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 reviewThe location was great as there are multiple restaurants within walking distance. The house was very spacious and clean, and the check in process was very straightforward. Our stay was very comfortable, especially with access to heaters
Some of the air conditioner remotes upstairs did not work. Additionally, walking upstairs to the bedroom might be abit dangerous for older people, especially at night

Verified reviewThe location was great, near Hayatama and Kamikura Shrines (easy walk to both). Also walking distance to Okuwa market (about 10 minutes). Easy parking lot behind the property and easy check in and check out process.
While the location was great, the kitchen was not very well equipped (they only have a few cups and a few plates - no bowls, glass cups) also just one knife available. It would be great if they had a dryer, because the clothes don't dry very well there. Also, the kitchen table only offered 3 chairs and the seating option in the living room was not very comfortable. I think they may have missed trash day, because in one of the mornings as we were leaving to train, there was trash in the parking lot and we saw that the large trash can that sits in the balcony was completely full and was not closing all the way, causing animals to grab the bags and spread the trash.

Verified reviewThe hostess is very kind. We arrived earlier than the appoitment and sent the hostess a message to get permission of putting the luggage. When we found the house and entered the room, everything was ready, the air condition was working, the room was clean and cool. Everything was comfortable. The location is good, very close to the HAYATAMA TAISHA. By the way, there is a very delicious ice house nearby-just1-2 minutes for walking.

Verified reviewThe house is lovely, and although it's a bit of a trek from Shingu Station, is in a quiet part of town close to a kakigori shop, and also not far from Kamikura Shrine. As a bonus, I ended up having the entire place to myself, which made it much easier to recuperate from days of trekking along the Kumano Kodo.

Verified reviewBig space, nice living room, very traditional Japanese style. They offer free bicycle too.very nice staff to communicate online. 15minutes walk from JR station.
The toilet doesn’t smell good. The air conditioner is very old. There is a grave &temple just out of the bedroom window so I worry about the ghost all night- this should be told in the hotel description.
