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 Kingdom+ There was nothing I disliked. I would stay here again.
+ Loved the room, which featured tatami flooring, amenities and the provision of a yukata, obi and hanten (which I wore at breakfast). + Excellent and friendly service by all the staff, some of whom speak good English. + Delicious dinner and breakfast. + A relaxing private onsen (very much worth the additional cost). + Location is somewhat further out, but it worked for me since it was a bus away from Gotemba Station (which I could use the Hakone Freepass for).

SwitzerlandMeals must to be booked ahead and there was zero flexibility to change anything on the spot. We only wanted to get less food for the kids (I had asked for regular size which turned out to be too much), but no chance to change this for the second night.
A true ryokan experience with the very spacious tatami rooms, relaxing onsen and the traditional japanese dinner and breakfast. Great base for hiking trips.

United KingdomThe location is quite far from the Odawara train station where the Shinkansen stops. It took an hour on the bus to get to the ryokan. Touristy area, expect crowds.
The traditional feel of the ryokan was amazing. We greatly enjoyed being able to walk around wearing the traditional yukatas and slippers provided (separate slippers for toilet). The dinner was amazing, even vegan option (rare in Japan). Tatami was a comfy thick matrace on the floor, large room, two large beds, best of the whole Japan trip! But the most fantastic highlight was the onsen: real sulphur hot spring coming right from the vulcano. We endjoyed the public bath and even more the smaller private bath where we could take pictures. About 40 minutes to get to Lake Ashi from where we were super lucky to see a wonderful view of Mount Fuji. The stay at this ryokan was my favourite of all the Japan trip. Hotels in cities are tiny, the room here was immense compared and the nature around was soothing. We found a wonderful temple in the woods 10 minutes walk from the ryokan. This stay is definitely my highlight of the trip, filled with wonderful temples and exciting cities. The calm and natural environment of Hakone is priceless.

The size of the room was amazing. The bus stop was just across the street. The supplied kimono were very comfortable.

Amazing traditional rooms with lot of space. The hotel offers also public and private onsen that it was a very nice experience and also tattoo friendly. The dinner and the breakfast are worth booking. It was the best part of our stay there. Very friendly personel with very good english skills. Easy to access with a direct bus from Gora station, however be careful to catch the last bus as they stop quite early.

IsraelAmazing place! Here you experience the mixture of western comfort and Japanese authenticity. The rooms are really big, and the Asian beds are spacious, soft and comfy. We loved the onsen and breakfasts were various and very tasty. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel (like 3 meters from the door). From this stop there runs a direct bus to Shinjuku station. You can travel with luggage, as you don’t need to walk or take a taxi in Hakone. We loved complimentary Japanese socks! Thank you!

Sri LankaPrivate onsen are booked out quickly and you only have 45 minute slots, which can get a little tight when you have to plan in the washing time before getting into the onsen and the time to get ready and potentially blowdry your hair after the onsen bath. But its definitely doable.
The private onsen were extremely beautiful, the traditional japanese rooms with tatami mats were spacious and a great experience to stay at. We had a booked the plan with breakfast and dinner and the meals were absolutely exceptional abundant. The staff was also really friendly. All in all we had the most relaxing time and really fell in love with this place.
