Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Pillows are flat. You get one pillow per person. They are apparently a special weave but we found them on the flat side. Onsen is not rooftop like pretty much all other Dormy inns. The hotel itself is older, and I am presuming this is why the onsen was in a more closed-in part of the hotel. Ventilation could be made better there, by opening up more wooden slats that don’t compromise privacy - it gets super steamy with only a people using it.
We chose a spacious room which at 22sqm meant we weren’t clambering over each other with the bed, our luggage, and furnishings. That was great. The ability to open a window. The free access to laundry, that happened to be on our floor and the one above. Lifts fairly quick versus other hotels we’ve stayed in. Stairwell as an option to move between a few floors was also useful.

Parking was good but just arrive after 3pm as you will be charged extra.
This was a standard hotel situated in the heart of Kochi. It had some useful extras to pick up in the lobby. The beds were fairly comfortable when compared to futons! The fact that we could park our cars in a nearby carpark was a bonus.

Parking needs to be at nearby 4-5 designated carparks to get jpy800 ticket from hotel. We arrived after 7 pm and nearest OK carpark is full , had to drive around n other lift carpark only accepts after 8 pm.
Location is good , next to covered shopping street , Kochi castle and Hirome Market is walking distance.

Compared to other Japanese hotels, the room was very well planned out and had extra shelves so we could unpack some of our things rather than living out of our suitcase. Free ice cream, health drink, and late night Ramen made the stay extra special! Excellent breakfast too!

Great location in the center, but still quiet. We loved the spa. The room with 2 twin beds was spacious and clean. The staff was very helpfull and resolved an issue for us very adequately. There are many small restaurants close by and the Hirome market is also 5-10 minutes by foot. We stayed during the week and had no issues to park at the nearby OK parking lot.
