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.).

AustraliaThis is not a big issue but the long name of the accommodation being in Japanese characters leaves a bit to be desired, for non-Japanese speaking guests.
I like the location and the provided kitchenete.

JapanGround floor room was very cold.
In a good location. During cold, ground floor room was very cold. After entering the room it was very cold. It took 1-2 hours to get to comfortable temperature 🌡️ Room was clean. No one was there to receive but instructions were clear. Convenient store is near, some restaurants are available for food during evening. We enjoyed.

United KingdomThe mattress was uncomfortable and pillows very thin. Apartment was a bit cold and took a while to warm up, though we did visit in December. Would have been good to have somewhere to dry clothes after washing them
The location of the property couldn’t have been more perfect. Right next to the lake and you only have to walk 2 mins to get views of Mount Fuji on a clear day. The accommodation has pretty much everything you might need including a fridge, washing machine, kitchenette and hair dryer. We really enjoyed our stay

JapanThe air conditioner was too weak to warm the room in November, even though we adjusted it to 30oC.
It is a great place to see and approach Lake Ashi and Hakone Jinja. Lawson nearby there is convenient to buy food and stuff. A good room with full facilities (especially the washing machine is a plus point), and personal hygiene items were provided.

Hong KongThe bed is a bit hard, but it is still okay. There is a small kitchen, but there is no basic stuff like oil, salt, soy sauce, etc. Since it is difficult to get hot food in the early morning and after five pm, we want to cook something. But since I need to buy one bottle of each above basic stuff and only use them for one day, it is not environmentally friendly. There is not even provide tea bags and coffee, so don't have a feeling of home stay B&B.
The location is good, very close to the main town area, and easy to find. The room is clean and tidy.

They have groundfloor unit. Makes it accessible for individuals who cannot carry their heavy luggages up the stairs. However, pls note that it is not fully wheelchair friendly. There is a ledge. Carpark is right infront, there are 4 carparks. Easy to access keys. Heater works well, hotwater has good pressure. Towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes provided. Fridge, small kitchenette present.

United KingdomI too suggested that they change the name here as it does have a western one - but they haven't so this alongside not responding to my messages makes me feel like perhaps they're not interested in being inclusive. There is no welcome pack to translate the buttons on the appliances for example. Like the air con gives out hot air. But I found that out in reviews. They did give me code to locked cupboard which just has one blanket in. Why lock? Lovely and cosy once heat on. The main problem was the bed. We've stayed everywhere from couch surfing to 36 hotels on our adventure and this bed was the worst! By far! It's a brick. And worse still covered in horizontal single sheets that stay on 5 seconds. My son was supposed to have a futon but got basically a duvet on the floor. Yes we could argue that this is a Japanese futon but there was no ribing in it to give it form and it was so thin. We had seen it before in the traditional hotel with ratten reed floor... But even with these special mats not the concrete floor in this hotel we were given two or three each to sleep on. Not one on concrete. It wasn't just middle aged me that suffered me and 10 year old on bed didn't sleep and woke up in pain and of course my son too. The pillows too were substandard. Thinner than most seen in Japan. I would love to say stay here. It does so much right. But cutting the corners with the mattresses and sheets really kills it and there's no way I'd book again I'm afraid.
The host was really communicative and helpful at first so I reached out to them with feedback so I wouldn't have to leave a negative review. But unfortunately they didn't respond so I feel I have to be honest to help others. The place was cute, nicer than the picture with plants and little stools.. a real home from home. Cosy and warm once heat on. Absolutely fabulous location for sightseeing part of our tour after staying on other side with springs.

SerbiaThe bed is extremely uncomfortable. The mattress springs were poking me and woke sore all over. I don't recommend staying here until that is fixed. Some shelves and hooks in the bathroom and in the room would be great as well.
Location is great and the room looks better than in the pictures.
