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.).

CanadaWe really enjoyed our stay. We booked a room with its own outside onsen tub, which was excellent. As we had our own private onsen, we did not use the common bathing facilities. As there are no restaurants anywhere near the hotel, we ate both breakfast and dinner at the hotel each day. They prepared different meals for us each time, and the meal presentation and taste were outstanding. The staff were also excellent, and attended to our every request. Several staff members were able to speak English as we can't speak any Japanese. The location is a bit out of town along a winding forest road. It would be impossible to get to the hotel without a car and google maps. With the meals our stay was somewhat expensive but we would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

This is not your typical ryokan but a modern one where nobody will wake you up at 7am for breakfast. Here, you can (almost) sleep as you please. 9 bungalows for 9 rooms. Each room has its own private onsen, one indoor and the other outdoor, in addition to the bigger "public" one. Staff is great. Dinner is superb, and so is breakfast. It's far, a bit remote but you must go for a peaceful and very charming moment.

Food was great. Service was attentive and excellent. Special mention must be made of Agung san who served us over several meals and who provided great service and helpful advice on how to get to the places we wanted to visit. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed was extremely comfortable and the in-room bath was spacious and very relaxing. The entire place was a pretty sight to behold especially in the evenings. The dining area was warm and very inviting. It was cold when we were there and we woke up to see snow flurries one morning.

SingaporeWiFi connection could have been better. Location - you really need a car to reach the hotel. The hotel name in Booking.com and the name on Google Map (Hanagokoro) does not match. It was confusing during setting of GPS.
The excellent service of the staff. Check-in by a Japanese male was quick n efficient. Indonesian staff Mr Agung n Ms Diva spoke good English and they were so polite and helpful too. The amenities in the room were good. Having both a personal indoor n outdoor hot bath within the room premises was excellent.

SingaporeCottage with not just beds but there’s also a TV area, sitting area and indoor onsen. Big single beds with USB cable plugs set right next to each bed. Very considerate design everywhere inside the cottage. Staff also speak English which is great. It’s located deep inside the woods but just follow Google map’s direction and we found it with no issues. Just have to make sure you try to get there before sunset, really really dark on the road otherwise. They have outdoor and indoor public baths (onsen) but we didn’t manage to use it. The private indoor one inside the room was good enough for us. Even though we only stayed for 1 night, really enjoyed the cottage. The dinner and breakfast were also delicious.

AustraliaFlight of stairs to get up to our cottage so not convenient for those with mobility issues and hard to take our luggage into the room. Beds were bit soft and not very comfortable for us.
Private onsen in room with free parking. Away from the main Kurokawa onsen area so was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the beautiful surrounding with autumn foliage.

Beautiful inn in the middle of the National Park, you need a car to get here though, I don’t think you could do it by public transport. Private onsens (indoor and outdoor) in each room and there’s public ones too. Beautiful, secluded spot, really quiet and peaceful and surrounded by nature. We had a lovely evening here.

The place is well-designed, enormous and very clean. The front desk staff who speaks english helped us all the way from booking taxi and restaurant reservation. The we have a private onsen and a public one both are nice and enjoyable.
