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.).

AustraliaA beautiful traditional guest house. We were warmly greeted on arrival by the very kind owner. We stayed in the green room which has a lovely seating area and a view over the interior garden. The bathrooms are shared and very clean. The property is conveniently located on the bus loop with easy access to all the tourist sites. There is also a nice cafe on the street. I would recommend to anyone visiting Kanazawa!

United StatesAbsolutely nothing!
Our host was incredibly welcoming, we felt almost like we were staying at a family's intimate home. The Machiya is beautifully preserved and restored, with modern touches (a shared modern bathroom). Our room with tatami mats and view of the sweet garden was like a dream. This was our most unique stay of our whole trip in Japan and we loved every moment. We only wished we could have spent more time there! If you love culture, art and history, you will find the most beautiful details around the home: flower arrangements, gold leaf painted items, traditional furniture and more. A unique opportunity not to be missed if you are looking for a true cultural experience in a shared Machiya. Walking distance to amazing Kenrokuen Garden!

Beautiful guesthouse that provides an authentic vibe. The food suggestions provided were all top notch local hits, with more options than we had time to try over 3 days. Close proximity to all the big ticket items. Staff were very hospitable even picking us up and dropping us back at the train station which was too kind. Loved it and I'd recommend it any day

AustraliaThe guesthouse has been sensitively renovated to reflect its age (100+ years). It's like stepping back in time with all the modern facilities and comforts. My host was lovely and enjoyed practicing her English with me. It would be a great accommodation option for a small group as facilities are shared...or a great way to get to know fellow travelers.

United StatesWe didn't realize our room was on the second floor and so we had to go down a flight of stairs to go to the bathroom at night... as we are older, this wasn't ideal. Only one plug, away from the beds.
Charming building, has a nice atmosphere as you run into other guests. Small communal area for preparing tea and coffee and heating things up (if you can figure out the microwave...would have been nice to have some instructions in English).

Germanysuper cold ! due to the very thin wood/paper walls you can hear everything (which we knew upfront) but some guests were super inconsiderate - making noises at midnight - even though there is a nightrest! The colour from the green wall comes off - I damaged my trousers that hung on the hatstand close to the walls. As the host only showed up for check in there was no chance to clarify that, felt super anonymous and impersonal. (like providing extra blankets or checking on the guests)
nice style and very clean
