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 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):
- 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.).

The room was in a 3/4 (depending on your country numbering) and no lift

All of our staff are very encouraged to hear that you had a comfortable stay. We apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding the elevator. Because it is an old building being renovated, you will have to use stairs to access the building. We hope you enjoy the atmosphere of the old-fashioned building.

Wifi is so weak ventilation system may not be well as my socks didn't dry out at all Although they have heater, the room still cold, i think that's why they offer hot water bag in the bed
Thank you for staying with us and for your valuable feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the Wi-Fi and the coldness of the room. We will try our best to improve. Our guesthouse offers discount services at nearby stores so that you can enjoy the local food culture. Please enjoy the local charm next time. We look forward to seeing you again.

Verified reviewExtremely convenient location. 3 min walk from station and lots of restaurants easily accessible including many with 10% discounts related to hostel. Team were delightful. Female dorm was off back alley with 2 flights of steep stairs so you’ll need to cart your stuff up and down as no lift. Needed earplugs at night due to local night life but not a problem. Hostel bar a great place to meet people.
Four bed dorm included one shower and one toilet to share. Some will use a hairdryer at 10pm, which was a shame. Otherwise, my only request would be to please add house wine to the hostel bar menu!!

Verified reviewI stayed at the 4-person female dormitory for 2 nights, the only thing I regret is not booking more nights here. I dropped off my luggage at the cafe before checking in. When I came back later in the afternoon to check in, the staff helped carry my suitcase all the way upstairs to the dormitory (in a different building but less than 1 min away) for me. The beds are first come first serve, but they are all spacious. I was surprised to see how clean and cozy the space felt. Plenty of room in the shower and toilet, large sink. Great location, right outside of train station and bus terminal. I 100% recommend staying here for any solo female travelers. You also get 10% off at some of the nearby restaurants and cafes. I look forward to staying here next time I visit Fukuyama.

Thank you very much for using our guest house. We are glad that you were satisfied with the easy access from the station and the service provided by our staff. This facility is a renovated old building, and due to its structure, it is difficult to install an elevator. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. There are many shops in the surrounding area that are affiliated with our facility, so you can enjoy the food culture unique to the area. Based on the concept of ``Machiyado,'' which treats the entire city as one inn, we will provide a stay that allows you to experience the charm of the area, and we look forward to your next stay.

The only thing is that dorms are not in the same building as the reception/lounge bar, you have to cross the street. But not that important !

Because there is no wall between the lavatories and the comon area where the beds are, you can't prevent making noise early in the morning.

Verified reviewThe location was nice and the bed was pretty comfortable The price was very cheap for the area
The dorm wasn't separate from the bathroom area (it's basically just one huge room with built in shower and restroom) so if someone took a shower/ blew dry their hair late at night, it's impossible not to disturb others

Verified reviewVery near Fukuyama Station so great for daytrips to nearby places like Hiroshima, Okayama, Onomichi, etc. Staff were friendly and welcoming (even though my Japanese is limited, we managed to communicate okay). Loved the room with its big windows and the privacy of the bunks.
They charged 220 yen for a towel rental, which I found a bit steep compared to other hostels. Also, there are no lockers or lockable cupboards to keep your things-- though everyone was very respectful so I didn't feel worried about this, had I wanted to store my things, the train station likely would have been the place to do it.
