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.).

NetherlandsSmall detail: the lights at the outside bath didn't go off, so no night sky or view at the ocean at night due to light pollution. I think the timer switch is broken.
The location is great. Open baths, the whole Ryokan experience with food and futon. This was our first Ryokan experience where we actually slept, and could get very used to this.

JapanIt is a very worn out hotel, it needs a renovation. The futon and the pillow wasnt very comfortable. Also it was very expensive despite the off-season.
I think this hotel stands out for its food. I stayed half board and the kaiseki style meals were great not only in their presentation but also taste. Staff was friendly also. The onsen facilities are small but nice. Especially the one at the top with rocks. I dont like the plastic onsen bath. The room had nice view and was very clean. I really also appreciated the very silent AC.

JapanParts of the building have certainly seen better days, but the upkeep and hospitality definitely make up for that.
We loved the space, the large rooms, the excellent food, the beach access with storage space for surfing gear, the onsen and the beautiful ocean views. Super friendly staff! I had an accident on the last day and they’re extremely helpful in arranging our trip to the local hospital and were very flexible about our checkout time.

JapanThe facilities are little old, but that is totally acceptable for me. Nothing big to complain about.
Amazing location. Helpful staff. Magical food. It was really worth the money. I guess the hotel is trying to lower cost, by making many options as paid extra, and that is great. The fantastic thing is that you can use pool and spa even after checkout. Thank you!

AustraliaThe price seems a bit expensive for one night, and they didn't have menus to order in the room so I had to wake about 20 minutes to go to the nearest restaurant. Location is incredible for the view, but the convenience store and restaurants are way too far away, and also we had to make our own bed, which was tad annoying.
Incredible view, with amazing private Onsen. The room is spacious, and it has really nice features like glass pane shower rooms and balcony. The staff was really friendly and nice, with really great services.

CanadaLack of elevator to onsen rooftop floor.
Somewhat older property but in a stunning location and well-maintained. One negative, - access to the onsen lacks elevators and requires climbing stairs. The onsen itself is again a little dated but the location and views of the beach more than makes up for this. Our room service was superb - everything one can wish for in a onsen-ryokan experience. There is a free shuttle service to the Shimoda train station.

The view is incredible, the baths are perfectly hot, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the sound of the sea gently crashing into the shore is ever present.
