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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Parking was a little tricky to find.
Great option for central Kagoshima visits. It really captured the vibe of Kagoshima with plenty of ramen eateries and funky clothing shops. The people of Kagoshima are far more relaxed and chilled, and it shines through the interactions and service. Close to conbini and shops. It was perfect for me..

The room itself is a bit old and not so clean, I remember a piece of wooden drawer(with a handle) even fell.
Walking distance to JR station, no need to take a bus (I did so I know); A bus station is right in front of the door, Terayama Park can be accessed; many convenience stores are nearby, right amid shops and the mall; My favorite breakfast of this trip, even better than a 4-star hotel in Kumamoto; Nice Onsen, feeling tranquil especially when you're the only one there(possible in late afternoon, avoid after-dinner hour); Washing machine, ice maker, vending machine, smoking room, it's very nice to have these thoughtful and comfy little equipments in hotels in Japan. I went jogging by the river before check-out, the early morning vocano view is stunning!

It’s a little bit loud so you cant sleep with open window.
The onsen is the absolutely highlight! And you are directly downtown near by the port to go To Sakurajima! The service was extraordinary! I had some questions before about the ferries and the luggage Transport to the next hotel when we arrived the very nice woman on the reception have me all the prepared informations for us! Amazing!

My bathroom shower had mold in the corners and crevices of the folding door. Ventilation is poor in there so it makes sense. Their Onsen is not tattoo friendly, but I only had two small tattoos, and they gave me free patch covers for it at least. A++ for the staff.
Just a short tram ride away from stations and tourist spots. Clean for the most part, super friendly and helpful staff. Free goodies like ice cream and noodles. Lots of manga to read upstairs. Free washer, and cheap dryer, both lockable for security, and they work well, my clothes came out with no smell! Onsen and sauna are amazing.

The rooms could be cleaner but I am being picky. The space was quite small but enough for the luggage.
Onsen was really nice but beware, water is very hot, 42 degrees C. There is also a cold water pool :-) The breakfast was really good. Location is quite convenient, in the middle of the shopping district, half way between the Kagoshima Chuo station and the port. The weather did not play along so we could not even see the volcano.

The counter/table area was crowded because of a giant armchair coming up against one of the beds.
Stayed one night on the way to Yakushima. The public bath on the top floor was very nice, and the outdoor bath is open to sky so I sat in the hot water letting the rain fall on my head. Guests get a pair of pajamas to wear around the hotel. The room comes with an incredible Japanese breakfast buffet. The washing machines on the 13th floor are free; dryers coin-operated. All the convenience store brands are within one block. (I left the bathroom door open, which blocked the hallway motion sensor.)
