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.).

BelgiumIt’s a pity that tattoos are still a bit of a taboo in onsens, as many Westerners (and other cultures) have them.
Exceptional staff, all of them were highly attentive and kind. Outstanding Japanese dinner and breakfast. Our room was Japanese style, and it was gorgeous. Best hotel experience we had in Japan. 10 out of 10, would go back if visiting the area again.

AustraliaIn our room the living space and the bedroom were separated and the sofas in the living area were not terribly comfortable nor were they conveniently positioned.
The food (dinner and breakfast) were of highest quality Japanese fair and truly exceeded our expectations. The meals were served by very attentive staff and were a very pleasant experience. The big baths were good but the water temperature was slightly on the low side. Outdoor baths were good.

AustraliaThe interior was a little dated so could do with a refresher and the hotel is a bit isolated so might be hard to get to without a car.
The room was spacious and clean and the futon was very comfortable to sleep on. Quite a couple of different onsen that you can try and both public and private were clean and well-equipped with skincare and amenities. (Private onsen were not free to book, they were 3300-4000 yen per 50 mins.) We had a good variety of food for breakfast and dinner, both of which were delicious and looked amazing. Staff were very helpful and always tried their best to assist us even though they spoke limited English. There is free parking available onsite if you drive.

AustraliaThere was a very strong smell coming from the mat flooring in our room which we had not experienced when staying in other ryokans. The carpet in the hallway near our room was soggy from a leaking air conditioner. We had to walk past the smoking room and the smell wafting out each time was unpleasant. The air con in our room was very noisy. Luckily the weather was cool and we could turn it off to sleep. When we booked the only option we had was the package with the traditional room including dinner and breakfast. The meals were laid out beautifully, presented like a work of art but unfortunately there was no alternative food if some of the traditional food was not to our liking.
Our traditional room overlooking the garden was absolutely beautiful. The onsen was fantastic! Very clean and as westerners we felt very comfortable using it. The staff coming in to lay out the futons each evening while we were at dinner and then rolling them away each morning while we were at breakfast was a treat. The driver being available to pick us up from and drop us to the train was a great advantage.
