Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesI can't really think of anything that we didn't like. :-)
Guesthouse Life Field was a simple yet clean and comfortable accommodation. It's super easy to find and also within walking distance of just about everything you would need to buy or want to see. For example, the train station, touristy area, convenience stores, and Mitsui Outlet Park are all essentially right there. We randomly met the property manager on the day we were leaving and she was very friendly. We only spent one night at the guesthouse so we didn't use the kitchen, but it seemed quite well-equipped for longer stays. Furthermore, the Wifi worked perfectly and we got a good night's sleep. We would definitely stay there again!

United StatesThe kitchen was a bit short for a 6'-3" American, but that's part of being in Japan. It is a struggle to find something to complain about.
The room was clean and comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and had easy access to the train and bus station.

MalaysiaThe double bed was a little small for 2 person, but the Futon came in handy for us to have extra bed space!
Location was great as it was right next to Mitsui Outlet which is connected to Ario Mall and the train station. The apartment was fairly comfortable and clean, good enough for a couple of nights.

MalaysiaI find it quite risky to write the PIN code in the note and stick it on the Lock. Please be careful ! We don't know what people are capable of these days.
It was very convenient. I received an email for the PIN code for the room Lock. Aya san left a note on the Lock where the room key was kept. She made sure to write my name on the note. So, I was confident that the room was the one that I booked.

United KingdomWe were warned about the room size - it's fine for Japan but just expect the size of a hotel room plus just enough space for cooking facilities. For 3 sleeping was fine but I think 4 adults would be too much of a squash really.
Spotless Japanese apartment with great facilities. The washer dryer is very good and hobs + microwave with grill and oven - our stay was very comfortable. Location is great for the station and mall, and bikan district isn't that far either.

AustraliaThe second bed was a futon which we couldn’t fold out as the room space was quite tight, but still managed to sleep on it unfolded. Toilet was unfortunately not the typical automated Japanese toilet, was a normal toilet without any functions.
Great location just opposite the premium outlets. Loved that the apartment had everything we needed, including cooking utensils and fully equipped washer-dryer. The host was also very kind and helpful in receiving our luggage delivered before we checked in.

SingaporeClean and cozy but lighting is kind of dark, in the day you can open the curtain to brighten the room. Didn’t expect the rather high step up to toilet and bathroom which would not be very convenient for people with mobility issues. If you are on the first level, there’s also a very high step into the apartment. Host is very kind and helpful! Small kitchen has everything needed:)
