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.).

LithuaniaWe could often hear noises from the street at night or in the morning, including ambulance sirens. While the interior of the house was clean, the outside area and the roof were not that well kept.
The house is cozy, has a convenient to use kitchen, rooms with tatami mats, and a roof terrace. Great ocean view! The overall experience was pleasant and we could imagine ourselves coming back here.

CanadaHad a bit of a weird smell. Checkin is not at the property which was annoying. Washroom wasn’t ideal as the hot water wasn’t turned on and we had to figure out how to turn it on with no English instructions - it would be nice if more things were labelled in English. No blinds on kitchen window.
Good location, very close to the beach. Fairly spacious. Complimentary coffee packets were appreciated.

JapanIt does seem a little old. I think they can throw out some items that they do not need anymore like some looked dusty and rusty on the first floor and before going to the terrace too.
It’s great that it’s close to the sea and close to some other restaurants and cafes too. Nice to be up on the rooftop as well. The TV was broken so the restaurant where we get the keys for check-in offered us one food and one drink for free.

United StatesIt’s a spacious property with a great kitchen, balcony, and a rooftop terrace where you can chill and watch the ocean. We could also park at the property for a reasonable fee. It is spotless, well equipped, and literally two blocs from the beach. We appreciated the coffee, as well as the excellent selection of cosmetic products in the bathroom.

SpainWe travelled in winter and the apartment was very cold. Even with the airco working full power in heating mode we barely could warm up the bedroom and kitchen. The apartment looks a bit basic and I guess more prepared for summer. The bathroom and toilet need some updates... In any case we only stayed a couple of nights, so it was enough
The kitchen is very nice and has everything you need for your holidays. The beds were comfortable. Location seems very convenient in summer and 20min walking from the center

AustraliaThe Japanese style beds were painfully thin, compared to all of the others I’ve slept on. I didn’t sleep for 3 nights. The property itself was not very clean when we arrived, with hair in the bath and many of the dishes needing to be rewashed. The roof top is unfurnished so despite having a lovely view, it’s not really a useable space.
All essential amenities were provided and the accommodation is within easy walking distance of grocery and convenience stores, the beach and cafes. The western style beds were comfortable and you can open lots of doors for a cool sea breeze.

AustraliaIf you want/ expect absolute silence it may not be for you, there is a road nearby which could be loud for some people, but it is far enough back from the road not to be a problem & if you are distracted with the beach & good company it will absolutely not bother you anyway!
What a gem! We will definitely be back! The beach house has everything you need, fully stocked kitchen (byo food of course), laundry, bathroom with tub & shower, western beds & tatami rooms depending what you like, outdoor furniture for the private rooftop terrace! So clean & beautiful quiet location close to the beach, check in made easy at a nearby hotel with lovely staff who explain everything & have it all in English if needed. Nice touch with the free coffee sachets for the morning too- I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay- thank you so much!

United KingdomThe photos are not so accurate. It was quite a basic and run down sort of apartment. Quite worn out and the roof chairs were mostly old and broken. The pillows were thin and uncomfortable and all the storage for additional rooms was bolted up so we were unable to get more pillows. It was very noisy at night with a busy road nearby and motorbikes racing and roaring their engines all night and right into the early hours of the morning. Everything worked but there was nowhere to hang any clothes and not enough towels. You have to collect the keys from a different location which is close but quite confusing. There was a mix up on the booking and I was down for 1 not two people. This was settled and they promised to drop off more towels which didn’t happen.
The property was absolutely fine. It was near the beach and a few restaurants in a orettt part of Kamakura.

DenmarkBroken furnitures. Not very clean. Why three sinks in the kitchen and a huge bar left no space to actually hang out.
The house wasn't cleaned very well. Also, it felt like an old private restaurant/bar where the owners just quickly tried to clean up and put some fresh paint without actually updating the place. I would call it a very expensive and outdated AIRBNB. No room to really hang out in. The so-called kitchen had 3 sinks for no reason, the chairs were half broken, and all outside tables were broken – which was a massive disappointment as we didn't get to enjoy the view from the rooftop or balcony as things were just outdated, not cleaned or needed replacement furniture. Overall, I have to say that the experience wasn't worth the money, and if I were you I would consider finding another place to rent for your stay.
