How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewFantastic Stay – Convenient, Clean & Thoughtful! I had a wonderful experience at this guest house and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! 1️⃣ Great Location: The place is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and close to major attractions. There’s even a Lawson convenience store nearby, making it easy to grab snacks or essentials. 2️⃣ Spotlessly Clean: The room and shared spaces were immaculate, which made my stay very comfortable. It’s clear that the host takes hygiene seriously! 3️⃣ Thoughtful Amenities: I was impressed by how well-stocked the place was—they provided everything from body lotion and makeup remover to deodorizing spray. These little touches made my stay so much more comfortable. 4️⃣ Smooth Unmanned Check-In: The self-check-in system was seamless and hassle-free. I arrived late at night, but the process was quick and easy—no stress at all! Overall, this guest house offers great value with its prime location, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Perfect for travelers who appreciate convenience and comfort. Will definitely stay here again! 🌟

Verified reviewI liked how neat and clean the room was. The shared bathrooms and toilets were very clean which we appreciated. The location of this hostel was amazing, really close to some good restaraunts and within walking distance of shops. We also appreciated being able to park our hire car in the provided car space, and there were ebikes to use free of charge too (although we didn't get around to using them). The staff were friendly when engaging. A good place to stay for a short visit.
Our room was right in front of the kitchenette area, so when people would dine there, it was very noisy and awkward for us in our room. Some people would use the space very early in the morning and wake us up, or very late at night talking which was disruptive. Also when we left our room to use the bathroom or to leave, people would look into our room, and it just felt not very private. The room was very small, and did not have enough space to open even one suitcase, let alone two. This could have been helped with maybe a stand or small cupboard. There were also hundreds of stickers on everything, eg. "don't take this, don't do that, make sure you do this". We counted 15 stickers in our bedroom on basically every surface.

Verified reviewVery very clean, good location for Kumano-kodo. I felt like home. We also went to the restaurant Ajito and I loved the vibe and the food !! A real local izakaya with very fresh fish. You also have other good restaurants near the hotel. My room had a private balcony and also a washing machine on the balcony, it was very useful for my hiking. The hotel is quite small it is not crowded so it is very quiet. Thank you.
Nothing :)

Verified reviewConvenient location with many good eating opportunities in the area. The room and facilities like the shower and lounge area were very clean and equipped with all necessities. Good starting point for traveling. 2 free parking lots are available which seems reasonable given there are only 4 rooms
I wished slippers were available in bigger sizes. Also, if you are traveling with a full sized suitcase, there is barely enough space in most rooms to open them

Verified reviewA sweet and spotlessly clean small hotel, stylishly appointed and all looks brand new. Good location an easy walk to Hatayama shrine, Lawson and some restaurants close by. Self check-in with pin code, but staff appeared within a few minutes when we had a small issue (no towels, immediately fixed). Small but comfy rooms, great shared bathroom facilities.
