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.).

AustraliaThe view from our room was amazing, as we could see Karatsu Castle and we were right on the river. The staff were very helpful and recommended a nice Japanese restaurant for dinner. We could park our car right across from the hotel, which was very convenient.

MalaysiaBathroom is dated. A little hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for... They've renovated the entrance a little, so the picture on Booking.com doesn't really match. A little dusty. Old school futon, just like what you would expect to see in rural village grandma's house. You need to set up your own futon. A little further away from the shopping streets, in a quiet town. So you might be walking around in the dark trying to get back to the hotel.
They provide free parking just across the road, and rental bicycles (for a fee)! Old school inn with tranquil vibes overlooking the river. Dated building and bathroom, and it felt like you went back in time! But it might not be for everyone... You can reserve the family bath for a private ofuro (hot big bathtub) session. Staffs are able to converse in English and communicated well with international travellers. Friendly and helpful staffs. I really love the kotatsu they provided in the room. And they also provide welcome drinks (after 10pm). Very near Karatsu Castle! Good spot for Yuri on Ice fans! There is a memorabilia section for the anime!

United KingdomThe washroom inside the room is too small and it's better to take bath at the public washroom. The hotel is beside a busy road. It takes time for you to park your car at the opposite side of the hotel.
The hotel only has a very few guest rooms and every room had got wonderful river view. It's close to the Castle which you view from the outside the hotel. The breakfast was good with plenty of small traditional Japanese dishes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though the suitcases were very heavy, they helped us to take to the second floor one by one.
