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.).

GreeceFantastic Stay – Convenient, Clean & Thoughtful! I had a wonderful experience at this guest house and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! 1️⃣ Great Location: The place is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and close to major attractions. There’s even a Lawson convenience store nearby, making it easy to grab snacks or essentials. 2️⃣ Spotlessly Clean: The room and shared spaces were immaculate, which made my stay very comfortable. It’s clear that the host takes hygiene seriously! 3️⃣ Thoughtful Amenities: I was impressed by how well-stocked the place was—they provided everything from body lotion and makeup remover to deodorizing spray. These little touches made my stay so much more comfortable. 4️⃣ Smooth Unmanned Check-In: The self-check-in system was seamless and hassle-free. I arrived late at night, but the process was quick and easy—no stress at all! Overall, this guest house offers great value with its prime location, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Perfect for travelers who appreciate convenience and comfort. Will definitely stay here again! 🌟

Very very clean, good location for Kumano-kodo. I felt like home. We also went to the restaurant Ajito and I loved the vibe and the food !! A real local izakaya with very fresh fish. You also have other good restaurants near the hotel. My room had a private balcony and also a washing machine on the balcony, it was very useful for my hiking. The hotel is quite small it is not crowded so it is very quiet. Thank you.

GermanyI wished slippers were available in bigger sizes. Also, if you are traveling with a full sized suitcase, there is barely enough space in most rooms to open them
Convenient location with many good eating opportunities in the area. The room and facilities like the shower and lounge area were very clean and equipped with all necessities. Good starting point for traveling. 2 free parking lots are available which seems reasonable given there are only 4 rooms

AustraliaA sweet and spotlessly clean small hotel, stylishly appointed and all looks brand new. Good location an easy walk to Hatayama shrine, Lawson and some restaurants close by. Self check-in with pin code, but staff appeared within a few minutes when we had a small issue (no towels, immediately fixed). Small but comfy rooms, great shared bathroom facilities.

SingaporeMake sure you tell them ahead of time if you intend to arrive earlier than the allowed check-in time. The PIN given only activates on the dot, so you would not be able to arrive otherwise.
Clean stay, but no frills. Kind of an unmanned stay. The adjoining cafe was not opened during my stay. Location was decent enough but not the best value for money.

SingaporeBe careful when going up and down the stairs which is quite steep. Parking is quite limited and we took the only slot left even though we are the only guest.
The apartment looks new and well decorated in a minimalist (MUJI) style. Everything works well. We (party of 3) had the 3rd floor unit which is spacious enough, with attached bathroom.

United KingdomCheck in message explaining we needed a pin was only sent on the day and I didn’t have internet access so didn’t receive it. It worked out OK but would be better if they made this clearer earlier on especially for Sunday check ins when there are no staff.
We were the first room to check in for the day and everything was very clean on arrival. Having laundry facilities was very convenient for us.

ThailandThere’s no elevator. The pillows are so firm and high. (I prefer flat pillow but there is no other option here) After check-out (10 am) you can’t leave your luggage at the hostel because there’s no staff available (There are limited coin lockers at the station). Maybe the hostel should provide english manual for the air-con remote control.
The room and facilities are clean. The location is very good. It’s near the bus stop and the convenience store. And if you wake up early like me and there’s no bus at that time, you still able walk to the Shingu station. The hostel has 4 bicycles to be borrowed with no charge. You can ride it around the city.

United StatesThe room was a bit small, there wasn’t much space to put luggage or hang clothes. Some wall hooks and a shelf would be helpful. I only stayed one night, so it really wasn’t an issue.
The hostel is very clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had dinner at the izakaya run by the owner and had an excellent meal. Every thing is new and in good condition, and the doors lock automatically, so it is very secure.

AustraliaNothing we didn't like. Stairs are a bit steep, so something to be aware of if you have mobility issues.
My wife and I stayed in the largest room on the third floor, and it felt much more like a hotel than a hostel. We had our own bathroom, shower, large balcony, and washing machine (detergent provided), but you need to pay for drying on the second floor. Everything was modern, new, and clean. Beds very comfortable. Check-in is with a keypad code and very straightforward.
