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 StatesFuton was a bit too firm for me. Sound travels through the thin walls so you can hear it whenever doors are sliding or people are walking around, especially in the early morning or evening. If you are a light sleeper, it may bother you.
Good location , walking distance to most sites. Hosts were very kind and friendly.

United KingdomSome sort of large unit outside bedroom window making a loud whirring noise kept me awake . The location was a bit of a challenge to get to main train station but a local resident who was outside his house saw I was having troubles working out what bus stop and went out of his way to help me actually taking me to right bus stop and helping me with times. He even asked nearby workmen for pen and paper so I could right times down

United KingdomI did not like some sort of air conditioning huge unit right outside my bedroom window which i could hear whirring quite loudly and it kept me awake, there only seemed to be one toilet and one shower room for us all to share, the hosts and other guests, it was quite some distance from the main station, someone in the neighbourhood helped me find the correct bus stop i needed to get to my next accommodation in the evening which was so nice of him, he lived near the bus stop i was looking at which turned out to be no good, he was outside his house and offered to find the right bus stop with me
I liked the rooms and the dog is super cute, i liked we could use the kitchen if we wanted, the house was very near an interesting part of kanazawa - with all the temples etc

RussiaAbsolutely the best of Japanese hospitality. The traditional room is huge, clean, and nice decorated. The owners are supernice, friendly, and helpful. It's actually their home transformed into nice budget ryokan. They even gave me a small handmade present when saying goodbye, which was so touching. The location is great, very close to the famous old district. Three local sentos (public baths) are just behind the corner. 10 minutes to a big supermarket. Everything is perfect, thank you.

AustraliaI am not used to sleeping on the floor, so it is a personal thing. Other people might like it. If you find the floor is hard, you can ask for more futon.
It is in the local neighbourhood area run by very friendly couple.

AustraliaThe room is small, located on the second floor of the creaky narrow, steep staircase. There are few amenities, and the futon is very thin. Not exactly comfortable. But at this price, you can't complain too much.
The hosts were immensely kind and helpful. The guest house is in a good location. The old samurai district, markets, or station are all a brief walk away. Lastly, the room was clean and warm. And of course, Gao the dog is lovley to meet.

AustraliaI liked everything couldn't find fault.
Everything if o e is looking for the old Japanese culture this property has it. I was romancing Japan with the movie Samarui it fits perfect except for indoor bath, then outdoor. Management are polite, humble and really go out of their way to assist, even the staff, same. Just nice people. If I could rate my experience on financial cost I'd give it a 11. It's conveniently located to bus stop only about 120mtrs or less. Great restaurant doing blow wish same distance where locals eat. Hopefully when I return to Japan I'll find a vacancy, town and Rykson a true gem. Lacquerware bit expensive though. I didn't buy but as a gift for staying I was given lacquer chopsticks. That's what I mean, a true gem. Enjoy as I did.
