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.).

Keiko-san and her team were brilliant hosts. This is such a great spot for exploring Kanazawa. In the heart of the traditional and historical area of Kanazawa. Easy walk to the castle, Omicho Market, museums etc. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit Kanazawa. Thanks Keiko-san

United StatesThe rooms were smaller than they appeared and felt kind of like a new commercial kit renovation. The "courtyard" is essentially a window to an narrow space with a nearby wall with plantings. Nice looking, but not really a courtyard.
The breakfast was great and the staff were helpful. Our room was clean and Utaimatchi was nicely located. It was on a beautiful old street, near the bus stop so we could get around easily.

NetherlandsThe breakfast was a bit disappointing. No fresh juice (just sweet watery fruit drink) and the bread was put in the microwave so soggy and not crisp. The croissant was okay, but just marmalade no butter and the coffee was very bitter, no option for hot milk. For this price, we expected a bit more.
Location is very nice. Staff incredibly helpful. The bed is very comfortable and the room huge with lots of amenities (a washer/dryer, small kitchen etc)

NorwayUnfortunately, when we got there they told us the washing machine (in our room) was broken. This was the main reason for picking this place. With no compensation what so ever, there was no washing done. Also the "the garden view" is basically a 1,5 metre wide courtyard with gravel. With the extremely high quality of most finishings, it's a shame that they spent hardly anything on soundproofing. We could hear literally every word that was said in the reception area as well as upstairs. So if you're staying here, don't choose the "room with garden view".
The finishing of the room was great, as well as the bathroom facilities. You could tell that there was a high quality finish on most things. Great place for families / large groups.

MalaysiaI wish there was more option on the breakfast. they only serve bread, salad and yogurt for breakfast. I wish there was an option for traditional japanese breakfast
I love the interior and it’s a mixture of modern and traditional japan.
