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 KingdomDamp smell in room and damp feeling in bathroom - in fairness, we visited in a time of extremely heavy rain, so it may be just have been because of that, which can’t really be helped!
Great location and very comfy bed! The staff were all extremely nice, kind and helpful! They really went above and beyond. :)

RussiaNone! Everything met my expectations.
I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Sunflex Kagoshima. The hotel location is good, the personnel are polite, and all the amenities have been provided. Price/Quality ratio met my expectations. Breakfast was very good as well! Nice choice for those who want to save some money and have a pleasant stay in Kagoshima.

AustraliaIt felt like my room may of had a smoker staying at some point recently. There was a slight Smokey smell, I actually slept with the window open. My room had a humidifier in it which friends room didn’t. The same humidifier that was in the corridor of each floor. I assumed it was there to try to clear the smell.
Very clean, comfortable and great value

ItalyHotel Sunflex Kagoshima is in a good position, not far from tenmonkan station, the aquarium and the ferry, if one wish (highly recommend) to visit sakurajima. For breakfast you can chose among four sets, which includes one traditional Japanese and one continental. No doubt in choosing the traditional Japanese one, miso soup was amazing. Staff polite and available as always in Japan.

SpainIt´s Japan, hotel rooms are very small everywhere (unless you book an apart-hotel), bear that in mind!
The hotel is very well located — just a 10-minute walk to the ferry for Aoshima and also a short walk from the train station and the main city attractions. The Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious! The staff went above and beyond to help us. We had originally booked for one night but decided to stay an extra night, and they kindly arranged everything so we didn’t even have to change rooms. We know it was a very busy bank holiday for them, so we truly appreciated their effort, especially since we don’t speak Japanese and they were still able to assist us.

I asked for quiet room and I got it, which was good. I could not hear the noise from the traffic near the port. Sakurajima view from 6th floor. Comfortable bed. All the necesary amenities. 7/11 just next door. Close to the port, like 5 minute walk.

United KingdomThis was a lovely hotel with a clean room that was a little bit larger than some Japanese city centre hotels in which I stayed. There was an en-suite bathroom, kettle and fridge, so everything one could possibly need. I could not believe how cheap it was considering the facilities provided. There is a 7-11 store next door and it is about 10-15 minutes walk to the ferry terminal from which to catch a boat to the volcano. It is also less than five minutes walk from the tram stop that connects this part of town with the mainline railway station; the station itself is too far to walk but there are restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. I could not have wished for a better place in which to stay when visiting Kagoshima, which is a city well worth visiting

CanadaIt is a standard business hotel so don't expect anything too fancy. A little worn in places.
The staff was helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It is close to ferry terminal to Yakushima. For breakfast you get a choice of Japanese or Western Option. I chose Japanese breakfast which was very good but the western option also looked quite good.

AustraliaHad 3 rooms over the course of my stay due to change of plans, and all had dirty walls, either pen markings or something else. Multiple of the floors' hallways have ceiling underhangs low enough to walk directly into and bang your head on - I'm not particularly tall and it was still a problem.
Located a short walk from the Temmonkan market district.
