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 StatesThe place is like a retreat. It has a huge common kitchen, spacious lounge surrounded by nature, and an outdoor terrace. There is a big supermarket nearby. The attractions are convenient to reach. Indoor and outdoor onsen pools for men and women separately. I had a great time staying there.

NetherlandsI was not expecting it to be so far away from the old part of Nikko and Chuzenji (2-3 hours by local train & bus). Also would have loved privacy curtains in the dorms.
Very relaxing, spacious, clean environment with friendly and helpful staff that speaks excellent English. The onsen is amazing and I somehow always had it all for myself.

FranceSpotless. Never seen such a well equipped hostel. They have everything you can think off. Maybe a few board game could be added but that's just a suggestion because it is already perfect. Staff is amazing. Loved the onsen which was just the cherry on top About location is it not the most central and I wasn't aware that it was located 1h30 away (2 trains and 1 bus) from main attractions in Nikko (shrine, waterfall) but still it was worth it.

United KingdomIt really is far from lots of the things to do in Nikko. Some of the buses are quite hard to navigate Not particularly social when I was there - luck of the draw. Staff don’t do anything to enable socialising - potential area for improvement?
Communal areas & outside space are stunning. Onsen is divine and very modern

CanadaNothing bad to say honestly, other than that the nearest train does not run super often. This is to be expected when out of the city however, so I consider this normal considering the location.
The location is beautiful, right on the corner of a gorge where you can see the river at the bottom. There are trees everywhere and the onsen is pristine. The kitchen area is huge and immaculate, plus the bed in the dorms are comfy and there is tons of space to put your things. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and spoke English very well too!

United KingdomStrange area, I didn’t find a huge amount to do/see nearby. There is a lovely walk along a gorge but it’s a train ride away (or 60 minute walk along a quite busy road away to get to the start). It’s a long way from the Toshogu shrine (2 trains). The local town is Kinugawa Onsen. Very pleasant but quiet provincial town. Would be great in a car as then sites etc would be more accessible.
The Onsen hot baths were great - indoors and outdoor options. Rooms large and quiet, staff helpful, lovely chilled common space. There was a small traditional bar/restaurant five minute walk away run by an old couple. No English but food was good and e we all muddled along

JapanWhen my husband and son went to the mens outdoor onsen, they found a human poo at the bottom. When they told the staff, the staff said they couldn't do anything about it. That stopped them from going again the following day.
The dining area/sofa area was very pleasant, the kitchen was well equipped. The ladies onsen was also a great addition with a view of the hills. The room was very clean.

Beautiful onsen with indoor/outdoor seperate male/female facilities, a lounge that makes you feel like you’re in the trees, kitchen and laundry facilities. We had a double and a family Japanese style room all were clean and functional. Some confusion initially about my 4 year old who was only free if she shared a bed. There is a supermarket lion dior a 600m walk, that has a good range of groceries

Loved everything about this place. It was the perfect place to just take it slow for a couple days. The onsens were just so peaceful and beautiful and I hate it all to myself. The kitchen is amazingly equipped with everything you need and is always spotlessly clean. The common hang out area is just beautiful, comfortable and an amazing view. Beds were super comfy and warm. Staff were wonderful and so friendly.

IrelandI spent one night in the 8-bed dorm and in short I can say: if in the past I rated some few accommodations with 10/10, then I should give at least 15/10 to K's House Nikko. The greatest value for your money is here.
