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.).

AustraliaIt was inconvenient at times to have to share a shower with everyone else in the accommodation. It would be nice to have some chairs or a small couch in the Japanese style rooms as well.
Appreciated that there was a washing machine and some racks to dry your washing. The communal area was nice and spacious and the seats were nice to relax in.

South KoreaI don't have any complaints about this place. However, the price was a bit high. Internet speed also fluctuated sometimes during my stay, which I didn't like.
I stayed here during the winter of 2025. It is a nice place to stay. Everything was clean and nice. About 2-3 min walk from the nearest train and bus stop. The location is really great. Easy to locate. There is a convenience store next to this place.

United StatesFirst floor rooms are right by the kitchenette / lounge and are noisy when other guests are active. Although there are signs to be quiet in the lounge area, it depends on who you encounter during your stay if they're sensitive enough to be quiet with the dishes, cooking, etc.
Clean and comfortable room, includes parking right next to the building (further, at the station, in the winter due to snow, apparently), includes a kitchenette and lounge area. 7-11 around the corner. Self check in and self checkout are simple and instructions are clear.

DenmarkA very small detail: A few additional hooks in the room to hang clothes and other things would have been nice.
Probably the nicest "share house" I've seen! Clearly, they have given a lot of thought into the interior and colour scheme which gave a super cozy vibe where you immediately felt comfortable. Everything from bathrooms to showroom to every single item in the kitchen was super, super clean! Our room was very spacious and light which we really enjoyed. Comfy beds and FREE parking just around the building, and there are loads of restaurants as well as the station in walking distance. Staff were quick to answer our messages and instructions were clear. We really enjoyed staying here!

Japan- The entire house has only one bathroom, and there is almost no area prepared for changing clothes (a water heater is installed), so the overall experience is very poor. - The stairs and corridors are extremely narrow, about 70-80 cm wide, which is tight for even one person to walk, and it is very inconvenient and potential dangerous to carry luggage up and down the stairs. - Room 6 has a very strong smell, and ventilating by opening the window does not help. It is unclear whether the smell is from insecticide spray or from new renovations.
- If you visit Biei via JR train or bicyle, the location is good. - 711 in 150m range.
