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 KongThe in-house onsen is a bit small. There are different onsens in the opposite sister ryokan (bekkan) which guests could access though.
The service is exceptionally good, very impressive. The Kaiseki dinner and the Japanese breakfast are super yummy and have a great variety.

ThailandOn the second day we opted for the Kaiseki sushi dinner which is less exciting thant the first one and we were given sushi pieces with big ligaments/tendon, not sure if that's common there.
One of the best Ryokan experiences in my life. Great service and hospitality. Excellent setting and location, walkable range to the old town. Kaiseki dinner was delicious, especially the Hida beef.

United StatesThe room was circa 1982. The shower felt like it belonged in a prison. The "bed" was a worn out futon. I could feel the floor under me. The entire place is so outdated it's laughable--except we paid close to $300/night.
The food was fantastic at dinner. It was the only thing about this hotel that was good. The onsen facilities were very clinical and the rules too strict to have any interest in using them. Thus, nobody used them.

IrelandOur bathroom was dated, and despite our love of the experience of the place it just wasn't where it needed to be. A little investment in the bathroom would serve them well .not sure about the onsen nothing to compare too ... But again the part we went too felt very public amenities like. ... Again, not saying that's wrong but when paying for the hotel I think it could feel a little more intimate .

United StatesToilet and shower were disappointing, especially the toilet which was quite small. Also, towels we were given for the shower were thin and too small for bath towels. For the price of the room, we expected better quality.
Breakfast overall was okay. A couple of days my eggs were cold and some of the offerings (western) were not appealing to my tastes. However, there were some positives and the servers were terrific. The beds were a challenge for someone who had never experienced a Ryokan before but we adjusted.

NetherlandsThe actual rooms are traditional, but not too comfortable. It’s quite special, but at the price of luxury. The bed is just a matras on the floor, which isn’t even available before 7pm. So there’s no chilling in the room in this hotel.
Very friendly staff and cool traditions from the early days. Breakfast is very nicely organized in cozy rooms.

United KingdomThe hot springs, or one of the ones promoted were outside the main hotel and the room was a bit smaller than I expected and the bathroom a bit less modern.
The staff were great. The service was great. They helped with a lot especially with day trips we went to which was a unesco heritage site. They even went with us to the station to reserve our tickets at their own initiative due to their worry for our language barriers.

SingaporeThe price is definitely not commensurate with the facilities provided. We were thinking of having a western type of room (from website photos) but was given a Ryokan room. Room is very old, comparing to other near by hotels, we are paying 50% more for this hotel for a night.
Breakfast and location are good.
