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.).

AustraliaWe paid for the largest room, which was still great value. We watched the sun set and Himehi light up for the night from the upper balcony. The garden next to castle is interesting. Wing is less that 1km from train station, easy flat walk. The Sanyo Department store near station has a great food hall in the basement. Book with the breakfast if you can.

NetherlandsThe rooms themselves are small. We had a twin room. However the size of the room did not really allow for the two beds.
Hotel location is close to the castle. And a short walk from the station. Staff were very kind and helpfull. The hotel itself looked clean and new. The breakfast provided was simple but tasted good.

ThailandMany dust in the room especially in front/rear at TV workplace, the air condition is old and have many dust of the air-flow, it didn't work properly, can't adjust, it is difficult that there is no english how to use, and we didn't notice about the main lighter on the top of the room, we spent sometimes to know that there is remote in our bed head. - we didn't sleep well on that day but the most we liked is bathroom, perfect!
location is good as it near to Himeji Castle and other places. the staff at breakfast seems to rush us to finish it because we were there at 8.55 - anyway it's ok she didn't rush too much.

JapanThe pillows. Dammit I hate Japanese pillows; the ones with beans filling sections on the underside of the pillow. I want soft pillows that I can flip and it feels the same job both sides. But there's little that can be done about that, I suppose. And it's a minor complaint.
Nice room. I liked that the single use stuff was in the lobby and we only took what we needed. I always travel with my own toothbrush and razor, so I see no need for the rooms to be stocked with them.

Location: 5 mins walking distance to Himeji castle. Cleanliness: neat and clean Staff: friendly and helpful Facilities: vending machines are available, and you can see Himeji castle from their terrace Breakfast: nothing fancy, but they got fairly good choices with buffet style and it’s quite satisfying. The restaurant attached to the hotel is quite good too. They have choices of local Sake and local delicacy ok their menu. Overall good value for money.

SingaporeThe Aircon/heater maintenance could be done more often, I checked the filter out of curiosity and would say it's about time for maintenance but it works sufficiently. There wasn't any dust or smell coming out from it so it's still in working condition.
The location was pretty good, straight road from Himeji station exit is is located between the station and castle. The balcony had a nice view of Himeji castle too. The room is neat and clean. Staff were extremely friendly and easily approachable.

AustraliaThe bathroom smelt! Was clean but as there is no ventilation apart from small fan the room smelt. We were unable to locate a switch for the main light so had to pull the door card from power slot to turn off. As a consequence nothing charged overnight.
Easy walk from station and well located to see the castle. The room was good size and beds were OK.
