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 reviewStop 6 out of 9 on our Japanese honeymoon tour, this was the most memorable stay and our only regret was not staying for longer. The hotel is a collection of reconditioned historical buildings spread across Iga, managing to keep their heritage and charm but still being extremely comfortable and a general pleasant place to stay. The house/apartment that we were given was what I I would think of (perhaps naively) as an old and traditional Japanese home, with a few extra modern amenities such as air con, electricity and shower. Staff were as always, extremely nice and helpful in every possible way. If you do stay here, you would be a fool to miss out on the Iga beef within Nipponia's restaraunt. I cannot describe how good it was. If I didn't have 100 other reasons to return, I would return to Japan purely just to eat this again.
Not spending longer here.

Verified reviewI loved how spacious and comfortable the rooms were—it felt like a home away from home. The wooden bath was a standout feature, with its unique, soothing wooden aroma that created such a memorable experience. The traditional Japanese breakfast was another highlight—it was delicious, beautifully presented, and a perfect way to start the day. The staff were also very friendly and attentive, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the property.
The only thing I didn’t like was the parking arrangement during check-in. We were directed to park at a nearby car park, where we had an uncomfortable encounter with a noisy neighbor who came out scolding. While this wasn’t directly the hotel’s fault, it was a bit unsettling. Other than that, everything else about the property was wonderful.

Verified reviewThis is a wonderful surprise for me on this trip. When I booked this property, I had no idea it would be like staying in an Edo period Ryokan. The staff was unbelievable and natural wood decor was beautiful. There’s also a very stunning garden in the middle of the property that can be seen from the restaurant. My four two-story suite was outstanding. This was the type of state I was hoping for, and it exceeded all of my expectations. Despite having four rooms and two stories in my suite, it was very affordable and I wish I had stayed there a few more nights.
Nothing about this property I didn’t like. Off the charts fantastic.

Verified reviewWe had amazing experience staying at this hotel. The hotel consists of several properties in separate location within easy walking distance. And all the staffs were very helpful and informative. Everything regarding the hotel property and facilities were excellent, very clean and well maintained. Even the breakfast was excellent, too. Definitely will come back and stay here again if we visit the area in the future.

Verified reviewAn excellent hotel, the best hotel of our two weeks stay in Japan. We where in a room at 5 minute walk from the main lobby. The room was installed in an old wooden house with a small but nice private garden. The room was amasing, just as if we were discoevring the old Japan from the books. We have had very warm welcome from the staff, close the the highest standard hotel. The restaurant is SUPER good. For me is is close to a 1 star Michelin restaurant. All ingredients were local. I did select an option to have a match between dishes and various sake. It was a great discovery of the variety of Sake.
Noyhing !
