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.).

Location was perfect. Little small for comfort but worth the stay due to the location., and very economical in the Asakusa area. A traditional Japanese home stay experience which was exciting for us when compared to hotel stays.

PortugalTowels are NOT included, which was such a bad surprise. The bed covers and pillows were not very good. The pillows were stuffed with some sort of seed or cereal, which made them uncomfortable to use, and the covers had some stuffing that was always moving to one side, leaving us a bit cold during the night.
Typical japanese ryokan. The location is very good, walking distance to one of most turistic areas. We were worried if the futons were going to be uncomfortable, but they were really fine (although maybe if you prefer a very soft mattress, the futon may not be the best thing for you).

CanadaThe value for the money is excellent, if you are traveling on the budget but still want a prime location. The Ryokan house from 1960s has great comfortable and cinematic vibe. I stayed in Winter and it was warm and cozy. The owner is helpful and kind. Out of city centre old Ryokan room stays, this is much better than average experience. Off the busy party streets but close enough to be walking distance from all train and subway lines and great day and night attractions.

AustraliaRoom insulation was poor, but the AC and bedding was sufficient. Toilets can be a little cramped for room, and the shower heads are rather low, but could be adjusted to suit your liking. Walls are quite thin and the floor creaks, but not major problems
The Host was great, almost always available when we needed him. The rooms were large enough, and the futon beds were great. Only a 4 minute walk or so from transport, and located in a great neighborhood for site seeing, nightlife and general tourism.

Netherlandsit's a traditional house, so be aware that it's very noisy -- the ryokan was very calm though so I didn't experience any inconvenience.
The location is good, the rooms are pretty. It's a simple guesthouse, but if you need a calm and traditional place to stay i can highly recommend. Somewhere between hostel and guesthouse. Great for couples i'd say!

PhilippinesAs it is an old place, everything creaks (when people walk around). Not a big thing if you're not a light sleeper. My room was mistakenly opened when I didn't lock it. Not sure if the other guest was looking for his room or the shower room. Perhaps a signage for the shower doors might help.
It is close to Tawaramachi station and within walking distance to the shopping streets, Sensoji Temple, and lots of restaurants. The room is big (better than getting a capsule) so it's easy to spread out your luggage. Staff is helpful and approachable, he would show you where everything is once you check in. Loved my stay there.
