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.).

Not sure if the hotel can be blamed for that, but the breakfast in the rooftop restaurant is not worth the money. A smallish plate with salad and some cold cuts, plus bread and croissants, and that’s it. The view was great, though…
Nice hotel, clean and comfortable, located in a lively neighborhood (but quiet inside the rooms).

Very nice rooms in new-ish hotel with great location. I wouldn't hesitate to book this hotel again for another trip to Kagoshima. The view's are also very nice, especially on a higher floor. Great for families with toddlers too, since the beds are very spacious.

The breakfast was very very disappointing. I stopped taking it after the first day. If there is a no breakfast option and it's cheaper that's your option. They didn't service the room in 3 nights although they do change the towels and remove trash.
Larger room than many for the price. Microwave and fridge on room. Laundry facilities. Location. Super clean and modern. Smart check in and out so you don't speak with any staff

Like most new trendy properties the entire check in/out process is entirely self-serviced on the top floor. Would have been nice to have someone available at a reception welcoming and attending to guests at the ground floor.
Feels very new, great design and luxe finishings. Highlight would be the private onsens available for booking with charges.

I found the self checkin in to be a bit of a time-suck and the staff took me through the whole process again. Was hard to get good local info from staff when we asked about getting a taxi, but they were friendly and tried their best. It’s a lovely modern comfortable hotel nonetheless, recommended.
Loved our big, clean, comfortable room with view of the volcano. Fun area with lots of little bars and restaurants and a good supermarket across the square (on a corner). Interesting city to visit—don’t miss the Sengan-en house and gardens and the ferry to Sakurajima, with good 3km hike along the waterfront from the ferry.
