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.).

AustraliaRoom looked exactly like the pictures with a blend of modern and traditional design. We could see the square and the station when we opened the window which was nice. Location was right next to the train station so super convenient. Onsen experience was fantastic along with the late night noodles and ice blocks. Don't forget to get the breakfast option, it was superb. Highly recommend

IsraelExcellent location, adjacent to the square of the train station and Nara Park, yet the rooms are quiet. Efficient staff, most but not all speak English. Pleasant onsen. Every evening, we received a delicious hot pot soup in the dining room. Several laundry and drying machines. Luggage delivery service from the hotel.

Hotel was located just in front of the JR station and the limousine airport bus which we took was close by too. We enjoyed the onsen, free ice cream, yakult and the ramen which were all free. Breakfast though mostly Japanese, was varied and good.

Rooms are super clean, beds are super comfy and the staff very polite and helpful. Really was an amazing way to finish my stay in Japan! Location is great, right by the station (but isnt noisy) and a 20/30 min walk to Nara Park! Amazing :-)

NetherlandsThis hotel was everything. Close to bus/treinstation to go around everywhere JR and local. Everything is within walking distance, although the park is 30 min walk on a easy pace, hence the local busses. Good food around and the hotel with it's interior and tatami gives you a real nice traditional experience. Futon where you are sleeping on are comfortable and the better ones we've slept on so far, although if you're bigger than 1m 80 it can become a bit small. Being able to use an onsen was really nice as well, the fact that they had bandages to cover small tattoos is really helpful as well. Would recommend this hotel to everyone.

CanadaThe staff are excellent- always trying to help , although they did not have a Japanese/English translator- we were able to communicate using Google translate. The onset is a lovely oasis of hot and cold baths. Free noodles in the evening, ice cream and bottles of water were appreciated. Laundry is available as well. The location is absolutely perfect for Mara park and the JR train line. Starbucks is across the street, in the tourist information centre, where there is luggage depot , free walking tours and English translators. Alongside is a grocery store- fridge is in the room- and a great noodle restaurant and bakery-

What a great location . Next to the station, 5 min walk to the shopping street with food courts. Perfect firm beds, onsen is very beautiful (was a nice experience for me and my wife). Temples are near, and very beautiful. The room was in japanese style. You where not able to walk with the shoes through the hotel, you need to put your shoes in a locker. Hotel was very clean.

AustraliaIt's not very clear in the booking listing, but the staff do not allow tattooed people in the onsen. It's an antiquated Japanese rule, but a rule nevertheless. With that said, the onsen itself is really lovely. So if you can cover up your tattoos with a patch, give this place a try.
Clean premises, good location, great traditional onsen.
