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.).

Hong KongBut food isn’t of five star level matching the view. With many young staffs, not all so well trained, still room to improve

United StatesPrice was a bit expensive, probably would have been more worth it if we had stayed longer and got to explore more.
Only stayed one night so my friend and I didn't get to explore too much, but it was a great stay! My friend really enjoyed the open air bath, and it was also nice to have the private one in our room. We also enjoyed the garden and the great view of the trees in the morning. We didn't choose the dinner option so had to find food elsewhere - while there's a few food options connected to the premises, a lot of them were closed the day we were there. We ended up eating at the yakiniku place, which was fine (not much meat per plate, you grilled it yourself, prices just okay). The breakfast buffet was delicious! Had a really tasty onsen egg, fish roe, oden, etc. Travel wise - we walked on our way there from the subway, then on our way out used the bus stop right outside the connected yunessun, which had information about bus stops and timing, and were able to get to where we needed (Odawara).

Netherlandslack of reasonably priced dining options. in our opinion dinner services are very much overpriced (16k and 9k pp), noise from outside (not sure what, probably swimming pool across the street? some machinery?) that prevents full leasure and relax when on the balcony
Onsen facilities, breakfast, kind service, location with a perfect view from a balcony, easy bus access, shuttle bus service, fast check-in and out, icecream coins, hotel garden, birthday gift!

One of the best locations I've ever stayed at. Best staff I've ever seen. Very helpful, polite and professional. The location is just extraordinary too. especially the private onsen overlooking green hills. Can't ask for a better location and a better hotel. Cleanliness is also impeccable. Floors, toilets, bathrooms are all very clean. Great experience overall that'll cherish for ever.

IsraelLocation is a bit tricky, since in a place like Hakone if you travel with the Hakone pass and the buses, the bus stop is a bit far from the hotel main entrance, so on first arrival with the bags it was not so comfortable. Since the hotel do offers a shuttle bus from the train station, I recommend you request the shuttle bus schedule in advance so you synchronize your arrival with it.
For dinner we requested no seafood and they customized all the courses to our liking. you could feel the effort and we highly appreciate it. For breakfast you have various options - western and Japanese, we loved it. Room was well equipped and you get various sizes and options for the traditional Yokatas clothings. Cleanliness wise - all in Japanese standards and it's the best you can get.

FinlandIt is a large and newish hotel, so not really a traditional ryokan/ onsen experience. Also kaiseki dinner, while good, is a bit rushy and noisy, with last dishes served from a buffet. Still, for people new to Japanese culture this might be a better alternative than a small, traditional ryokan.
Very nice onsens. Breakfast with lots of alternatives. Frendly staff. You will get a special experience snd it is a good hotel.

IsraelThe only issue we had is that the hotel is a little distant from the town so we had to use a bus or the shuttle to get there, and both end early so we couldn’t go out to eat in the town in the evening
Great hotel! We had a great time. The room was large and clean with comfy beds and the onsen bath in the balcony was great. The hotel itself is really nice and is located in a beautiful area. The staff was very kind and helpful

United Arab EmiratesNothing to report. The stay was really excellent.
This hotel really exceeded our expectations. The service is exceptional and the staff is very welcoming and accommodating. They even helped us send our luggage directly to Kyoto which was our next destination. The onsen on our balcony was exquisite, and the outdoor foot onsen with the view of the mountains was a delight. Totally recommend.

United KingdomWe arrived via the family / swimming pool block which was confusing & unimpressive. There are no reading lights in the bedroom. Confusing choice of dinner menu & some items on the buffet are restricted - to tour guests. Failure to tidy up the tables in the evening session. Poor publicity ref dining facilities. Unable to purchase hotel bath products or clothes provided in bedrooms.
Breakfast was good with a wide choice on offer. There was pressure of numbers but prompt restocking of empty trays. We discovered the suchi restaurant for lunch in the complex next door for lunch which is really impressive. The bathtub on the balcony was a really nice touch. The array of bathroom products was good. Lovely views over the valley & mountains.

ThailandToo many noisy customers and they don’t seem to read the information pamphlet about the hotel and how to use onsen. They don’t shower before getting in the onsen and talked very loud. A bit annoying.
The property is well maintained and beautiful landscaping. The onsen facility is just great with beautiful views.
