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 flat is spacious and well renovated. There are 4 beds and can be partitioned into two separate rooms if necessary.
Everything is good except that you may hear some noise about chair moving from the upper floor.

If the hotel can collect the trash daily, then it would be great.

Thin ceiling. Can hear upstairs footsteps between 12-1am. Saw them when they checked out, was 3 thick women. There’s dust along the door trims but that’s ok to me.

Verified reviewThe hotel is conveniently located about two bus stops from Hakata Station, with multiple buses available. It’s also within walking distance of Canal City. The spacious and comfortable rooms(which you can closed to make 2 different rooms) come with a kitchen, washer, and dryer, making them ideal for daily washing and light cooking. With only one room per floor, the stay felt private and quiet. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. The hotel also provides umbrellas for rainy days. A Lawson is right next door, and a 7-Eleven is just across the street, along with plenty of nearby food options.
- The instructions for garbage disposal could be clearer, especially for long-term stays where food waste and personal items need frequent disposal. - Staff enter the room to clear trash, which raises security concerns since there are no locks on the rooms or safes for storing valuables. -while they do offer luggage storage for early arrivals, or early check-in with charges, there are no clear instructions in the lobby, so guests need to plan ahead and inform the staff in advance. - The weatherproofing and soundproofing are poor. We could hear ambulances at night and footsteps from the floor above, and the room got extremely cold in colder weather. - The room door uses a manual lock, which can be slightly inconvenient. - Lobby security is a concern, as anyone can enter the building and access different floors.

Verified reviewQuite good. The bathroom is suberb! The kitchenwear equipment and bathroom complimentary are very well prepare. The room is private as there is one room per floor.
As same as the picture that the place is a little bit small, but still practical for 6 people. It's more suitable for 4 people according to the size of the room.

Verified reviewSpacious, accessible and well equipped with good facilities in each room. Check in and check out procedures are relatively easy as well despite not having a manned reception. Good privacy as well since there is only one unit per floor.
There was supposed to be a baggage storage area since checking in early before 4pm will incur additional charges. However, response from property was slow. Thankfully it got resolved eventually.
