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 reviewA dream hotel by the sea! From the start, we felt welcomed and at ease. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable—just what you want for a relaxing coastal escape. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready with a helpful tip or a warm smile. Breakfast was generous, and the on-site restaurant served tasty local dishes in a laid-back atmosphere. We really appreciated the hotel’s approach of involving local staff—it added a personal and authentic touch to the experience. It’s a new initiative, but already feels like a great success. Extras like free kayaks and easy car rental made exploring the island effortless. And best of all: just a one-minute walk to the beach!
Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, local touches, and nearby beach. It’s great to hear the kayaks, car rental, and restaurant added to your experience. We hope to welcome you again on your next trip to Ishigaki. Warm regards, Sky Ocean Ishigaki Team

Verified reviewWe liked a lot about the friendly and very helpful staff. We also enjoy the beach that was basically our private beach with millions of hermit crabs. The room was spacious and very well maintained. The restaurant was also good!
Nothing really. Location could be a problem for people who want to stay near the city, but great for us who wanted to be in nature.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the calm atmosphere, the beach, and your room. It’s also nice to know our team and the restaurant made a good impression. The location isn’t for everyone, but it’s great that it suited what you were looking for. If you ever feel like coming back to the quiet side of the island, we’d be happy to welcome you again. Best regards, Jordy and the Sky Ocean Ishigaki Team

Verified reviewThe facility is great, there is a pool, an onsen and an outdoor shower to rince your stuff if you went to the beach / snorkeling etc. The staff is very helpful: they answer all questions promptly both by messages and on site. They offer to make the bed in our Japanese room, and being pregnant with a toddler to manage I was grateful for the opportunity. The restaurant is nice.

Verified reviewComfort and size of the room. Friendliness of the staff
Would be nice to sell some biscuits, snacks, chocolate or drinks like a little convenience stall since location is a little remote
Thank you for your suggestion! We understand that our remote location can make access to snacks and drinks more challenging. While vending machines can be complex to manage in Japan, we are planning to introduce a small selection of snacks and beverages at the reception. This will allow guests to easily grab what they need for a more convenient and comfortable stay. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to experience these enhancements.

Verified reviewThe hotel did its utmost to make me book a car, unfortunately my translation of my driver's license was not enough. Because with a car there's a lot to do here. With no car it's still fine though, there is a bus twice a day. The room was very big and I had a fabulous view on the sea. The hotel has a small onsen, with a balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast is eaten in the café on site and the Japanese breakfast was tasty, as was everything else I had for dinner. Everyone was super friendly! The beach in front of the hotel is endless with no other people except the hotel guests.
Thank you for staying at our hotel. Although it is a little inconvenient in terms of transportation due to its location on the beachfront surrounded by nature, we are pleased that you were satisfied with your stay. We also appreciate your compliments on the hotel and restaurant. Please come visit us again when you come to Ishigaki Island.

Verified reviewThe hotel is located 50 meters from a beautiful beach in a remote area, making the sunsets incredible. Our room was spacious and well equipped with a view on the green mountains and partly the ocean. It was also possible to book a timeslot for the private Onsen, which had a balcony with ocean view included. Especially the staff was kindhearted and supportive, making our stay exceptionally pleasant!

Verified reviewThe room was a good size with a lovely view of the beach. We could see the sunset in the evenings from our balcony which was lovely. The staff were very friendly. The beach was conveniently located , clean and quiet. Breakfast was superb! We had the Japanese breakfast which included soup , rice , grilled fish , salad , pineapple , egg , tofu , yoghurt , coffee and juice. It was healthy, fresh and filling. We hired a car from the airport and there was free parking at the hotel and you can drive easily to the main sights on the island from here.
Expensive
Thank you for your feedback. As the new owners, we are committed to enhancing the value of each guest's stay. We are actively renovating the property, improving services, and introducing new amenities like car rentals and airport pickup/drop-off, to ensure a better experience that justifies the price (which are on the average to lower end for similar properties in the area). We hope to welcome you back in the future to experience these positive changes firsthand. Warm regards, Sky Ocean Ishigaki
