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 rooms were wonderful. Especially the views. We had three rooms as there were five of us. It is a bit out of the way from the town center but that was okay as transportation was very easy to walk to. I would definitely recommend this place. There was a spa, gym and other.

Verified reviewWe 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.

Verified reviewGreat view and breakfast buffet.
It would be great if the TV was updated to allow connections to Netflix, Prime Video, etc. Additionally, many facilities such as the gym, bathhouse, and karaoke were unavailable. It would also be great to have the option to choose between a breakfast or lunch buffet.

Verified reviewThe hotel staff are highly unprofessional. They entered my room without permission, unilaterally changed the payment plan, and demanded that I pay before my scheduled check-out date—threatening to call the police if I didn’t comply. The mattress is as hard as a rock, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The room remains excessively dry even with the air conditioner off and the humidifier running, forcing me to wake up twice every night due to a painfully dry throat. Additionally, the hotel is located right next to the railway, and the trains start making loud noises as early as 4 AM, disrupting any chance of rest. Worst of all, the hotel ignores customer reviews and fails to take action to improve its hospitality, showing a complete disregard for guest experience.

Verified reviewBeautiful 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.
The 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.

Verified reviewThe hotel is located outside Kobe near a train station (about 7-10m walk). There are signs on the train station that guide you to the hotel. The train runs pretty often but less often than in the city. The room with a view of the bridge was excellent. We enjoyed watching the ships and traffic. The hotel itself is magnificent. The breakfast had a lot of choice and was really good.
Everything was perfect!
