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.).

AustraliaKana the host was so lovely and can help with booking onsens and daily activities. She is so caring towards her guests and the hostel is so well looked after. We stayed in the japanese style room and it was so comfy and cosy and it felt very traditional. The shared space downstairs is so lovely in the sun and the free flowing coffee and tea is a bonus. The hostel is also very close to convenience stores and bus stops which makes it very easy to get around.

BelgiumThere was a family with kids occupying most of the dorm, which was a little odd for the remaining guy and myself... Not the responsibility of the management obviously.
Kana is such a good person, she makes everyone feel at home straight ahead. She's the soul of this place. Very comfy dorm and beds.

SpainWe had a private room, but the curtains were not great so the sun would wake you up early in the morning.
The host, Kana-san was the BEST! So helpful with everything, she gave us so much advice on what to do in the area and even planned our itinerary for us! At one point we were waiting at the bus stop and she ran out to suggest a change of plan. She is a very sweet person, very interested in foreign cultures and chatting to us about all sorts.

GermanyIt was really easy to get to know people in this hostel. I booked the single room japanese style but was not cut off from the social gathering happening in the living room. There is free green tea and coffee. But the most amazing aspect was that Kana (Staff member) was helping so much and always tried to think about how she can make our stay better. Even I was there only for a day it really felt like a home thanks to Kana. Thank you so much!

CanadaThe beds weren't the most comfortable, but it's a very small complaint given the rest of the experience.
Kana, the host, was absolutely amazing. She let us check in early, booked us private onsens, helped us make dinner reservations, and gave us all the ins and outs about the area. She helped us navigate the busses and told us where to go to get the perfect view of Mt Fuji. She is such a wonderful host.

United Kingdomthe hostel building itself is a charming old building with lots of character, in an amazing location with transport, restaurants and attractions nearby. What makes this place so special is the host Kana-San. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the Hakone area, and can help you make reservations for restaurants or the nearby onsens as well as give you guides to great nearby hiking spots.

United StatesWe stayed in the private room with private bathroom. The bathroom is a toilet and sink only. If you want to shower, you will have to use the shared showers or, like us, shower at the onsen. Honestly, the shared toilets are nicer than the private one but you have access to both. They have a little shared kitchen you can use and the main front room where you can hang out, eat, read, etc. The host was so super nice and friendly. She will give you tips on places to eat and things to do. She also called and made an onsen reservation for us. The beds on the floor are actually more comfortable than most of the raised beds and mattresses we slept on in japan. Definitely would recommend this hostel.

Our host, Kana, was fantastic. We loved chatting with her and she also helped us plan our time there. She helped book us an onsen within walking distance from the hostel and informed us about closures of the cruise when it was raining. We booked a larger Japanese style room that had a little balcony and it felt quite luxurious for a hostel. Will absolutely stay here again if we go back!
