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.).

United KingdomAs to be expected from Hyatt this is beautiful hotel with excellent service and facilities. We had a view of the top of Mount Fuji from our room which was really lovely. The room was very spacious and comfortable. I had read a couple of reviews beforehand about getting to the hotel and still thought that me and my husband could get all the way there on public transport as we are both quite fit and we walk a lot. However even we struggled a bit with our suitcases! The roads are very steep around the hotel and many of them don't have proper pavements so I would advise getting a taxi or driving. The hotel arranged a taxi for us to Odawara Station on the way back, which took about 25 mins and wasn't very expensive. We also didn't know that public transport in Hakone seems to stop by 6pm each day, so just be aware of that when making plans for your trip!

AustraliaThe Service post arrival was unhelpful, and we didn't have phone reception. With a child no hotel transfers could be worked out beforehand. We ended up walking up the hill with our bags which was unpleasant. There was no help with public transport options or other directions.
The hotel was nice. Wouldn't say it was tailored towards families. Had issues with the directions and assistance getting to the place.

United StatesOur room was perfect for our family of four-loves the mix of Western and Traditional Japanese. The robes were lovely to lounge around the room in and we enjoyed the room service and buffet breakfast. Staff throughout the hotel were exceptional and language wasn’t too much of a barrier. The Onsen was simple and calming and the locker rooms were super clean and well stocked. Only downside is the location, while serene, is far from activities. We only stayed for one night but I’d staying longer, I think a hotel shuttle to town would be a nice addition. We stayed on the 5th floor and some the carpeting in the hallway was a bit worn and there was some mold in our bathroom (not a huge deal but a simple vent or dehumidifier would solve this issue). The architecture throughout the building is stellar and there are a lot of nice details. We loved our welcome drinks and the baby-friendly cribs and diaper pails. The breakfast buffet was so good-the first perfectly cooked bacon and scrambled eggs we had in Japan. All in all a nice stay and we look forward to returning!

United KingdomIt is a shame there isnt a gym or that the Onsen (which was lovely) - didn’t have a sauna / cold plunge pool / outside Onsen area … I feel for the quality of the hotel a bit more could be made of this area.
All the food was lovely. The rooms spacious and beds very comfy. Service was excellent. Happy hour in the very welcoming lounge with open fire. The complementary shuttle is also useful.

United StatesShuttle service to town should be extended to 7:30pm. It's a dangerous walk for guests if they go for dinner, and taxis are not readily available.

United StatesHowever, when you need call the shuttle to pick you up in town, you literally have to call. No texts or Whats App. It can get expensive. Also, the onsen needs revitalized. There are for obvious reasons mold and mildew.
This is a nice relaxing hotel with a good location.

Hong KongThe service around the fireplace and living room could be improved, the staff is nice, but very slow and disorganised in their service approach. The second thing that should be improved is catering for allergies! We had to get into an argument with multiple waiters and their manager as the cook could only provide a club sandwich, out of a sizable menu, for a person with a garlic allergy. This was very poor and is not acceptable for a hotel of this class. The F&B manager saved the day and took charge, but this was after a long debate and being told that the club sandwich was the only option by multiple staff members.
Hyatt Regency Hakone Resort and Spa was a last-minute change to our itinerary as the ryokan we had booked refused to cater for a wheelchair user. The Hyatt is well situated in Hakone, the hotel is set in a beautiful nature space and comprises two buildings, which are interconnected by a walkway. The room is spacious and provides lots of space even with an extra bed placed in the room. There is a nice sofa, a large flatscreen and an indoor balcony with tea and coffee facilities. In the room, there are Yukatas and traditional Japanese outfits for the guests to wear in the room and around the Hotel. The hotel provides aluminium bottles of water that can be refilled in a water dispenser in the hallway. Parking facilities are available and come complimentary. The living room has a lovely chill and nature-inspired feeling with a big fireplace for you to relax. The hotel offers 3 different places for food, catering to Western and Japanese options. There is a hotel shuttle bus available for various destinations in Hakone, the Spa in the hotel provides Onsen for the hotel guests as well as a comprehensive menu of spa treatments. You feel welcomed and taken care of by the Hyatt team during your stay.

United StatesRoom was really hot and adjusting the thermostat didn’t seem to have an impact. Shuttle service and cable car hours are limited and end early and taxis are not always available, so if you leave the resort in the evening for dinner it can be really difficult to get back (walk up is long, steep, and dark). Other reviews mentioned amazing views and our view was just OK (big rooftop of neighboring building). At this price point my expectations are pretty high.
Quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious and convenient. Room was huge and enclosed balcony was nice. Staff was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Easy access to cable car which conveniently connects you to Gora and the Hakone Ropeway during the day.
