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.).

AustraliaThe price was high for what it was. We have stayed in many Nikko hotels all over the world and was disappointed by the lack of hospitality. The cafe shut at 8:00 p.m. and the next morning we went down for breakfast and discovered that there was no service yet the signs all over the hotel says "ALL day dining".
It was in a very handy location. The room was not that large but ok.

OmanI developed severe nose congestion. I booked a smoking room by mistake and the staff were very not helpful, they expressed they were fully booked and hence they weren’t able to get me into a non-smoking one. However they didn’t recommend other measures. smoking room smelled terribly like cigarettes you couldn’t actually breath normally throughout and you can’t open the window. when I opened the ventilation despite being already dirty it was emitted cigarettes odour. the rooms are very old and hotel is not that good.

United StatesRegular rooms are “ancient” although they are large enough. The photos did show the subtle differences of regular rooms and the superior rooms (re-modeled) if one looks closely. There were mildews and molds in the bathroom which were unacceptable. The bathroom also smells because of poor ventilation. I was actually a bit surprised that this happened in a hotel this level. I don’t mind the room is a bit outdated, but at least clean and sanitize it properly.
Good location. Friendly staffs.

United StatesCould not adjust the room temperature. The direction was that if you don't like it, turn it off. The mirror in the bath room had the black spot which could not be wiped. The single room does not face the famous Himeji castle. It should be mentioned in the reservation website. The toilet seat does not fit the size of the toilet bowl. The shower head was not automatically set the temperature, i.e. cold and hot must be adjusted by you.
The location is very close to the Himeji JR station (south side).

United StatesThe hotel is on the older side, but with what we paid, I am okay with that. The hallway was a bit dark too. Because of how old the rooms are, it was very hard to find places to charge our devices. I couldn't find any plugs..?
The location is truly wonderful. It is literally across the street from the Himeji Station. Easy access if you arrive by JR/Shinkansen. Also not far from the Himeji Castle and many shopping malls and restaurants. My room had a nice view into the train station - if you like train watching, this is a wonderful location. Paid sauna, pool, and Japanese bathhouse - I didn't go but went to see it. If I stayed for more than one night, I would actually go use them. Looked pretty nice.

AustraliaAlthough I requested non smoking room, the room still smelt like smoke. Room key was still an old fashion key with room number tag attached. Whole building felt a bit run down.
Very close to the train station. Comfortable bed. Ocean view from the room.

AustraliaAccommodation very dated. Hallways had musty smell. Only one power point in the room - problematic for IT or health equipment like CPAP. Air conditioning could not cool below 25C - problematic under heat wave conditions as room was uncomfortable.
Location was excellent.

JapanNothing. Perhaps given me the Saturday edition of the Japan Times (actually it is the weekend edition!) instead of the Sunday edition of a Japanese newspaper I could not read. But what of it? I had a deadline to meet, so I had no business procrastinating with a newspaper anyway, complimentary or otherwise. Oh, and I wish there had been complimentary coffee somewhere in the morning. I would have hugged a desk clerk had that happened.
The breakfast is stupendous. Everyone should experience it at least once. There is something for everybody, East and West. The front desk kindly tried to give me a Japanese newspaper, even though I could not read it. I had a deadline to meet, so essentially, I used the room as an office. I could not have chosen a better location. For breaks, a walk around the town was just what the doctor ordered.
