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.).

HungaryBest location, near to port, info centre, bus stop, and only "real" supermarket in town. Really liked the Japanese style of the whole house, not justy room. Kotchen spacious and well equipped. Host flexible with check-in.

AustraliaThis isn't really the owner's fault, but the reception desk is only manned for check-in during specific hours during the day. There is a sign posted that requests that you call the owner if you arrive outside of these hours, but this is a problem if you're not travelling with a functional roaming cell phone. I got help from another guest that had Japanese cell service, but do keep this in mind when arriving. Again this isn't really the owner's fault, this is a great place to stay and is highly recommended!!
The location's pretty great, close to Miyanoura Port, if you're arriving by ferry. It's a bit of a trek from the airport though, but not a problem if you have a rental car (which you really should if you're visiting Yakushima). It's within walking distance to a bunch of good restaurants, and the owners are really nice and friendly. There is also an adorable cat named Moro that lives on the premises and demands head scratches.

DenmarkSo close to the Miyanoura ferry port and the supermarket! So convenient. It is also close to the bus stop that takes you around the island. The room was spacious and with tatami mats! We had futons which were very soft. The room had a small table and a mini fridge, el keddle and hair dryer! Towels and slippers were provided! It was easy to do your laundry and a kitchen were available for cooking! Staff were very friendly and helpful and Moro-chan (the cat) was so cute! Daily energy booster. Definitely recommend staying here especially if you don't plan to rent a car! You have access to everything within walking or bus distance

The location was great as it was next to the ferry, bus stop, supermarket, and tourist information, where I got the island maps, bus schedules etc. The staff was really friendly and helpful. All in all, it was great value for the price. I hope I can return one day!

Rooms were nice, everything was very good. We loved it here. The host has a cute orange cat that welcomed us outside (it doesnt come into the house for people concerned about allergies). Yakushima was a magical stay for us!
