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.).

United StatesWhen using booking.com you may get confused on which room you are selecting. Details are important, do not depend on the photos alone as each room has a few differences.
The owner is very kind! She welcomed us with a map of attractions and suggestions of where to go. She uses an easy translator to help in your needed language. So very thoughtful! The hotel is very clean and quiet. We appreciated the family style room for our family of 5. The beaches of Shirahama are beautiful and worth the extra travel!

United StatesAfter three days on the sleeping mats, my back was starting to hurt
Breakfasts were prepared and presented with such care and the quality was excellent. The fish rice porridge was particularly tasty. Each day of our the day stay there was something different and all were wonderful. The location is excellent, easy walk to the beach and many restaurants. The hotel has a few ebikes to rent and a bunch of beach items that you can use like shade tents and umbrellas and inflatable tubes.

AustraliaWe should have stayed more than a night!
A very nice family run Inn. The lady at the front was delightful to talk to. She was very caring for people who might be tired from travelling a long way, which reflects the selection of breakfast provisions. Good amount, nutritious, tasty and warm. We all loved the generous size of shower room although there was not a bathtub.

United StatesI am impressed by the hospitality of the staffs. They are kind and helpful. My mother left a handbag and they contacted the travel agent right away to inform me. We got the handbag back very quickly. The room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location is very close to the beach and other restaurants in the area. The staff also informed us a local festival at the beach as well. I also enjoy the breakfast here. Quite unique from other places. We got dim sum and clam porridge. The side assortments like tofu skin and pickles are very well flavored. A kick of chili oil helps the dish exciting! Thank you for your great service!
