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.).

SingaporePrivate indoor onsen was too hot. Not a big issue because there is also a private outdoor onsen.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I could use the messaging function in Booking.com to communicate with their staff when we would reach Hita station so that they could fetch us to the hotel. The dinner and breakfast were delicious that we finished everything, which is a feat by itself because there were a lot of food items.

United StatesThere wasn't necessarily anything wrong: it's in a historical location and things were built around it. The river (at the time we went) was dry and not super scenic. If you walk outside beyond the gardens there's the backdrop of a lumber yard or a Sapporo beer brewery. Not super scenic once you're outside of the actual facilities. For a one-night stay though it was great.
Hatago Kayausagi is nestled in the suburbs of Hita, Oita surrounded by small family farms and likely century-old homes. The team was communicative throughout the stay, starting from when we booked the reservation through this platform. English skill wasn't necessarily the strongest but they get by and make a good effort. We were picked up by car directly from the Hita Station - having taken the bus (roughly two hours) from Fukuoka Station. Meal was top-class. Absolutely amazing experience throughout from the service all the way to the drinks and the like. If you speak Japanese you are able to partake in this Kyushu hospitality - friendly, warm, open but still very polite.

JapanThe larger bed was a bit too squeaky for 2 people. But the smaller bed was enough in size. At night the bedroom was too dry, had a sore throat in the morning. A humidifier would have been great.
Nice pickup service from Hita Tourist Center. Room and cuisine is needless to say perfect. Both outdoor/indoor onsen were awesome.

AustraliaI liked everything and recommend this ryokan. Hita is a quiet town. I loved it but acknowledge some like to have more to do during the day.
The friendly staff. The service and hospitality from the team at Hatago Kayausagi was exceptional. I will remember this stay for the rest of my life and am very grateful for their efforts. The atmosphere. Our room was very peaceful and the private outdoor onsen was fantastic. The meals were delicious and epic. The staff speak just enough English, and were very patient with my poor Japanese.

JapanI wish the lightings in the room were warmer. Also the dinner course was a little too much in total amount of food for one meal, every dish was so delicious but I felt too full towards the end to enjoy every bite.
the onsen was very hot and the atmosphere was wonderful.

JapanWe would have liked to have had access to a mixed bath facility at the ryokan. While private baths (indoor and outdoor rotenburo) are available for guests staying at the ryokan's maisonettes and villas, they are not available for use by those staying in a room in the main building; such guests wishing to enjoy mixed bathing need to walk about five minutes up the road to use a family bath at the Kotohira Onsen, (whose baths, unlike those of the ryokan, are scaldingly hot).
Everything about this stay exceeded my expectations, from the welcome and ryokan tour conducted by the proprietors, through to the beautiful and comfortable surrounds (grounds, buildings - main, baths, gift shop/reading room - and room) and exquisite Kaiseki dinners and breakfasts. Service was friendly, helpful and focussed on accommodating guests' needs. The attention to detail in the gardens and buildings - dating from the Taisho era and furnished accordingly - was outstanding; every room had so many points of beauty and interest yet nothing was overdone. The location of our room next to the river meant provided a wonderful, relaxing soundscape and even a view of the fireworks in nearby Hita City on the first night of our stay.

AustraliaI wouldn’t say it’s bad, it is out of the way from the train station but they have a courtesy van to pick you up. We wanted to see the city so they picked our bags up and then came back 2 hours later to pick us up and take us to the resort. Wonderful survive!!
This place is incredible!! The atmosphere, serenity, tranquility and scenery is amazing! It’s like being sent back in time with how traditional this resort is. The rooms and Onsen were just wonderful especially if you’re looking for that private experience. My partner and I heavily tattooed and wanted something special since we’ve never experienced anything like this. This place didn’t disappoint.
