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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

GermanyEverything was perfect! Staying at Happy Island Miyako felt like having a second home far from home - and a second family far from home. The whole hostel is designed with so much love to detail, it's awesome! The rooftop is exceptional for viewing sunsets or to just chill in one of the hammocks. The living room is the heart of the house and the perfect place to spend time with other guests and the hosts, every evening you could join and have dinner together. On top of that, everything was always very clean and tidied up. The shower room is very spacious and clean as well. Nothing to complain! Thank you so much for having me, Wakana, Max-san and Happy the cat! An unforgettable experience! I'll return! またきます!

JapanIt wasn’t a problem for me because I used earphones to sleep anyway but you can hear guests in the dormitory snoring through the wall.
The best hostel I’ve stayed in Japan. The owner Max and Wakana the staff were really cool and friendly and Happy-chan the cat is very cute. The hostel has a great atmosphere and the communal areas downstairs and the terrace are relaxing places to hang out. I had the private room with beds and the mattress and pillow are super comfortable.

Happy Island Miyako is one of the best guesthouses we’ve ever stayed! Feels like home and wished to stay longer. Max is indeed one of the best hosts ever, together with Shiori. Our Miyakojima experience is so memorable with these guys! Our bed is comfortable, everything you need is here! free towel rentals, toiletries, water, condiments for cooking and even laundry! We’ve celebrated Max’s 60th birthday and this night is one of the most memorable nights I’ve ever had in my backpacking experience. The host also helped us to rent a car during the busiest days of Obon week. We are truly grateful! Thank you so much, Max and Shiori (and Happy!!) !!! Indeed a wonderful experience. Indeed a ‘Happy Island’ Miyako ^_^

United StatesThe property itself is great location. You can also rent scooter from shops nearby if you want to get around. Just remember that you need a Japanese license or an international license if you are a foreigner. Max is an excellent host. You can ask him anything about Miyako and he will help you out. He helped me find dive shops so I could scuba dive in Miyako. The place is very relaxing and you will feel at home. The other guests where really cool and friendly. I even had hot plate with them.

JapanThe guesthouse is cute and art-sy. The room I was in had a great view and I could open the windows. There were two beds in the room, one was softer and one was more firm so I could choose. There was a friendly community feeling among the guests that was great. It is a short walk from Family Mart, short walk to rent an electric bicycle, etc. Even though it was raining I could use the hammocks and eat outside on the large balcony. I did a sea turtle snorkeling tour with the owner and it was fantastic. The owner, Max-San knew exactly what time of day to go and which part of the beach was best, I could have a wetsuit, snorkeling gear, towels, etc it was great! We saw 7+ turtles and he made photos and video of it for me. I highly recommend the tour. Also of course the cat Happy-chan was so friendly ^_^ I hope to return again.

Japanthere is only one air conditioner in the shared rooms. If you can't sleep in a warm room you might have a hard time when your bed is not close to the air con.
The owner and staff (and the guests during my stay) were super kind and open. Even if your japanese isn't that good, they try to welcome you and make you feel nice during your stay. There is also a really cute black cat.

JapanThe only problem was that the ac in the shared room takes a while to cool the whole place, and it wasn't enough to cool the whole place so I felt a bit warm. But otherwise you pretty much get what you pay for and all facilities
The staff was so friendly, it's a new hotel and you get what you pay for.
