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.).

ItalyDuring check in time there was no one at the desk and there was a sign that invited guests to call a phone number in case the front office was unattended. This unfortunately does not take into consideration that guests coming from other countries might not have a phone plan allowing this, as happened to us, so we had to wait until someone showed up.

FranceThe room was rather small as well as the bed and i dont think there is a TV if i remember correctly (but not entirely sure anymore) but all of this information is available on Booking so it does not come as a surprise either. I would not rate the bed as the most comfortable but overall we were more than happy with our stay and can only recommend especially since there is not that much other affordable housing in Kamakura and this is probably one of the best for the price.
The location of the hostel is amazing, it allows you to be only a few minutes from the station and to be close to the city center as well as the beach. We were able to store our luggage there before and after check-in and -out which is a big plus. Generally, the room was very good and there is nothing particular to complain about it corresponds very well to the descriptions and photos. The room is not amazing either but it very much lives up to the standards at which it is advertised. So good price / quality ratio.

United StatesWe have a room for four, which in fact is four capsules inside one room. The capsule setup actually waste more space than normal beds. This is a hostel after all, maybe they want the flexibility to rent out space one by one.
Great location not far from JR station with adequate facilities, though kitchen will be crowded if more than one group using it. Things look new and clean.

United StatesThe set up fit us all bed wise, but was cramped because of the design of the room. Not much room to sit or spread out.
It was easy to get to and could easily take the bus or walk to various temples or shops. They held our bags before check in and after check out which was helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed.

Not sure why it is called a hostel because our experience was like a hotel. Staff was nice (I managed to lose the papertag for our luggage storage and they didn't make a problem out of it). The AC warmed up our room quickly and bad was comfortable. Loved the designer touches in our room, like cool floor and the sink. Location can't be better, close to center and the beach.
