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.).

ItalyThe staff spoke very little English and did not accept card payments. But these are two very common problems throughout Japan.
Very comfortable facility, very helpful and nice staff (two nice grandparents). Very clean rooms, especially the bathrooms. Excellent area, not very central but still in a great location. Room equipped with every comfort, cleaned every morning and you always found tea.

AustraliaThe room had a kettle, but the dining room where the fridge was did not. Because it's traditional Japanese accommodation, it can be noisy, but fortunately our fellow guests were quiet.
Location in the old geisha district. It was quiet yet atmospheric. Great hosts who were eager to please.

The location is right next to the famous higashi chaya street, not hard to find. Room was bigger than i thought, lovely tradition tatami floor. Everywhere is quite clean. You may used the shared fridge. Warm welcome from the owner.

PolandI honestly can't say anything bad about this place, even if I wanted to.
The host was so sweet and kind! The room was very nice, with its own AC to cool down, and the Japanese layout really was lovely. The breakfast and tea were so good, I wish I could've stayed for longer than just one night! The location is great too. It's just next to the geisha district, and close on foot to the samurai district and the castle. All in all, extremely good value for money. I'd visit again anytime!

Canadathe ryokan could use some upgrades (scuffed tables, stains, mould on curtain in shower room, etc.) it was a little unclear if the sink outside our room was for our singular use or for public use. Sharing of the bathroom/shower facilities is a little inconvenient but is fairly normal at ryokans, not the hotels fault just something to keep in mind.
it was such an interesting experience staying in an old style ryokan. the location is absolutely fabulous. the Japanese breakfast was awesome and very good value. the stay was also very fairly priced. the older couple that run the ryokan are absolutely lovely.
