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.).

Verified reviewWe just loved everything. Set just a few steps away from the sea down a quiet little road and hidden behind trees. Bird is a beautiful, small, excpetionally clean, modern hotel. You will just fall in love with it. And the help and assistance we had to get us on a 5am train to the airport was beyond kind. We couldnt get a taxi that our early so the hotel kindly drove us to the station - we are so very grateful. Thank you. We didnt want to leave.

Verified reviewThe hotel is amazing. The rooms are massive by Japanese standards, it’s 2 minutes from the beach but still quiet and the facilities including private class are much higher quality than the cost of the stay would make you think. We had the tasting menu two nights in a row from the hotel restaurant and it was unbelievably reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The second night the chef asked if we’d like anything different and also made a bespoke cake for my birthday with a birthday message written in chocolate sauce. Wee details like this are amazing! Staff are incredibly friendly. It’s a small, high class boutique hotel with an incredibly small fee for what you get. Go here.
We loved it, but if you don’t like dogs you might not like the fact other guests may have their dog with them. It wasn’t intrusive or loud because of this, just relevant for those with allergies or phobias perhaps.

Verified reviewIt’s a nice quaint little place. The room was really spacious and well equipped with basic amenities. Provides breakfast which was really good. very accessible as the train station was just a short walk away. Loved that the shower area has a rain shower! Staff are generally friendly, and polite. Altho not all can converse in English.
Included in my booking that I’d be driving, to reserve a spot, received no messages frm them via platform. Upon reaching then I was informed it costs 4000yen for overnight parking. And we got caught up with the aquarium visit and returned about 5pm to collect the car, was charged another 2000yen. Didn’t like that the charges weren’t mentioned upfront. The lights in our room were weirdly configured. Some lights turn on at the door, some at the bed. Also, the step into the bath room is unusually high. Not friendly for people with weak knees. Bathroom basin is really tiny tho. Theres no space to place your toiletries.

Verified reviewLovely location and very easy to find. A modern, low rise building set in a beautiful garden. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and gracious. Our room was big and had everything we needed. A good size shower and lovely comfortable beds. The food was fresh and imaginative - really enjoyed our evening taster meal and breakfast.
This is a hotel that allows dogs. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of barking - when we registered, at dinner and whilst we were in our room; including in the early morning. It's not really the hotels fault - more bad pet ownership. But be aware - if barking disturbs you then look elsewhere.
Thank you for staying at BIRDHOTEL The facilities, the staff, the food. We were happy to read your message that you enjoyed your stay Thank you very much We are very sorry that the dog barked. We will take responsibility and thoroughly confirm the terms of stay with the owner Please come and stay with us again if you have the chance! We sincerely hope that you will come again!

Verified reviewIt's a beautiful serene hotel with a very refined and zen vibe on a quiet street. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. The hotel has the design aesthetics of a very high end resort while being reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the hot bath. The terrace area is lovely for having breakfasts or just drinks. The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes away by train from the main Kamukura train station. The same train that runs from the main station to the hotel also goes to the train station serving the Enoshima Island. From the hotel, it's a short walk to many charming restaurants, cafes, and stores in town, many serving snacks and desserts that have a unique local favor. We also enjoyed running on the beach front trail which is about 100 feet from the hotel. There is a stunning view of Mt. Fuji on the trail.
Thank you for staying at BIRDHOTEL. The facilities, the staff, the food. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! I'm glad you also enjoyed our location near the sea where you can experience nature a lot. I hope you'll come again!

Verified reviewStayed with adult daughter. Bird Hotel is exceptional! Walking distance to water, restaurants, and temples. We enjoy walking. The design and calm atmosphere of hotel is outstanding. Delicious Japanese breakfast and soothing private hot bath (reserve). The professional and friendly staff allowed us to keep our luggage the hotel day of checkout. They were sympathetic to our needs after hawk and crows swooped down and stole our sushi. Don’t eat food on the beach! Highly Bird Hotel as will recommend to all and will stay again on next visit to Kamakura.
Thank you for staying at BIRDHOTEL. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with your daughter! That's right! Be careful of kites at the sea! And the sushi...what a shame. Please come visit Kamakura, Japan again! See you again! We hope to see you again!
