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.).

Nothing wrong. Just a mention, the commons spaces are in a different building. They are very very close but doesn't make it "natural" to used them often: "That feeling: since I'm here I will have a snack in the kitchen" so you end up not using it.
The location is great for those who want to stay in town, very close to restaurants, the port and convenience stores. Also, the bed is very comfortable.

I wasn’t sure about the fact that there is no on site staff/reception at first but they manage everything remotely and it works out well. Maybe a parking would have been nice..
We loved everything! The room is exactly as advertised. It’s comfy and spacious, and it has everything you need. Extra extra point for the bathroom! Location is also great, it’s right off the Main Street and so easy to go around from. There is no staff on site (except for cleaners who come daily) but the help they provide through message is incredible.

The room is newly furnished and clean. The only downside is that the room is a bit tiny and lacks a balcony where you can dry the diving gear, but all this comes at a cost. The location is excellent; it is close to the pier and restaurants, yet quiet at night.

Not a complaint, but, prior to check in at 15:00, somewhere to leave our bags would be useful.
We found the room very clean and with extremely comfortable beds. The shower room and toilet were great, and the air-con worked very well. We also liked the kitchen facilities and the tatami seating area.

Nothing, would recommend and would come back to stay the next time we come back to Ishigaki.
It’s very clean, quiet, well-maintained, spacious and conveniently located 8mins walk away from bus terminal. Plenty of good food/restaurant choices near by too. Keyless entry and smart check-in wasn’t as daunting as I had thought! Prompt response to my enquiries was assuring too!

It is specified in the hotel info but the only parking we managed to find was close to the ferry port. The cost per night is between 1200-1500 yens depending on the hours. The fact that the main room has an extractor makes it a bit strange with the climatization system. If you stop the AC and the extractor during the night the temperature rises a lot and the humidity becomes unbearable. If you keep everything running you'll wake up with a headache. I was pretty much turning it on and off during the night.
Very good location. It was clean and comfortable. The place is close to everything (within walking distance), restaurants, shopping areas, nightlife. The shared kitchen is very well equipped and very useful if you want to prepare and have a meal there.

you need to do a self check in and check out, everything is with codes on the doors, (the code from my room was the same as for the main door) fortunately Japan is very safe as there is no staff in the accommodation. There is an additional building next to the room I think is just half finished, the kitchen is very nice for some self cooking but the building needs better care and decoration. however we did enjoyed more than one night and for breakfast also .
The room size is very good for Japanish standard, very good value for the money paid, the location is convenient, close to the main streets but far enough for good sleep at night since the street is quiet.

We rented two rooms, and one was nicer than the other. Certain amenities were not available/working in one room (e.g., tissues had not been replaced, the soap dispenser was broken). It was not a huge deal, but we noticed it since we had another room to compare. The more "neglected" room was also at the top of the building, on the western side of the building, in the middle of summer.... so, pretty hot. Eventually the AC was able to cool the room, but it took a long time.
The beds were very comfortable. The hotel was clean, with pretty decorations, and the location was convenient, safe, and cheap! The rooms were quiet (I did not hear other guests).
