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.).

AustraliaThe room was very close to the street but apart from an ambulance at 3am there were not alot of cars
Kana was an adorable and helpful host who booked us an onsen and gave us a variety of Japanese treats to try. The beds were the most comfortable of our trip and the bathrooms clean. The hostel was located in a handy position to reach Gora or Lake Ashi.

United KingdomSoundproofing is not the best given the age of the property but is nothing major.
The hostel is in a good location and is clean and spacious. The downstairs area has a kitchenette and small lounge section. The best part of the stay was our host Kana-san who was so lovely and helpful throughout the whole stay. She provides a map covering different attractions, restaurants and onsens in the area. She also helped us make reservations at a local restaurant. Definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomClose to a busy road which does create some noise, but this comes with the great location and the hostel owner provides free earplugs.
Excellently situated, transport links via train or bus. Close to two convenience stores and local restaurants. Wonderful host - great recommendations, will make all your reservations and booking for you in Japanese which just makes everything so easy. I cannot emphasise enough how she made the experience!

Kana, the host is an amazing person who looks after all her guests and went far beyond the call of duty to support me through a couple of small crises with nothing but good humour and persistence. The place is old stye Japanese accommodation but warm and inviting and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The beds, while futon , was very comfortable! The wifi works well and there was always plenty of hot water :) I would stay here again in heartbeat. The location was great and provides easy access to short hikes in beautiful surroundings - but also all the tourist attractions. Hakone is a really gorgeous area.

SingaporeThe staff, Kana, is very helpful and initiative. She would suggest places to visit and suggest changes to my planned itinerary (as it was golden week, some places may not be as practical to visit, which makes sense). She recommended nice and interesting restaurants near the places I visited when I shared with her, my itinerary. Thank you, Kana, for making my trip this time a better one.

The hostel is so well kept, clean and beautiful. I felt very comfortable. The dorm beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen and common area are very nice.

SwitzerlandThe screens around the bed don’t block the sunlight and I don’t think there are curtains. Bring eye masks if you are a light sleeper like me.
The kindest person at reception: Kana. I felt so welcome and taken care of. She really takes good care of all her guests. The double bed is a huge plus as this isn’t common and the feel of the hostel is very homey, but also accommodates for everyone to have enough space.

AustraliaThis Q has no relevance for this incredible hostel
Kana is the most amazing and dedicated host I have ever met - and I have travelled a LOT. She goes far beyond the call of duty to help travellers solve the myriad of problems that pop up on the road. I would have been lost without her coming to my rescue!! The hostel is an old building but it is warm and welcoming and the kitchen is amazing, with hot water, tea and coffee always on hand. My room was warm and cosy and the place was SPOTLESS!! Wifi was fast. And Hakone is very expensive in terms of accommodation so this make Hakone Hostel 1914 even more of a find :) It is actually really well situated for engaging in all the amazing activities that the area offers.

SpainHostel with a lot of traditional Japanese charm. The shared room is practical and the beds have a door/curtain, providing some privacy. I want to especially mention Kana, the woman in charge of the hostel, she is lovely and helps you with everything. She recommends routes, excellent restaurants, and onsen. She even checks availability and calls to make a reservation for you. Fantastic! We couldn't have been more comfortable, we regretted only staying for one night.
