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):
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.).

AustraliaLoved the property, from the moment you walk in, shoes off, kimono on, it felt traditional and a true step into Japanese culture. Staff were lovely, and the facilities were fantastic. The hotel was very easy to get to - via bus from Takayama and a short walk through the beautiful natural springs town, even saw some hikers soaking their feet in the local warm stream. A beautiful place, highly recommend. But stay at least two nights. One night isn’t enough.

The location is great, in the mountains above Takayama. The onsen is nice, and there are 4 private ones also. The food was fantastic. The staff is very attentive and speaks a little English.

GermanyNext time, we would come back with a car, because there were only one or two trails within walking distance of the hotel.
Such a beautiful and relaxing space. We loved all the free snacks and amenities. The private hot spring bath in our room was worth the extra money!

New ZealandThe only reason this place is not getting a 10 is the food. It was Japanese which was great to try, but breakfast and dinner, both days, was very similar. It would've been nice to have a change from rice, fish and miso. It is a true Japanese experience, which was great, but we've been in Japan for a few weeks now and would've liked a greater variety of options
We got the room with the private onsen. The room was perfect, spacious and clean. Onsen only big enough for one person (just). The private outdoor onsen which anyone can use (if no one else is), was fantastic and the highlight of the visit

We choose to stay in this resort to enjoy the weather and also to have a better rest after Kamikochi trip and it didn't let us down! There are 2 public Onsen, 2 private indoor Onsen and 2 private outdoor Onsen for you to enjoy without the need to book, can just go in if nobody else is using for private Onsen. the breakfast and dinner provided also is delicious, they even make special arrangement for my friend as she is not able to eat beef. Free drink, snack, ice cream, supper is provided at specific time, there are lift to use if you travel with luggage.

Hotel staffs were really nice and helpful, the hotel was very clean and nice, and the onsen was amazing! We had our own private onsen in our room but we also tried the private outdoor as well and both were amazing. Breakfast and dinner were amazing as well. We love the free coffee, beer, tofu and ice creams. Would totally visit again!

AustraliaThere was nothing we disliked, it was a lovely experience. The rooms were a bit dated but that added to the overall charm.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was nice, we had a hire car but only a short walk to the bus terminal for a trip to Kamikochi. Shops and little village walking distance. We had a room with own hot tub which was lovely but the hotel had 2 private and a public onsen too which were all good. Very traditional rooms with mattresses on floor, comfy enough. Liked the Sumae or yakata and slippers which were provided and all guests wore around the hotel and to dinner etc. Complimentary beer, coffee, sake were all lovely. Dinners were amazing. Breakfast was a bit unusual for us but we tried most of the dishes.

AustraliaThe only issue was the smell of the smoking room could travel up to the guest floors so this was a bit distracting. But understand this is the layout of the hotel.
