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 StatesLoved the property. Just be aware than dinner options are very, very limited in this area in the spring. Luckily, a conbini is nearby.
Very comfortable rooms that were bigger than expected. The beds were excellent. Easy self check in so there was no staff involvement during our stay, however their communication was excellent beforehand so I felt ok with that. Great location on the lakeside in Motohakone-ko. Easy access to bus and pirate ship tours. The room was very clean we loved everything about this property.

CanadaA few things were in a bit of disrepair. The sink was loose, one of the screen doors fell out on the balcony. These things can easily be fixed, however, and did not interfere with the trip. Well, they do have an Onsen on site, it is just fine, but not magical
It is a fabulously interesting experience. The staff are particularly excellent. The dinner and breakfast were magnificent. Truly unique experiences. We were also transferring to a second hotel for our second night in town and one of the staff spontaneously volunteered to arrange to send our baggage ahead for us so we didn’t have to carry it all day. There was no charge for this service. We were super impressed.

United Statessomehow there was confusion and the email did not arrive but fortunately the phone number was posted so I was able to make contact and get the room number and access code. I might suggest sending a confirmation email with reply so that the critical information can be communicated when required.
the room was compact but had all the amenities required. the microwave and fridge was a great bonus. the property was the perfect location for activities on the lake. we were able to walk to all attractions. the bus terminal was very close. markets and convenient stores were easily walk-able. highly recommend the accommodations.

NetherlandsThere's no elevator, so carrying the luggage upstairs was quite a challenge. I was unsure of where to dispose of the garbage (no instruction were provided)
The room was designed so effectively that it felt larger than its actual size. I love the decorations and the meticulous attention to detail. I was assigned a room with a balcony, and waking up to the view of Lake Ashi every morning was simply breathtaking. Without a doubt, I will choose to stay here again the next time I visit Lake Ashi.

SwitzerlandSome things were obviously not clean (toilet seat, tea cup). There was not a real window that you could open / no view to anywhere.
It was conveniently located close to lake Ashi and the shrine. A few nice restaurants / cafes in walking distance.

United StatesThe space was small, but pretty typical for Japanese standards. Thew two of us only had backpacks with us for this stay and it was still very cramped even without our rolling luggage that we shipped ahead of us to our next hotel. Highly recommend packing as lightly as you can and ship your luggage via a service like Kuro Neko if you stay here/Hakone in general.
The best parts about this stay were the keyless entry into the room (streamlined our arrival), and the location. The proximity to the bus station for the Tozan Buses and Motohakone Port for the Pirate Ship Sightseeing Cruise on Lake Ashi (both used the Hakone Freepass). We also woke up early had had a very short walk to Hakone Shrine and Heiwa no Torii for uninterrupted photo opportunities at those very popular attractions. The apartment was reasonably priced and if it weren't so cloudy, we had a great view of Lake Ashi (and maybe even Mt. Fuji)!

PhilippinesThe unit was on the 2nd floor. (But it was great!) So its not adviseable to go here with children or older people who has a hard time walking. Adviseable for young ones. Also, not adviseable if you are travelling with a big trolley. Advise you to only bring a small trolley or a backpack as it is still quite a walk to the bus or taxi station.
The place was clean and directly across the lake. Really nice cozy feel. Bonus that it has a microwave and a ref that we didnt get to use.
