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 KingdomI'm pretty sure one of the shower doors was broken and couldn't close securely which meant there was only one shower available. Luckily, it wasn't busy while I stayed so I didn't have to wait. There's only small lockers to secure valuables but no storage area for luggage, I stored mine under my bed (bottom bunk) and the bed sheet covered all around the bed so was hidden which I felt was safe enough for me.
Pleasant enough - had basic facilities to accomodate my stay. Staff were friendly. A short walk from the station and from AEON mall.

NetherlandsYou have to make your own bed when you arrive and remove the bed linnen after your stay. If you make guests do 80% of the cleaning, do you really need a six hour window between check in/out times? Also, sound-proofing is quite bad and air circulation isn’t that great.
Great cafe with a very nice vibe and great food/drink options, nice location close to the train station, good facilities for people staying in the dorm (full kitchen, microwave, fridge, etc)

JapanIf anything, the opening hours at the lobby are on the later side. I wanted to get out early, but I couldn't drop off my luggage at the counter because the open a bit later.
I loved the location, value and staff friendliness. The free drink at the bar was also a nice plus and I met some other people staying there while sitting at the bar.

AustraliaVery little space in the 8 bed dorm rooms, often large bags are left in the walkway within the room from people staying on the top bunk. The bar itsself is overpriced.
Rooms were relatively clean, bathrooms were cleaned daily and were spotless as a result. Communal space was good for sitting down and chatting with others.

United StatesI stayed in the 4-bed dorm. The lower bunk has a very low headspace even for a short person like myself so I could not even sit inside. The mattress was satisfactory, but not very comfortable. The room stayed cool-ish with a/c and a fan, but the communal spaces are quite warm (and it is not summer yet).
Kamp is located 10-min from the train and 30-min walk from the garden. The downstairs bar had s very hip vibe. The staff/owner? Was friendly and offers a welcome drink. Upstairs is a little tight, but clean. Shower was great and there is a lot of information about the area. It was quieter than what I was expecting but maybe only half the beds were full.

IrelandPrivate rooms are drywall partitions, so you might need earplugs if your neighbours are snoring.
It's best described as a bar/cafe that offers accommodation. You may be staying above the bar or in a separate building depending on the room you book.

United KingdomThe bar and restaurant a bit flat and quiet. Food not great. Staff lovely but not helpful or knowledgeable about what's on in Okayama ...live music show etc. Word of warning... Take care with stairs in Annexe steep, deep and narrow...particularly if tall.....hold on to rail and don't drink too much!
Great place to stay. Sadly a bit flat when I arrived at the weekend. No music or atmosphere. Comfortable bed, clean. You are in the Annexe at the side of main building. Nice small social dining area( a bit drafty but hot air conditioner heats the place up) tea and toiletries provided. Washing machine, dryer, basic kitchen( kettle, hob, microwave, toaster grill, fridge) Excellent base for day trips Naoshima etc.

MalaysiaI would have preferred if the dark blue linens were not dark blue as it made the room look darker and less cheerful. But this was rectified with the white linens which I really liked. It made the bed feel and look clean and brighter. I arrived after 7pm and part of the route from the station was through a somewhat dark alley. But this being Japan, I wasn't frightened.
Bed was clean with crisp white sheets and pillow case. It was very wide and the lower bunk bed had a high "ceiling" so it didn't feel cramped at all. Toilets and bathrooms were clean and convenient. Security lock on room door and main door made me feel very safe. The lounge was lively and has a cool vibe. Location was not far from Okayama Station. Overall, good value for money.
