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.).

United StatesThe room showed signs of age and did not feel like a pampering setting. It was more expensive than other places we stayed in Japan, but am not sure if that is what should be expected for a ryokan experience in Hakone, especially with a private bath.
This ryokan is only steps away from the Hakone-Yumoto train station. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. We had a lovely private bath overlooking the river. Delicious and plentiful breakfast in a private dining room. Liked the robes, shoes and basket provided to take to the public bath.

AustraliaThe bathroom was a little small even by japanese standards. The early mandatory breakfast was fantastic, but as someone who doesn't like big breakfasts, it shocked the system a bit.
The staff was wonderful and accommodating. Location was perfect and near the centre of town and station. Baths were incredible and so relaxing after a long day of walking.

United KingdomThey're not really flexible with the dinner menu. Not a problem for us but something to be aware of if you need vegan, gluten-free etc.
The hotel is very close to the train station, very comfortable when coming from Tokyo as well as taking the train or bus to further explore the area. We stayed in the Japanese style room with breakfast and dinner included. It was a great experience overall, staff were very attentive and the food was good. Be prepared as the portions were big, we couldn't finish everything. We also tried the private bath which has a nice view over the woods. We loved that they had a yukata in your room for you to put on.

CanadaPeople serving food did not speak English and could not explain properly how to eat their food( order and combination)
Excellent location, clean facility and amazing rooms. We booked a room with private onsen on the balcony which we used it every night. We stayed for 3 nights and took breakfast and dinner. We had the meals on a private room served by our own butler. However despite the meal being delicious, breakfast was japanese style( miso soup, fish and rice ) not our style actually. Dinner we found it to be again delicious, but too much for us. If you want to experience this you should book it. Overall an amazing value but that came with the price.

CanadaI wish the open air onsen had better hours for Men.
The location was perfectly close to the train station and right on the river. Lovely to listen to the sound of the river at night. The staff were amazing and friendly and funny even when there was a bit of a language barrier - they made it work and made sure we were comfortable. I could tell they had a lot of experience in hospitality.

Hong KongThe staff who served us for meals and bed preparation. She seemed to be forced to be here to serve us. No smile and she stared us (with no reason) when we met her in the corridor. A big contrast to the other staff that we had met in the hotel (both front desk staff and staff on other floors who are very polite and willing to help us).
Very polite and helpful front desk staff. Delicious sashimi and appetiser for dinner. Meals are good but it would be better if we can choose to have a smaller portion.
