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.).

CanadaWe loved our room but you can hear people on the street. Make sure to bring ear plugs to sleep if you are sensitive to noise, this didn’t bother us.
The lounge was great, with drinks and snacks and activities available. The lady that checked us in was very friendly and even took a photo of our family outside the Ryokan

SingaporeSome minor things: I had to provide my passport at check in. As I arrived before the check in time, I headed out after finishing the check in process. My passport was not returned to me (I also was not careful enough to check). I only remembered while having my meal, and decided to walk back to ensure that my passport was safely kept. I reserved a 10pm slot for the private bath on both nights. On the 2nd night, the reception called to ask if I could go down earlier as there was a cancellation. I was happy to oblige but was given a slightly shorter than the usual 30min time to finish. The guy receptionist also patted me on my arm on 2 occasions. It was a friendly gesture but I didn’t feel comfortable though as it is not usual in japan and I was a solo female traveller. Lastly, on check out, I had intended to keep my luggage with the ryokan till evening. But I was told that they can only keep till 1pm as they will be closed for the day for cleaning. This should have been made know to the guest much earlier as it can affect one’s decision whether to find an alternative accommodation.
I love the tatami room! I had such a good rest. Only thing is there is no window, so I don’t think I could have stayed longer than 2 nights. The location is very nice - near to the bustling areas but very quiet and peaceful.

United StatesIt was a great room, and I liked how the lounge on the ground floor had little cultural activities and refreshments! It was fun to try the calligraphy, paper sumo, and spinning tops. The staff were very friendly, and they were welcoming of us storing our luggage for the day and occasionally dropping by to use the lounge and toilet on the ground floor on the day of check out, even after we were technically checked out of the hotel, which made me feel very taken care of.

AustraliaBathroom slightly cramped, views from room so/so. There is (as advertised) no breakfast or other food on site, which detracts a little from the ryokan experience, but there are many excellent and affordable restaurants nearby that the staff pointed out to us.
Location is fantastic, stone's throw from Senso-ji and Asakusa Station. The half-hour private bath is wonderful. Room very spacious for price with comfortable futons and traditional feel. Staff very knowledgeable about local sights and food, and very accommodating to foreigners and incredibly helpful. Excellent value for money.

Singaporethe bathroom was on the smaller side, which proved a bit inconvenient
Our stay at Ryokan Kamogawa Asakusa was a genuine Japanese retreat. The traditional room exuded tranquillity, featuring a comfortable futon bed for a restful sleep. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly, going above and beyond to assist us throughout our stay. We particularly enjoyed the common area, offering free drinks and traditional Japanese games. Overall, the hotel provided an authentic and memorable experience, perfect for those seeking a taste of Japanese hospitality. Highly recommended.

SwitzerlandIt may not fit the concept, but something like a bigger chair with backrest would be cool to relax during the day. Also, while the location can be seen as an upside, be prepared for masses of tourists at this spot especially in peak season (no worries: in the night it gets calm enough and is not loud).
It certainly was an authentic experience that can't compare with that of a bigger chain hotel. It is located right at one of the most popular tourist spots in Tokyo (Asakusa shrine). The bathroom is rather small but clean and has all of what's needed. Hot water filled up every day for tea in thermos bottle.

United StatesThere was nothing wrong with my stay. The only possible negative would be that the bath is not an Onsen, but that is clearly stated in the description. But you should also be aware to listen for the telephone if you have reserved a bath time because it is a little quiet and you could miss it. But even if you do miss it like I did, he will just schedule the time after it.
The man that is at the front desk is extremely kind to foreign guests and communicates to the best of his ability in English. He even took a picture of me outside of the hotel in front of one of the towers that you can see from the street leading up to the hotel. I got the traditional room with the tatami mats and bed. I was surprised how comfortable it was. And the location is right next to Sensoji, so it was nice to be able to just walk right to it from the hotel.

NetherlandsNothing really. If I had to mention something; there is no breakfast facility with the ryokan, as also mentioned, but this is not a concern, as the neighborhood is abundant with places to eat.
Very friendly staff, also english speaking. Accomodating to already leave luggage prior to the (strict) earliest check-in time and to register a private time slot for the onsen at the premises. The common room downstairs is nicely equiped with Japanese crafts to try out (caligraphy, origami), as well as free coffee and tea. The nice traditional Japanese rooms are exactly as expected.
