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 StatesThe hotel was far from Mishima station so if you want to save money, take the bus shuttle. We opted to take a taxi and it was pricey.
This was an enormous room with everything you could want. The views were nice from the hotel of Mt Fuji. The onsen was spectacular. We purchased the dinner and breakfast and both were delicious and well served. The staff was friendly and the location was perfect if you want to be near Mt. Fuji.

Australia- Our air con system didn't seem to work very well, and our room was quite hot especially after using the sauna
- Staff were super friendly! - Room was so spacious with inbuilt sauna and private onsen with amazing views! We wish we would've stayed longer and will be back next time we visit Mt Fuji area - We thoroughly enjoyed the set menu for dinner also

United StatesWe are not used to the firmer Japanese beds, but that's on us.
Magnificent view of Mt Fugi from our private Lanai!! Due to the weather, Mt. Fugi had been obscured by clouds, but at sunrise Mt. Fugi View and Private Sauna Ryokan Shizuku really lived up to its name!!! I'm glad we stayed there otherwise, we would have missed seeing Mt Fugi entirely! The staff was amazing, had tea and a snack waiting for us at check-in, brought our bags to the suites immediately. Very friendly and welcoming! The suites were huge! My husband lost his glasses in Kawaguchiko and the front desk called various companies until they were located! And then booked a taxi who waited for him to go in and get them and brought him back! The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we have ever had, all the food groups and all freshly made on site. This is a hidden gem. Lovely lake and local town. So relaxing and inviting! Wish we booked 2 nights! I'd like to attach pictures, but they don't do it justice.

United StatesOutdoor paint scheme threw it off. But definitely a great stay.
We got there a little early and the parking lot was almost completely empty. The outside paint color did not appeal to us and we almost regretted the decision booking with them. However, upon entering our room, it completely exceeded our expectations. Definitely a gem. Best hotel we stayed in Japan thus far.

IndiaMaybe rationalise the price just a tiny bit. I understand we booked during a busy period but it was a bit expensive for 1 night.
The place was stunning, the staff was kind and caring. They made accomodations for our dietary needs. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve stayed at to date in Japan. Most importantly the onsen was life changing.

United KingdomNothing in particular that I didn't like, but would add a word of warning that you should book your bus to and from the lake in advance, as they fill up fast.
The bed was divine, facilities clean and comfortable. The Finnish breakfast (Booking.com inexplicably adds a few syllables and claims it is a Full English) was a delightful surprise.

United StatesBest ryokan of our whole trip .. you literally wake up to Mount Fuji in your bed . The staff , the food , the views and the room were exceptional! Nice way to end our trip with peace and quiet. Make sure you go have lunch or dinner at Shoya right down the street . We had unexpected snow but it was so great ! We had breakfast included and it was so so good and well worth it ! The private onson and private sauna in our room was so great . Do not hesitate to stay here !

United KingdomThere’s a set menu for breakfast (they let you choose the type of egg you have). I’m not a big breakfast person and I don’t love fish (there was a fish soup but I asked for no soup the next day and the staff were totally fine with it) so I’d probably not do the breakfast again if we went back but my husband loved it! The coffee was delicious!
The suite was immaculate and they provided everything we could possibly need for our stay (shampoo, conditioner, face wash, toothbrushes etc) but not only that, the owner of the hotel drove us to the bus station when we were caught in heavy snow so that we could get to the train station after our bus was cancelled and there were no taxis. We were in such a panic and he saved us. The staff were super friendly and helpful and we LOVED the outside bath and sauna. The views of the lake were absolutely incredible and I’m really glad we booked that room instead of the Mount Fuji one because it was cloudy so we loved the views of the lake! We told the staff we were there for our honeymoon and they wrote a lovely note for us and gave us such a sweet gift which made us grin so widely when we arrived! This was our favourite place we stayed on our 2 week Japan honeymoon. We couldn’t praise it more if we tried!
