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.).

FranceThe dormitory is a bit small but for one or two night it's perfectly fine.
Very close to the main station so it's easy to travel around. Very nice staff :)

RussiaSome people took pleasure in cooking at 6 AM something like bacon, and one guy who was leaving at 4 AM woke me up at 3.30 AM, even though the door to my private room was closed of course. He was stomping for one hour in the corridor, then when he finally left someone else woke up - the cycle continues. So, I don’t know if I can call it a place where you can relax fully - doors and walls are thin - you’ll hear everything everywhere - please have earplugs ready. Also even though I had a separate room, it had no window, so, there was no air to breath, and opening the door all the time was uncomfortable. Note that if this might be an issue for you.
The receptionist girl is really nice and helped me with this and that, some things that I asked her about and even let me check-in a bit earlier. The place itself is located right next to the station “Kagoshima chuo eki mae”, so, it’s great if you want to go somewhere else from there by shinkansen or by bus. There are 2 showers, which is good, and toilets look nice and clean.

UruguayThere was no light in the bed and little room for luggage in the shared room. The kitchen was a bit too small, even for one person, let alone for many. The eating space was a bit small, too. It's not a problem if you're planning to eat out.
The location is very good, really close to Kagoshima chuo station. The bed was comfortable, with an outlet to charge my phone and a curtain for privacy. The people are friendly and accommodating. I could leave my luggage there after the check-out to enjoy the city a bit more.

United StatesThe whole place smelled musty, especially the dorm room. Cleanliness is extremely important to me and the smell caused some discomfort. It was the first thing I noticed when I walked into the hostel. Is there mold in the hostel?
It has a great central location. The staff are friendly and helpful, the receptionist was nice enough to make a call on my behalf in Japanese. Finally, the common room is very homey and comfortable. Fun decor.

NetherlandsOur room didn't have a curtain so it didn't get dark. The beds were basically like lying on a wooden plank, but to be fair, that's the case in 90% of Japanese hostels. Probably below the average Japanese hostel experience in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
It's absolutely an alright place to stay. Don't go if you're desperate to meet new friends. Although we had a couple of fun talks, it's mostly a quiet hostel. 100% value for money and super conveniently located near the train station. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Cheap washing and drying.

Had everything you need, no more and no less (e.g. lockers, power plugs near the bed, etc.). Very close to Kagoshima Station, street-car stop and bus terminals, as well as a shopping centre and a lot of restauraunts.

United StatesThe futons are a little thin and the building is older.
Located just behind the train/bus station, where you can take a Kagoshima City Bus for ¥600 and stop at various scenic areas (buses run every 30 minutes). In the large private room, there are 3 beds: bunk beds and a loft. The air conditioning /heater worked well!

JapanI did not know that they don‘t provide any towels, so my first night there I was without towel and toothbrush… the next day I bought myself some. The light was always on in the room, it was not a bright light but a small one. It was nice on one hand because at night you could see when you had to leave the bed but at the same time the first night it disturbed me a little bit.
Very cute little sharehouse in the center of Kagoshima! The staff was very friendly and cleaned everything regularly! I was in a female only room and I felt comfortable. Washing machine was for free! Drier was 300 Yen, but that is pretty normal everywhere in Japan. I met a lot of interesting and fun people. The hostel had a shared kitchen and living room so in the evening we could sit together and meet new people! It felt very cozy!

JapanI felt unsafe as some old poor people live in the dorm room and some of Japanese sighs in the building are about thefts, which are not translated into English. Be careful with your stuff if you stay here. I guess this is the cheapest place to sleep in in Kagoshima city and poor people who can’t afford to pay rent come here.
