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.).

IsraelSize of the room- the price and variety of the breakfasts..
It was good location-just a few minutes walk from Nara’s park and also to the lovely streets of Nara.(restaurants ,shops etc). It was self check in& out which was easy and the staff was nice & helpful if we needed help or ordering a or anything else. The room was small but looks nice and was suitable for our needs.

TaiwanIt would’ve been nice to have coffee bags and not just tea option. Only negative was staff ordering wrong size taxi for family of 4 with 3 large suitcases and one small. Had to split up family and wait for them to call 2nd taxi to train station.
A newer hotel property in a quiet neighborhood near the park.

AustraliaWe selected the Twin room bed configuration. This comment is not restricted to this hotel. But as someone with a back issue I found the beds were not comfortable. Too firm. In general I have found the hotel bed comfort on this trip, hit and miss. Some hotels are comfortable and others too firm. It may be a cultural thing but it's a key decision for me and in the case of this hotel it is an unfortunate negative point that would influence my decision in the future.
The location was excellent as it is situated very close to the main Nara attractions and park and also the restaurants in the old town. We booked a large room that would cater for more than a couple so we were very happy with the room size. The condition and cleanliness of the room, also, very good. Style modern and minimalist and a hint of Japanese traditional flavour. The staff were helpful and friendly and provided assistance as requested. The breakfast was a set breakfast in either western or Japanese versions and was well presented and sufficient. But sometimes a buffet can be fun to be able to mix things up. However I think the set breakfast was in keeping with the hotel's overall policy of minimal waste which I appreciate. Finally, the location is on a no through road next to some parkland with deer. Consequently very quiet.

NetherlandsMaybe I misunderstood but I didn’t realise the hotel lobby was also a public cafe, so it’s very busy there all the time. The terrace is not for hotel guests only but anyone can come have a coffee, which is a shame as then there is nowhere to sit a relax for a while with a book.
Perfect location, couple minutes walk to the main area of shops and restaurants but also a terrace on the park where you can enjoy a coffee with views of deer! Best shower we had in Japan- very powerful, comfortable beds and nice dark room at night. Oh and best green tea in the room I’ve ever had!!

Location is great with kids as you can easily walk to all the interesting spots. The terrace of the hotel is great as well! Western breakfast is good but every day the same and not really adapted to kids (e.g. soup, carrot salad, boiled eggs).
