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):
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.).

AustraliaMattress was moderately hard and pillow was like a block of wood. Parking was advertised as available, however, it was 3 blocks away. Mattress was moderately hard and pillow was like a block of wood. I booked 2 rooms and had a booking.com special rate, but noticed later the staff had charged me full rate. Too hard to dispute given the language barrier.
The onsen was fantastic. Laundry facilities cheap and highly appreciated. Free Hershey's icecreams after the onsen surprising and enjoyed.

United StatesThe old men manning the parking elevator were hostile, aggressive and unkind. They tried to insist I stash my rental car in there (rather than parking for a few minutes outside while I checked in), even though I told them I needed to return the car soon. When I went against them and parked on the street in spite of their insistence, they literally chased me into the hotel lobby.
Honestly, my stay at the hotel was great—just like any other Dormy Inn in Japan. Well, except for one not-so-great staff member.

SwitzerlandMy room wasn’t very big and the bed was right next to the window, so that you could get into it from only one side. The furniture was rather simple.
The breakfast selection was really good and the location excellent. The onsen was great and the staff very helpful with fulfilling a request. It was also quiet on my floor.

United KingdomThey have a strange system regarding room make-up and towels change. You need to press some buttons to request that. However, due to some hotel staff misunderstanding, my room ended up but being cleaned for my whole stay, 3 nights!!! Staff was nice and understanding though, after I complained at the reception desk they gave me some compensation.
Very good location. Good size room.

SingaporePrice on the higher side but probably due to the location & friday night.
Walkable distance (5mins) from JR station. The communal bath area was nice as it is located at the rooftop especially the outdoor one. Room was big and clean, bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly. I was able to deposit my luggage to stay overnight in one of the nearby islands and return for another night stay.

PhilippinesI really liked the onsen. The view from our room looked like a painting. The parking lot is also great for winter as it is indoors. Lots of basic amenities for a budget hotel. The only thing I disliked are the hard pillows.

SingaporeNeed to improve communications on the onsite-parking for car. I had the impression that there was no lots and parked further away. Then after I returned to the hotel, the front staff told me that I could inform the parking staff and they would find a lot for me at the second parking site. The rooms seems abit dated but acceptable since Wakkanai isn't considered a key tourist destination.
A short walk away from the main JR station. It is a hotel that seems to be a favorite amongst Japanese tourist for its onsen. The free ramen for supper is a lovely touch especially when the town shuts down at night.

SingaporeThere is nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect.
Perfect location, within walking distance to JR station and convenience store. The hotel provided supper at night and coffee machines at lobby. There weres an onsen on the 10th floor, and they also provided free hokkaido milk ice cream for hotel guests. Room size was spacious. Staff was friendly too. The glass bottled milk in the vending machine was delicious and cannot be found anywhere else in hokkaido, must buy to try it!!

We stayed here for 2 nights on November 2023. Excellent hotel facilites includes Indoor and rooftop Onsen, free laundry, free office, free noodles at night. Staffs are very polite and cheerful. Although they cannot communicate with English, they try their best to use translation tools and body language to explain various issues with you. Walk 10 mins to Wakkanai JR station very convenient.
