We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesBeds were very firm, and no tattoos allowed in the onsens. We were able to rent a private onsen, but it wasn’t always available and an additional expense.
Excellent breakfast buffet.

Hong KongThe level difference between room and bathroom is quite a big drop, and can be treacherous and difficult for some.
The onsen is large and covered but opens to view of trees, and is a great way to relax and enjoy nature. There is a self service juice/coffee bar inside a reading room next to lift lobby.

Hong KongShuttle bus services is in service in the morning only. Suggest to take taxi from the Sumoto bus center to the hotel.
There are four onsens which are out of my expectations. Each one is unique which provides me different experience The onsen water is a little bit hot, but comfortable. Buffet is great, fresh food veggies and fish from local farms and matket. Tastes yummy. Must try the multi-vegetables smoothie served in the breakfast buffet.

United StatesI thought it was curious that the hotel didn't service the rooms everyday. We were only there for a few days, so it wasn't a huge issue, but I would inquire with the staff if you need your room cleaned and trash removed.
This property was an exceedingly lovely experience. The location was perfect in the little town and very walkable to shopping, bus transportation, restaurants, and other eateries. The location also was centrally located for all the attractions on Awaji Island and I highly recommend taking the SoMa bus if you don't have a car to all the botanical gardens and other attractions on the island. The traditional Onsen spas is a must to try! I have never had an spa this exceptional in anywhere I have traveled to and I highly recommend the spa services. There is an Ayurvedic treatment of warm oil dripping on your forehead as you receive a head massage. The food is par excellence, featuring local products that will not disappoint. Their dessert bar with hand-made ice creams and treats are a delight. The service was exceptional! We had an English speaking staff member, Sara, who made our trip incredibly comfortable. Sara is extremely knowledgeable and assisted us in transportation to our separate airports. I will be going back and brining my husband who needs to experience this sensational resort hotel.

It is what a good hotel should be like. Everywhere is sparkling clean. Room is spacious. Friendly and helpful staff. Fast free wife. Beautiful onsens. Elevators you don't have to wait at all. Delicious and plentiful dinner and breakfast.

JapanI was EXTREMELY unclear about breakfast hours, and missed breakfast. Please be more clear for your English speaking customers! I wish room service for food was available. This onsen is NOT tattoo friendly, but I had no issues by using covers available at Don Quijote. This is not a "natural" onsen. A natural one will use the characters 源泉掛け流し or 源泉100%. This is not a reflection of the hotel or experience, and a misunderstanding on my part!
Staff was SO HELPFUL. I received 5 star treatment for 3 star price. The whole experience was luxurious and relaxing. I also made a last minute change to the reservation, and accommodated an extra person in the same room with no real fuss. I was nervous based on negative reviews, but I honestly believe they were TRYING to be dissatisfied. "The geta are too hard" SIR THEY ARE WOODEN!! An absolutely delightful experience I would happily revisit. The rooms are beautiful and contain all the necessities for a bath. Private shoe lockers are included. I am an overweight person, and they had yukata that fit me.
