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.).

Our stay was absolutely delightful. The room was lovely, beautiful and cozy and everything was immaculately clean. The bathtub did us very well and it was so relaxing! We loved the shared area where you can make your matcha tea and relax with the garden view. The halfboard dinner & breakfast was exceptional and the service of the staff was amazing! Thank you for making our stay memorable.

AustraliaNothing really. Perhaps the only downside is that I was on a work trip so I didn’t get to fully relax!
This ryokan was one of the most welcoming stay I’ve experienced. The staff had an impeccably friendly and helpful attitude. And the half board dinner and breakfast was such a special experience. One of the best meals I’ve had.

AustraliaAmazing service! We stayed at this Ryokan for 3 nights with breakfast and dinner. They ask you each time when you would like dinner and breakfast to suit you. Mind you, their breakfast and dinner are cooked by the chef so it takes some time. My room was pretty big for a Ryokan. They have a lounge for you to enjoy tea, coffee and an outlook into the middle garden for some mediation. Overall, I enjoyed my stay there

United StatesThe bed (as most beds I’ve noticed in hotels in japan) was a little stiff and as a side sleeper it was a little difficult for me to fall asleep but otherwise an enjoyable experience.
Upon arrival and throughout the stay the staff were exceptionally welcoming and also spoke some English which was helpful. The wooden tub was amazing and the grounds are well kept. The included Japanese breakfast was also very good - I wish I stayed longer.

The staff were so nice and very welcoming. The rooms were spacious and so comfortable, I loved the design of the property, it was so quiet and I loved the traditional aspects of each area and corner of the stay. The food in general exceeded my expectations. It was very traditional Japanese fare and some of the best food I had in Japan. I would not hesitate to stay here again when next I'm in Kyoto.
