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.).

PolandNothing bad at all.
The room was very comfortable with great river review. The area is quiet yet convenient. Their breakfast was amazing, mostly home-made by the owner and served with such warm hospitality and homey touch. Big thanks to the owners and their daughter who provided such excellent service. Highly recommended!

United KingdomThe room was one of the most comfortable ones we stayed at this trip (3 weeks) and the hosts are so friendly! It's a family run ryokan and one can really feel at home here. We got many tips for exploring Matsumoto and the tickets for the castle with them and rented bikes from the hotel to explore around town. Their brekkie is delicious and Atsuko was super friendly and took us to the station when we checked out. Thank you so much for the lovely stay!

AustraliaWe loved our stay at Ryokan Seifuso - one of the best places we stayed during three weeks in Japan. Very comfortable Japenese style accomodation, with bikes to ride and a delicious breakfast. We also found our favourite restaurant of the trip nearby - a local ramen and fried chicken place - Kawashiyo.

IsraelThe fact that the public bath & shower are closed after 11pm was a bit of a close call for me since there are no alternatives for taking a shower and I spent the evening in a different part of town..
This was a wonderful family run Ryokan. The staff were very warm and kind, gave good recommendations and offered bicycle rental to better navigate the city. The room was clean, comfy and welcoming. The public bath was excellent, designed very nicely and you can feel the good qualities of the bath. After checkout they even gave their visitors a lift to matsumoto station ! To summarize, best service quality and overall kindness that I've received in any hotel I've been to (Japan or elsewhere), facilities are clean and the room is cozy.

CanadaNothing. We enjoyed everything about our stay.
We loved staying at this place. It is family run and you feel right at home the moment you arrive The service was excellent - very personal - and it has everything you require for a comfortable stay. The breakfast that was served was exceptional, and delivered with such attention and care. There was alot of space for use outside your room, including access to the onsen facilities. The extra touches - including a ride to the train station - made the whole experience wonderful.

Czech RepublicThe stay was great, we have stayed only one night ... unfortunetely it was not possible to extend due to our tight schedule, the staff is super friendly and help us with everything we needed. The ryokan is exceptional, we had a private one as there were no other guest at that time and trust me, you do not know you want to have ryokan in your accomodation until you have experienced it. Having the option to chill in the bath after long hiking day is priceless. Ps.: the location is not close to the citycentre but you can get there easily .. we took bus 120 from main bus station.

United KingdomThe most relaxing stay, the owners are such kind people, warm and welcoming. Very comfortable room, calm and beautiful Ryokan. The bath is great, clean and relaxing. The breakfast is delicious. About 25 min walk to the city center but totally doable, otherwise bikes are available and buses are a good option too!
