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.).

AustraliaNothing.
The exterior presents as a grand traditional inn almost at the foot of the famous shrine Kotohiragū, but the interiors are all in an elegant modern Japanese style. My room was small but perfectly formed, Japanese-western in design and very comfortable. The onsen was wonderful, with a choice of indoor and outdoor baths. Dinner was an excellent kaiseki meal, and breakfast had some served dishes but some buffet dishes so there was a lot of choices. I appreciated the free washing machines and dryers, especially for a short stay.

Beautiful traditional Japanese hotel in a very nice market close to a temple. The people were nice and very helpful, which of course is the rule in japan. I appreciated the free onsen, also with private rooms and the free ramen after 22.30.

United StatesThey are stingy with towels, lol . I wish they had an outdoor onsen. The blue private onsen was the most “outdoor-ish”.
Lovely hotel with many small nice touches. The private onsen rooms (4) were readily available with no reservations needed. Very awesome if you are traveling as a family. Food was pretty good but not outstanding. However the price felt fair.

United StatesThe inn was so beautiful and many wonderful qualities. It's location is in the middle of a lively street full of shops and restaurants and a close (though uphill) walk to a temple. The in-room amenities were wonderful: whole coffee beans, a grinder, a coffee pot and cups, a separate teapot and teacups, pajamas, robes, and any necessary toiletries. The provided breakfast and dinner was delicious, traditional Japanese fare with English menus to explain the nightly courses (though I'd still suggest having a translator app). Last, but certainly not least: the baths were incredible. I appreciate that the private baths did not need a reservation and were all themed differently. So relaxing!! All my worries melted away here.

Best hotel I've stayed at in Japan. Beautiful building, incredibly lovely and helpful staff. Meals were delicious and plentiful. I proposed to my new fiancee here and I'm so glad I did because the staff and the hotel could not have been any better.

FranceThe room was quite small and the coffee machine was broken every morning. Soft slippers would have been nice too. Dinner was served quite fast, which was a bit of a pity as it didn't leave much time to enjoy all the different dishes.
I had booked with breakfast and dinner. Excellent food for dinner, menu changed every night. Breakfast was also good, but for a hotel of this category I found that plastic cups and glasses don't quite match the feel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Close to train station to visit Takamatsu ecc.
