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 StatesEverything is great!
This is our third stay at the Solaris Nishitetsu Hotel Kagoshima. The location is ideal, around the corner from the main bus station and in front of the Kagoshima Chuo Train Station. The views of Sakurajima, the train station Ferris wheel (lit at night) and AMU mall are unmatched. The staff is friendly and helpful. Housekeeping is excellent.

SingaporeI totally enjoyed my stay at Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kagoshima! The room was fantastic. I had a great view of the ferris wheel and it was spacious enough for a bath tub. Perfect for a soak after walking around all day. The staff at the breakfast buffet were extremely observant and friendly. They recognised me each morning and would greet me so excitedly. It made me feel so welcome. The buffet variety does not vary too much but that also gives you the chance to try certain dishes again and again. The location of the hotel is great because the underpass ensures that you do not get the hit by the weather and it also gives you access to the malls nearby or the train station with your luggage with ease. The staff greeted enthusiastically each time anyone came to the lobby and that definitely added to the comfort of the stay. Access to the floors via the elevator is via card only and that adds to the security as a solo traveller. I was also pleasantly surprised that some of the staff could speak some basic English and would communicate with me when I struggled to find the vocabulary to express myself. Thank you Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kagoshima for making my stay so memorable. I have to add that I actually left my glasses behind and the staff members were kind enough to look for it and send it to the next place that I was staying at. I am grateful for the top-notch service received!

Great location, next to the central station! Great view of Mt. Sakurajima, which is the active volcano, and a view of eruption (smoke/cloud coming out from the top) was a bonus. Great bathroom, and a spacious room.

TaiwanWe like everything at the hotel. Nothing to complain.
I love the location as the hotel is right in front of Kagoshima Chuo Station where we got off from Shinkansen train. The room offers a spectacular view on the famous Sakurajima volcano. Room was clean and neat, the hotel arranged our room at the end of the corridor so it is very quiet and comfort.

SwitzerlandRoom size. For this price I would expect a bigger size of the room. For 2 people with suitcase it's too small. Also the check in experience with the assisted self check in was a bit strange. I do not see the point of this
I have booked a room with a view of the volcano and it was definitely a good idea to pay more for this view. Absolutely great. Location is perfect. Just next to JR as well as airport bus
