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.).

JapanThe wall paper had started to peel a little. And parking was a small walk away. That’s the only two things. Everything else was great.
I’ve stayed at other hotels in kurashiki before that were around the same price. This one was unbelievably better. The location was amazing the food was delicious the room was huge and well furnished. It wasn’t a luxury hotel but I was blown away. Drastically exceeded my expectations. HUGE value for the price compared to other places in the area.

Very cool hostel with a hipster style. I went off season so it was too quiet and I had the whole dormitory for myself. The breakfast (egg sandwich) with coffe/tea was very good.

Awesome location, breakfast with yoghurt and fresh sandwiches well worth the extra cost. The place itself felt very cool and room had a lot of privacy despite it being a dorm. Strong wifi connection in the room.

United KingdomIt's a funny layout, a bit like a prison, with the central bit being a bit cold though there was a heater available. Quite a small hang out area that was full with a group when I wanted to use it, and it felt like the hostel bar I'd have to buy something in order to sit there. No kitchen, tap or kettle only a microwave and a hot water machine that was sometimes empty. The futon mattress felt very thin, definitely not good for sideways sleepers.
Amazing location, cosy well designed rooms with lots of privacy and space in your "bunk" which was almost a tiny room. Very good showers and bathrooms. Friendly staff. Really nice bar downstairs though it feels separate from the rest of the hostel since you have to go out then in, so it's not like a typical hostel chill out area.

TaiwanMy room was situated quite far from the shared shower rooms and bathrooms. Additionally, the aisles were located in open spaces, making it cold to walk to the shared facilities in winter times.
Hostel&Bar Cuore Kurashiki is an excellent choice for those looking to spend a leisurely day in 倉敷美観地区. Despite being a 15-minute walk from Kurashiki Station, it is very close to 倉敷美観地区. The staff members are friendly and accommodating, even assisting with luggage storage before check-in time. The room provided was spacious and clean, ensuring a comfortable stay.
