night and was basically sleeping in a hot wooden box with a futon inside. On my own, I’d probably have been ok with that for an affordable stay, but my friends didn’t appreciate the sudden drop in quality of accommodations from one night to the next.

All nice and clean. There are discounts for near onsen at the reception. After bath at the onsen we get delicious Japanese food at reasonable price. Staff speak English and they are very helpful.

United KingdomBit high on the price side - this probably due to golden week rather than any issues with the hostel itself. If not young and fit, may be difficult to lug suitcases up hill and then up stairs to apartment - again, not a fault with the hostel itself.
Nice feel about the place. The bar is a nice way to meet other guests. Staff knowledgeable and give good tips for the local area / things to see/do. Apartment good size with good amenities. Bed comfortable and clean. Would recommend.

IrelandThere's a steep uphill on the way from the main street to the hostel which could be a bit challenging if you're walking with heavy luggage
Nice and cosy guesthouse located not too far from the main shopping street near Hakone Yumoto station. Staff were very friendly. We got to experience hot spring in Hakone as the staff provided useful information (price and route) on several hot spring locations. Also the hostel has a small bar which serves food until 9pm, which was nice to have if your day ends late as most restaurant in Hakone closes around 6pm.
