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.).

NetherlandsN/A - the stay was perfect
We had an incredible time at Yoisama House! The location was perfect – peaceful and convenient, with a private path to a beautiful, uncrowded beach. We loved how much equipment was provided, from snorkeling gear to everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-maintained, offering more than enough room for everyone. The snorkeling options nearby were fantastic, adding a touch of adventure to our trip. A special mention to the host, who was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and hospitality really stood out. We highly recommend Yoisama House and would love to stay again in the future!

United KingdomGreat location, beautiful chalet with all facilities and very comprehensively stocked up. Ikumi is a fantastic hostess who was helpful, very kind, charming and always ready to help us when we needed to book places. We were unlucky with the weather but despite this we enjoyed the beach which is only a few metres from the house and the beautiful scenery. Ishigaki and Yoisima are definitely places we would like to return to.

United StatesN/A.
The host was beyond kind and attentive to our needs. She communicated with us thoroughly and made sure that we had information ahead of time. Her English was amazing and it was extremely easy to communicate with her. The house itself was spacious and had SO many great amenities for our family. They had extra water toys, water shoes, plenty of towels, etc. Out of all our accommodations during our stay in Japan I think this house was our favorite.

JapanProperty has 3 rooms, full kitchen and dining space with tv. The kitchen has a lot of condiments such as oil, salt, sauces etc. The pillows and beds were very comfortable and each room had an aircon (thank god!). The house comes with great amenities such as washer/dryer, bbq, snorkels, flippers, beach towels, canoes, life jackets, sunscreen, balls, baseball mits etc. that were free to use. It was perfect for us as we used the snorkels and flippers! You can take a short walk through the bush to your own private beach. We tried to canoe but winds were too strong and the owner said there are usually sea turtles around in the morning. We also saw fireflies at night ! There’s lots of birds and wildlife around. The household gecko might pop by and say hi. The location was great as it was inbetween the south and north of the island so destinations weren’t too far of a drive from the house. The sister house ‘sunset beach house’ I believe is more new and bigger judging by the photos so next time we’d like to stay there!

JapanThere was really nothing to dislike. For some people, it might seem isolated, but the island is small, so you can drive to supermarkets easily.
The location is fantastic if you want a quiet, relaxing trip. The beach is a 1 minute walk through a jungle like path with loads of wildlife. We saw owls at night and tropical birds in the day. The front yard has tropical flowers and banana plants with neatly trimmed grass. The house itself is a log construction but professionally built. I wondered how clean it could be inside being a wooden house in a tropical climate, but we were very impressed. It is kept very clean inside throughout, the bathroom and toilet were spotless when we arrived. The kitchen, living area, and bedrooms are also very well kept and clean. There are some snorkels and fins for swimming which are free to use. The snorkeling off the beach at the back of the house is very good with many species of tropical fish. There are better snorkeling spots on Ishigaki, but this is still great, and it's in the back garden of the house! Finally, the host who greeted us when we arrived was very enthusiastic, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. She set the tone for our time on Ishigaki, which was brilliant from start to finish. Will definitely be coming back.

United KingdomThe sunrise beach house is a magical place, the house was kitted out with everything you could need, the kitchen was full of equipment and there was fun equipment to use from flippers and snorkels, canoes and an amazing BBQ. The walk through the ‘jungle’ to the the beach was so special and we only saw 2 other people there the whole time.

United StatesOnly issue is the construction next door. During the day it was a little noisy, however we were out most of the day and in the evenings and mornings it was very quiet and relaxing.
We had a wonderful stay at the beach house. The property is in a wonderful location, with the jungle lined walkway to an almost private beach. The property itself is comfortable and roomy, with everything you need for a great stay. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Ishigaki is also a beautiful place to visit.
