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 owner was very accommodating to prepare vegetarian meals for my wife, and not charging me for the beer either! They had a community donation box on the front desk so we sent the beer money there instead.
There's really nothing negative to say about this property or the hospitality of the owner.
Thank you for your nice comment. I'm very happy that you liked our inn. Thank you for donating to the donation box for disabled children. Thank you again. Please stay with us again when you visit Kobe.

Verified reviewFor the price a nice ryokan experience. Why not a high end ryokan it has all the necessary ingredients for a nice stay. Friendly lady willing to help, nice clean tatami mats and nice breakfast. There is a private bath that is shared with the other guests so you could have to wait for it. While not really an onsen, it is a nice and big bath for you to relax. Location is also close to the station

Verified reviewClose to shops and train station. Front desk staff (Auntie) is nice and friendly.
Old and rundown, refurbished ryokan. A smell of sewage could be inhaled in the bedroom after using the toilet. Creeking sound of the floor could be heard when you walk and when you shut doors. The bathroom/toilet is not too clean. Did not have the chance to use the ofuro as too dark and only open for males on the floor we were staying. Had to go one level down to be able to use communal soak bath for females. We booked for two nights stay but had to change hotel the next day due to some creepy feeling overnight. I had a nightmare and did not sleep at all. A strange experience that made me to book for another hotel on the following day. Bed covers do not look fresh and clean.

Verified reviewIt was clean, and very simple. The pictures are very accurate to what you will receive. The restaurant downstairs was very convenient, and the staff made me feel extremely welcome. I ended up getting the half board during my stay and I got to try so many new items and food I would not have known how to order. Mind you, some of the traditional meals may be off putting for foreigners who are not prepared it - make sure you research first what a traditional japanese halfboard might look like to get an idea. Also keep in mind that this location does not speak much English and you will need to be patient and kind to the staff. Would absolutely reccomend and stay here again.
Nothing to complain about!

Verified reviewI like that there's potable water and the room is clean and tidy.
Some may find the location of the hotel a bit out of the way.
Thank you for staying with us. If you have a chance, please come again. The distance from the station depends on the station you get off at. It's a little far from JR. It is a 3 minute walk from Hankyu Railway. Please come by that route next time.
