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.).

United StatesAll staff had been really friendly and helpful, but special shout out to my dinner server Takano Saki 高野早紀さん, she’s the best! So sweet and polite, explained the meal very well and made some great recommendations, she made my dinner time extra enjoyable! And the note she left for me was such a surprise, felt very heart warming and sweet when I saw it on the breakfast table! I like almost everything about the hotel, except for the bugs at the onsen area lol. Had a great time here, definitely will come back if I decided to go to Hakone again.

United StatesWe had a few huge ants in the master bedroom which made me feel worried that we would have more throughout the stay but it was not an issue. Third person had to sleep on futon mattress on floor that the team set up which we would have preferred another bed but it was comfortable.
Breathtaking area and hotel. Loved private onsen, room, amenities, dinner and breakfast. Welcome tea and treat was so nice after travel. Kaiseki dinner was delicious in our private dining area. Our attendant for meals was very attentive and thorough. Sitting area was gorgeous and all available drinks, snacks and candy were nice touch. Room was spacious and felt like ryokan style.

BelgiumBe prepared that breakfast and diner are really Japanese (no Western influences at all). So a lot of fish, seaweed, fermented vegetables, miso soup, tofu, mochi, ....). For us it was part of a true stay in Japan but I can imagine not everyone will love this food.
Authentic stay in a Ryokan with hotel services. Boutique style. Real Japanese experience (accommodation, food, feeling). Very comfy room with private onsen spa in our garden/terrace.

My 8 year old daughter said our stay was the best part of our trip (and we had gone to Tokyo Sea Disney and Sanrioland). One of the most memoral/best hotel stays I've ever had.

United StatesThe meal was exquisite and beautiful, but was very one note with protein selection as majority of it was seafood. There was no way of cleaning out the onsen bath after it rained with thunderstorm the night before. The net that was provided was not able to capture all of the debris which were pretty large pieces.
The staff being very friendly and hospitable. The private onsen and location was perfect.

United StatesWe had a great, relaxing stay. We stayed in the Haruka room. The views were amazing and tranquil. The onsen on the balcony was just what we needed after walking 26K steps a day in Tokyo and Kyoto. We were happy to learn that the dinner and breakfast menu changed each day and offered a variety of dishes we hadn't tried before. They offer complimentary wine, spirits, and snacks in the evening. My only complaint is that most of the snacks were candy. The public onsen was stocked with everything you needed. It was clean and serene. I definitely recommend this ryokan. PSA... guests come to this ryokan to relax, please be mindful of your noise level. We had the loudest family seated next to us at dinner, who had no respect for others. The staff was very apologetic, but it wasn't their fault. Please don't be those people.

FinlandNot a negative thing but just a note to fellow non-Japanese travellers. We chose the Japanese breakfast and it was more unusual - however I would recommend trying it since you are there!
Amazing visit! Lovely atmosphere and the overall vibe was just wonderful. Free snacks, the private onsen and the views were our favorite things. Would definately go again, was so relaxing🙏
