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 private onsen could have sign saying “do not disturb” as kids were shouting in hallway and trying to open the doors.
The location was amazing! Walkable distance to all the main attractions. The hotel offers both public and private onsen (just 2000 yen charge). Umbrellas and all the necessities were provided!

Personally, if the public bath had an outdoor bath, the hotel would`ve been perfect.
Dinner and breakfast were served in bento style providing variety and not being too much. We stayed in a room with 4 twin beds which was perfect for our family. It is ideally located to visit the central tourist areas. It is a new, clean and modern hotel for budget conscious travelers.

Great location, very close to the station, but still quiet. The staff were unfailingly courteous and when there was a potential problem with the town water supply due to flooding they went above and beyond to make sure we knew and were prepared. The bed was very firm, and the pillows minimalist, but the room was large, and the bathroom very large.

Breakfast isn’t a buffet and it’s the same every day. Completely savoury (including lots of salad) so not to everyone’s taste! Bar on the 8th floor isn’t open to all guests.
Modern, super clean, and really comfortable with spacious rooms and comfy beds. Staff were so welcoming. Onsen was brilliant, again sparkling clean.

Friendly staff, secure luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, great location very close to the train and bus stations. Everything was very pretty and modern. We really enjoyed the public onsen which was really clean and had all the amenities. For a small extra charge, you can also make a reservation for the private onsen at the reception. Highly recommend! One of the best places we stayed in Japan.

Great location near the station, room is spacious and nicely designed with attention to details. The bar on the 8th floor with free snacks, drinks and local sake selections is a nice surprise! Also like the way the hotel shares local culture and shops in the lobby. Staff is friendly and helpful as well.
