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.).

United StatesIt's up on the hill that when we wanted to walk around and go down by the water, we had to clime up the hill to get hack to the hotel ( we are in our 60's and not too easy).
The view was great. Breakfast had a variety of items and very good.

AustraliaThey don’t accept people with tattoos in the public bath unfortunately. Not the worst thing in the world but that’s probably only the dislike.

SingaporeShintomitei could have done better to improve the hotel in many of its facilities including the room. Instead it offers just enough for an average stay and it’s guests are not wowed! Nevertheless it’s a generally happy stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check in was smooth. Internet extremely poor. Not worth the price of the stay compared to other similar accommodation elsewhere.
Friendly staff. Overall happy stay

AustraliaThe building and facilities were a little old and sometimes it felt like we were the only ones in the hotel
They had a family onsen where you could rent the place for 45 mins to have alone time with your loved ones for 2800yen. They also had their own public bath you could enjoy from 5:30am in the morning until midnight. I loved the fact that they had a shuttle to take you to the iconic tourist places

United StatesThe big stain on the rug carpet on the way to my room, and the two elevator rugs were so dirty
The property was nice. My room was nice to the Hot Springs. The area was nice. On my way to my room. There’s a huge staying on the rug and it just put me off every time I saw it because I need to fix it. Also, the elevators had a really dingy old dirty rug needs to be changed.

New ZealandThough the room was large, the sleeping area was a bit cramped and the bed was a bit hard for my taste, but I know this the Japanese style. The hotel has probably seen better days, renovation overdue in some areas
The Japanese style breakfast was excellent and large, more than I could eat. Situated on a slight rise, there was a good view from our window on the third floor.

United KingdomIt was on the expensive side compared with other places further up the coast
Great location near the attractions and a view of the bay from the room. Nice sized communal baths. Excellent dinner which I booked late but there was no problem for the staff. Staff could not have been more helpful. Wonderful service at dinner

ThailandAlthough the room was clean, it showed its age.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us like we are an important guest when we checked in. The breakfast was superb. At first, I thought it was a buffet but it was actually a Japanese set meal served in a private room, much better than expected.

SingaporeWill be nice to have a menu detailing what the dinner serves since the ingredients use for the meals are seasonal. The rooms and furnishings are on the older side.
The staff Amazing Kaiseki-ryori dinner and buffet breakfast. Rooftop access gives a good view of the town, but limited view of the bay. The 2 communal onsens are good with the 2 baths rotating between male and female access for the morning and evening.

JapanDisappointed that a hotel of this level had only 1 option of shampoo/conditioner and body soap - with horse oil. This is a no-no to vegans and vegetarians. We couldn't take a bath because of that. If you could provide other options of beauty amenities that are cruelty-free and do not have animal-derived products, I would recommend this place to the vegan/vegetarian community. Otherwise, vegans should bring their own shampoo etc.
Most of all I loved how the staff treated us, they responded to all of our requests. Especially grateful to the dinner and breakfast manager. I appreciate them preparing vegan meals and taking into account all of our food restrictions. Location is great, within walking distance to all the main attractions. The Hotel has an open roof where you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise/sunset view in Matsushima.
