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.).

JapanThe online checkin needed all the guests detail info including passport copy, phone number and address. It's just too much and no hotels need that. Concern over over-collecting personal information

AustraliaIt was not the owners fault,but the people in the unit next to us in the complex partied two out of the three nights until late, two out of the three nights we stayed. On a personal note, I have realised that sitting on the floor and sleeping on futons is beyond the capacity of my old back!!!
Modern, well appointed and in a fantastic central location. Close to all transport, restaurants, cafes and shops. If you need a Lawson, it is next to the previous train stop (near the Open Air Sculpture Museum) or an easy 10 minute flat walk.

United StatesThe futons were very thin and hard and uncomfortable. We stayed at multiple other traditional properties in Japan with much more comfortable futons. The walls are thin and you can hear the neighbors quite a bit. Otherwise quiet / away from traffic etc.
Amazing location right by the Gora train station. Easy walk to restaurants and transportation. Having 3 levels was nice for some additional privacy and two bathrooms. It was also very nice to have two TVs and a large dining table. Great for a group.

New ZealandThis property is in a superb location, probably as good as it gets but also nice and quiet (you can hear the neighbours going up/down stairs but a quiet location) and so handy to transport to explore everything you want to see. After staying in smaller places which is pretty normal for Japan, it was lovely to stay somewhere bigger where we could spread out. Great fr families.

SingaporeNothing all good. But take note that because each guest has to wash their dishes and return them to the cupboards, it’s probably best to wash the dishes before using them as there is no way to verify the previous guest has washed them thoroughly.
Excellent location, very well maintained and clean. Modern. Host also has included a free parking spot at a car park a short walk away.

SingaporeIt would be better if a dryer was available for after washing. The washing machine has dryer function but it didn’t worked that well. Small issue tho if the sun is shining bright. One Other observation is that not many choices available for dinner as most of the nearby restaurant closes by 5pm. But you could always take a train ride one or two station away for dinner.
The apartment was very clean and everything we needed were available. The location is literally a stone throw away from Gora station, it’s very convenient. And if you drive, parking lot is just 2 mins away.

NetherlandsOnly one small comment: the little windows on the upper floor (where 3 futons can be placed) cannot be covered, so the light wakes u up early. Should be easy fix. Be aware that if u stay for a few days, u depend for groceries (breakfast, etc) on the Lawson which is one station back (10 min walk). Easy and pleasant walk.
If u go to Hakone area, Gora Park ia great starting point and this location is very central in ahora Park, just 200 meters around the corner of the station. Place is very clean with great beds and futons. For a family of 5 with three 11-17 kids, it was perfect. Itoh Dining by Nobu is a lovely place for a special dining experience. The open air museum (on walking distance) is one of the most beautiful I have ever visited: a must see!!!

United StatesVery close to the train and bus stations. Two minute walk to the tram to Hake Railway. Restaurants within walking but the town closes up by 6! Clean apt. Was not expecting four small floors but the stairs were not a problem for us. The beds were fine though the floor mats were not comfortable for adults. The Japanese style house was fun but we did decide we prefer sitting on a couch over the floor. : )

AustraliaThe staircase is skinny and steep, and the upstairs sleeping space is a bit of a low ceiling.
Excellent location right next to Gora station with very easy access by train to get there, as well as an easy way to get to the ropeway. Great ammenties with a full kitchen and washing machine. The balcony has a nice view of the surrounding mountains. It has a good sized living space with adequate room for 4 adults complete with TV and a set of board games. The pincode access door was good for easy entry and being able to split up as a group while out and return to the property at leisure without the hastle of carrying a key. The airconditioning was powerful and effective. The staff communicated very well through booking.com.
