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 KingdomDoor pin code to get in sometimes the buttons wouldn't register the presses, but once you learn the knack of it it's all good, just wait for the beep per button before the next one in the sequence.
Location was perfect, 2 minutes from the train and bus station at Takayama so you can get off the train and dump your luggage soon as to explore which is what we did! Staff less check in and the room was spotless. Bed was located up some bunk bed style ladders so if you're not that able bodied maybe look elsewhere if you struggle with things like that, but it was quite cosy up there!

IsraelWe absolutely loved our stay at KAYA Takayama! The place feels like a warm hug – beautiful design, peaceful atmosphere, and such kind, welcoming staff. Everything was so thoughtful, from the room details to the overall vibe. It really made our time in Takayama unforgettable. Hope to come back one day! Also, the photos on Booking are 100% true to life – what you see is exactly what you get, and even better in person

AustraliaThe only things we didn’t like were the pillows (a bit too thick for us).
The room was so spacious, everything was very clean, it was close to restaurants and main attractions in the town and the facilities in the room were excellent! We were so blown away when we first walked into the room. We loved how big the fridge was and that there was a sauna and huge bath to use. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

AustraliaThe location was perfect. Easy to reach from the station but in easy walking distance to restaurants and attractions. This meant we could do everything we wanted to do through a mix of walking and bus. The room was very comfortable and the bed was a perfect balance of hard and soft. The entire design of the space was slick and very cool.

EcuadorTo be honest, I was swayed by the photos; I expected to have that beautiful bathtub. Although my room was lovely, it didn't have one. As for the location, it was excellent—very close to the train station, so I could arrive and leave quickly and without any issues.

United KingdomStairs to the bed were a little awkward to use, but okay for us.
Really enjoyed this little apartment style room. We watched Suzeme on Neflix in the comfy seats. Location is great with parking opposite. The room was spotlessly clean, very good value. Staff also posted my forgotten electric toothbrush to collect in Tokyo. Excellent and friendly service, despite being self check in.

United StatesThat we didn't stay longer here.
By far the best decision we made was to stay there during the winter. The perfect place to recharge after a few days in Tokyo. The tub and onsen were simply amazing. The room was spacious and had all the amenities anyone could need. Very close distance to the main station as well. Will book again for sure.

AustraliaWe were in room 1, so basically heard every single person coming in and out of the place, including anyone going up and down the stairs. I could even hear it every time someone enters the passcode at the front door. The place also doesn’t get much natural sunlight so it can be quite dark if you don’t turn on the lights even during the day.
Convenient location - only a few minutes walk from Takayama station. Even though the place isn’t really big and spacious, it still manages to fit a sauna and a big bath in there, which was cool. Very relaxing. Very clean and also has quite a few amenities including cooking utensils and condiments.
