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 reviewThis ryokan is really nice and feels like authentic Japan. We definitely enjoyed our stay here. The host and other staff were very friendly and helpful. Just a short walk from the train station made it handy as well. Appreciate the supplied robes and guests' pass to walk around to the other onsens. Even though it was hot out, it was worth the visit to a few of them. You can tell that effort goes into keeping a well-maintained and clean, lodging and dining space.
We purchased the dinner and breakfast option. While the presentation and service were excellent, and most of it was really good, not all of it was. More specifically, some of the seafood felt overcooked at dinner.

Verified reviewThis hotel is right in the middle of town. Everything is close by. All the public onsens are a short walk away. The hotel staff were lovely. The Japanese private onsen was very nice. It was nice to be able to experience the onsen with my partner.

Verified reviewExcellent service from the staff/owners. Received an upgrade to a larger room. The location is very good for those who takes the train. The private onsen on a booking basis was a good experience especially for couples.
Perhaps it is a Kinosaki Onsen experience, the hotel does not have a good onsen facility. Guests are encouraged to use the public onsens. Good for guests who like to explore but not do those who prefer a quiet in hotel onsen. Parking was inconvenient. The parking out about 5 minutes away and charged. While the food variety for dinner and breakfast is good, the quality is under expectation.

Verified reviewEverything about Kinosaki onsen Hanakouji Saigetsu was perfect!! The staff were exceptional from the minute we arrived to when we left. Was a beautiful experience and had the best sleep, the energy surrounding was Calming. The staff extremely friendly, down to earth and very humble. They actually didnt just promote their own establishment but was more so promoting and telling us to share our experience with how we found their Town!! Was absolutely beautiful!
There was nothing i could fault except I wish I had booked an extra few days more.
