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 place was newly renovated and spotless. Good location.
Zero privacy. When booking, it was not clear to me that there are two guest rooms separated by a very thin wall only, and that the shared facilities (toilet, bath, kitchen, living) are far from spacious even for two guests. Plus, the lady who runs the place and lives downstairs came up to collect garbage without prior notification, which further reduced the sense of privacy. Not really recommended for anyone who is not traveling alone. The "living room" is so small that it feels cramped even with two people, and the seats are very uncomfortable. The kitchenette has a tiny refrigerator (like the ones in business hotels), a microwave, a water cooker and a couple of cups, but no cutting boards or cutlery etc. so it is not really possible to make your own food. If all of this was communicated more clearly, no problem, but much of this came as a surprise.
I am surprised and shocked by your very harsh comments. My accommodation is below the class of inns and hotels. I collected the garbage in the morning to make the common space more comfortable for you. That place is not your private space. I doubt whether advance notice is required to enter the common space. Did you not know that the common space was a common space other than the guest room? That's why you left your personal belongings there? The cleaning staff was in trouble. Also, I honestly wrote in the accommodation overview that the guest room is 10 m2, which is small for two people, and that you cannot cook in the mini kitchen. If you had understood the overview, you would not have booked "Fukuroku" and I would not have been hurt. We at accommodation rely on word of mouth. When you make a reservation in the future, I recommend that you read the description of the accommodation carefully.

Thank you for the high score! The building was newly built one year ago. The cleaning staff works hard to keep it clean. You checked out to catch an early morning train. Since the hotel is close to the station, we are confident that this is a highly recommended inn for guests who use Shingu Station. Thank you for your stay.

Verified reviewThe guesthouse was very conventiently located next to Shingu station (about a 3-4 min walk), and the hostess was extremely kind and helpful, even though I spoke no Japanese ! The rooms (with futon bedding) were comfortable and relatively spacious, and the facilities were spotlessly clean. I would definitely recommend this place to any traveller in Japan.
Nothing, everything went perfectly.
You've just returned to France after your one-month trip to Japan. Were you able to buy Tetubinn in Osaka? Thank you for staying with us.

There is also a living hall with microwave, kettle, etc. The location is superb, 5 minutes walk to the station and big supermarket, a smaller supermarket is just opposite the house.

You stayed for three nights. Unfortunately, it was raining in the Nachi area, but the weather was nice at the Kumano Kodo Kogumo Torigoe, so I think you were satisfied. You kept the room very clean. Thank you for staying with us.

The room is on the second floor, very clean,cosy and comfortable, and the cute balcony, decoration and all the electric equipments are new. though small perfectly formed, making me feel at home. The flush toilet is smart, there's a faucet on top of the toilet tank. It well demonstrates the idea of resouces recycling.

Verified reviewUndoubtedly, this place was one of the best accommodations I have been. The place is spotless. Seiko is a Super Host. She was very helpful to my request. Getting out of the train station you can turn to the left and after crossing the railway it is a two-minutes walk, there is a mini supermarket just in front of the accommodation and a big supermarket 4 minutes up the main road. The Villa is so adorable, if you have time for a little stroll, you will enjoy it. I strongly recommend it.
All was perfect

Verified reviewSpotless & spacious room. Shared facilities were also very clean. There’s a microwave, kettle & fridge for shared use which was helpful. The owner was so sweet. There are only two rooms and I was the only one staying on my visit so had the place to myself. It’s across the street from a supermarket & a short walk from train station. All three shrines are also walking distance. Great value as well!
