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.).

AustraliaOne staff member on the front desk wasn't very helpful, but a colleague politely stepped in and helped sort out our query. Although, could have been a language problem.
Most of the staff were very good, friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on the river and in a great position. Although when in your room sitting down, you cannot see the river. The onsen was really nice, clean and presented in the traditional way.

BelgiumThe staff was great ; however on our last day we were denied access to the onsen before taking our shuttle to the station. We found this a pity.
Perfect location for a short stay, close to the old town, many restaurants and the morning market. Beautiful clean room with view on the river. The onsen on the last floor is fantastic and there is a more traditional and beautiful onsen for women. Delicious breakfast.

South KoreaThey may serve a better American breakfast. I understand people staying at their facility expect to be served a Japanese-stayle meal for their breakfast. But, some people may want to be served an American one.
The room was a bit smaller than I expected. But it was clean. The meals were excellent. One of my colleagues was served an American breakfast, which was not good, though. Only a piece of bread and a cup of milk were served. Nonetheless, it was excellent. The public bath is a bit small.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a free shuttle to the station and they served us tea everyday. They also provided a few japanese traditional outfits to wear around town and to the onsens. The views from the room were amazing and its location was great. Very close to the morning market and key sights

SingaporeThe shower curtain was a little mouldy.
The staff are extremely friendly (and can speak English). You're treated extremely well from the moment you check in. The Kaiseki meals were absolutely out of this world and we were looking forward to each dinner throughout the whole stay. Facilities include an indoor and outdoor onsen (only for men) which were amazing as well. Additionally, the hotel is located really near the Takayama morning markets and Old Town (literally outside your window). Couldn't be more impressed!
