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.).

SingaporeThe room was small, like those of some city-centre type hotels. There is only 1 restaurant that serves only set western dinner (2 choices). As we stayed 3 nights, we could not bear to eat western cuisine again the 3rd night altho the food was good. The price of meals is high.
The hotel has a sizeable garden that leads to the lakeside. Easy access to Oirase Gorge. The environment is peaceful and calm. Ample parking.

United StatesMy only complaint, and it's a very minor one, is that I would've preferred a Japanese meal for dinner. The restaurant serves only French food, and while it's very good, it kind of loses some of the charm of staying at a ryokan.
Beautiful location, great onsen hot spring, lovely and spacious room with comfortable beds, tasty food.

NetherlandsWelcome was very warm. We stayed for three nights: - Welcome became cooler every day - Do not eat at the restaurant for three nights: you will be offered three times same breakfast and dinner. Dinner options in the little town are limitied/non existent after 3pm, though we had a nice dinner at Hanaotome, which is inside another hotel. Very simple menu though. Last night we bought suhsi in a supermarket in Towada City and ate it in our room.
Quiet location away from "town". Lakeside, though the lake is quite hard to see because of the trees in the lawn. Lakeview rooms are not really useful, since you hardly can see the lake from your room. The alternative view is tennis court or parking lot. Not as horrible as it sounds.

AustraliaBeautiful place, right on the lake. The rooms were airy and light and the outdoor onsen was superb. We didn't pre-book our meals and as we were cycling had no other option than to eat at the hotel. It was a little expensive but the food was superb. A french menu, which was a nice change, and everything on the 5 course menu was excellent.
