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 StatesThe room had a smell of cigarettes. The hotel is in need of renovation. I still recommend it as it seems the best option in the area.
Nice authentic ryokan. Good food. Beautiful view of the river. Very nice onsen. The stuff was friendly. I recommend taking taxi to Ryon glen- short hiking loop in dragon canyon

United Arab EmiratesAlmost everything was good, but occasionally, possibly due to the old building, there was a smell of mold. Also, the station is not very close by, and there is only one small convenience store in the area.
A decent option for travelers in the tourist area of Nikko - Kinugawaonsen generally has a good location, fair prices for Nikko, and breathtaking views from almost any ryokan. However, Shirakawa Yunokura turned out to be not only very pleasant but also very clean and extremely comfortable. Although the building looks quite old, everything inside is very nice. The 24-hour onsen is a great option when you want some alone time. Alternatively, you can book a private onsen to enjoy with your loved one. The kaiseki meals are served in separate rooms, with plenty of delicious food.

New ZealandThe air conditioner is too loud. A bit far away from the train station and don’t offer shuttle bus. (You need to purchase 200yen bus ticket to catch a local bus)
Unlimited access to the public bath from 3pm-10am. Beautiful view of the room. Great helpful staff. Nice food with nikko local ingredients.

AustraliaNil.
Large room spaces, comfortable futons, bathroom tub and shower were convenient, terrific dining in separate private room, all-night access to indoor/outdoor (separate gender) onsen was useful, wonderful customer service. In particular, the waitresses (dheika and her colleague from Vietnam) were always so kind and attentive. Huge meals. Easy free parking and very close to Edo Wonderland and forest walks. Nice to be in an older style traditional ryokan rather than the bigger glitzy hotel next door.

United StatesHard to justify the price for what was provided. The breakfast was well worth the price, but the property itself was very dated and showed its age. The bathhouse was nice, but it was just nice.
Great little ryokan by the river. Rooms felt very private, and a bit rustic. Breakfast was exactly what you would expect at a traditional ryokan. Staff were very accommodating, and tried their best to make sure i was satisfied, despite the language barrier at times.

Canada15min walk from Kinugawa Onsen Station (there is a dial bus available every 20min, ¥300, reservation only, book early or morning times get filled up).
Rooms are bigger than in pictures, great layout and amenities! I love the little basket you can take to the onsen. Both private onsens, wood and stone were gorgeous. If you’re going in the summer time, there will be mosquitoes so choose your onsen time wisely. They were okay with small tattoos for the public baths. Massage chairs to use free of charge and there’s a milk vending machine outside the gift shop. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic, so much variety and meals are different the next day. We were always so full after!

Australiawhile the town and hotel are a bit retro our stay here was superb. I think we were the only non Japanese guests during our stay and they made particular effort to have English speaking staff to greet us when we arrived and at breakfast. the room was beautiful; the furnishings are funky and the views were great. all you hear at night is the rushing of the river. the onsen was super, especially the outdoor bath. I could have soaked there all night. we didn’t get dinner there (went to Tomo sushi, yummy and an easy walk away) but the breakfast was great so I’m sure dinner would be too.

United StatesGreat ryokan with a pervasive Japanese aesthetic that made everything feel very special while still having plenty of the amenities of a regular hotel. Easy walk from the train station across the cool bridge and the oni stairs. I highly recommend eating there as well since the private dining and great Japanese style meals were also quite excellent. Onsen was also nice, and the couple of massage chairs outside bathing area were a nice bonus. The room we got was pretty spacious for the two of us. A super nice experience overall!!!
