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.).

GermanyA beautiful old Ryokan with well-kept wooden interior, a lovely garden and a nice in-house onsen. Close to Hirosaki castle. Some interesting history to be discovered in the house. The tatami were wonderful, as was the yukata provided. The host was so kind to invite us for a tasty drink at the private bar, and gave excellent recommendations for sights and dining in Hirosaki.

ItalyEverything was great!
This typical and historical Ryokan mantains a huge charme of the passed time, though is complete of many comforts and amenities of the present. The owner is incredibly welcoming and showed us all the kindness a tourist could ever desire. He gave us tip about the restaurant to go (authentic food, high quality and great value!), an umbella for the fotecasted Rain, an Apple juice for the train trip. He waited for us to have a drink toghether in the near bar late in the evening and was up to greet us in the early Morning after. Outstanding availability and kindness made us truly feel welcome, Just like home. Arigatōgozaimasu!

New ZealandNothing. As long as you know what to expect with a Ryokan eg. sleeping on the floor and Japanese style bathrooms there shouldn’t be anything to dislike as it’s all done very well. The property is older but it adds to its character.
Service was excellent by the owners of the ryokan. We were treated to a free drink in the bar and given excellent recommendations for dinner. What really made it special was the small little things like green tea and biscuits waiting for us in our room when we arrived and again in the morning.The owner works extremely hard and is always around to help with questions or requests, he speaks excellent English.

QatarThe bath lacked a bit of character / seemed a bit dated but it was fine.
This is a place with real character and history - it has been a Ryokan for over a century, and the owner’s family has been in Hirosaki for 9 generations. Soichiro-San was a generous and attentive host and gave great recommendations for food and sake that were off the beaten path. The other guests were a mix foreign and Japanese tourists, and we had a nice time chatting with them at the property’s small private bar. We received a thermos of hot water to make green tea and look out the window into the beautiful garden. we would definitely come back!

TaiwanThe sound insulation of the old house is very poor, you need to endure the sound of people talking and walking
