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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

JapanThe only thing I can say is, that when we first arrived, there was a strong smell of cigarettes in the bathroom. It lasted for a few hours but then it was gone. Other than that, perfect.
The apartment is clean and modern. Excellent in every way. Modern appliances, good TVs, comfy beds, good heating, everything working properly, high-quality stuff everywhere! The location is very good - steps away from Gora Station, from where you can go to most sightseeing points in Hakone. Walking distance from the Open Air Museum. The pancake place next door is a great choice for breakfast!

SingaporeWe arrived on a very cold night and the air condition took very long to warm up the whole place. A suggestion will be to switch on the heating for the confirmed guests to arrive to a nicely warmed up house.
Location is great. Walking distance to Gora station where you can take directly go ahead to take the Hakone Ropeway. The Hakone Free Pass is value for money.

MalaysiaHouses and streets are narrow compared to our previous stay in Kawaguchiko. Staircase is steep. Not suitable for those with big luggage.
Small but complete with everything you need. They even prepared toys for kids to play with. My kids had fun. Plan to go for onsen nearby but all didn't accept walk in except stay in guest. Owner was so helpful to find and recommended for other public onsen, however due to time limitations we didn't get to try it. Will definitely try out again in next trip in Hakone.

SingaporeThe house felt cold, and heating didn’t effectively warm up the entire house evenly. We were uncertain if the pillows were clean as we were not provided with new pillow cases to put on. We had to lay our own futons, and were uncertain of how to do so - would be good to have clear and visible instructions on this.
Very convenient location, fuss free check in process with clear instructions given in email. There were ample futons for us to use, property has board games and Netflix for entertainment, kitchen is decently equipped along with kids tableware. The hot tub was fantastic as it even had a reheating function to warm the bath up again whilst soaking in it.

SingaporeThe location of this apartment from Gora Station is just 3-5 mins walk but note that the walk is actually an upslope from the station. If you are carrying heavy luggage or travelling with elderly, do consider this. Otherwise, the apartment is clean and good enough for 4 people. There is 1 toilet without shower on the ground level of the apartment and another 1 toilet with shower on the second level. It will not be sufficient for 8-10 people staying as you will need to queue for the toilet with shower whenever needed. It was fine with my family as we only have 3 adults staying in the whole apartment.
