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.).

SingaporeThe location is quite far from Kobe city center, about 35 mins away.
We were travelling as a family of three. The room was spacious and comfortable for all of us, and the view from the room was absolutely stunning. Overall, it was a great experience. The only downside is that the location is quite far from Kobe city center — about 35 minutes away.

IsraelThe spa is closed until the spring season. Little bit tricky to get to the train station, but it's only for the first time. It would be better to have an air purifier in the room to reduce the amount of dust.
Beautiful view from the room that is worth everything. Also the room is very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is perfect! On-site parking, which was free of charge.

JapanThe last room we stayed in needed serious renovations. One of the mirrors was badly stained. So was the carpet. The beds are not very comfortable.
The hotel room is big. The staff is friendly and tried to accomodate those of us who couldn't speak Japanese. The housekeeping does a good job with cleaning. We have stayed here 3 times now and it's an okay hotel.

United StatesThe hotel is close to the Maiko train station, but due to the location and size of the property, you will need a cab as walking to it isn't practical with luggage. Thankfully, we found one despite our late arrival time.
Nice big resort style hotel with well tended landscaped grounds and great views of Awaji Island and its famous bridge. This is an older facility, but it's in great shape overall, and our room was large and comfortable. We could even open the window overlooking the water and let the breeze in. The breakfast buffet is impressive and quite popular, so plan accordingly.

AustraliaBeds were hard and we found them quite uncomfortable. Available WiFi was unsecured. Only restaurant for dinner was 5000 yen per person buffet. Breakfast was 3000 yen per person and we didn't try it.
Gorgeous bridge view and easy to catch the highway bus to Awaji from Maiko station. Large twin room, slightly old but very clean. Instant coffee in the room. Not far to walk from Maiko station, follow the signs and use the elevator to get up the hill. Basement onsen quite nice but my skin was itchy afterwards. Can open window for fresh air. Four front loading washer/dryer combos with paid soap dispenser. I find these machines take a very long time and don't dry well.

JapanA lot of things closed early. The bar and spa both closed around 11. I also wished there was more info given about where the best place to view the bridge was or the rules for the spa. The dresser and tea kettle in the room also looked quite beat up.
Very convenient location right next to Maiko station, I had a work conference on Awaji the next morning. The breakfast was great and the hotel was very nice. The room was a comfortable size.

Austriathe japanese style room we got didn't really meet my expectations regarding maintenance and service (some shoji screens missing, not the service i'd expect at a ryokan), so will choose western style room for my next visit
nice hotel, with japanese and western style rooms; in walking distance of Maiko Stn and Akashi bridge, easy ride to Sannomiya or Himeji (though i did choose the location for easy access to colleagues); very spacious room (as i knew from previous stays) and nice bar to spend an evening overlooking Akashi bridge and chat to colleagues
