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.).

SingaporeRoom is relatively small, so will have a problem to fit 2 big luggage. Paid parking of 1,200 yen per night. This will go up to 1,500 yen per night on 1 September 2025.
Close proximity to Shimitori and Kamitori shopping street. Also like the refreshment (ice-cream, yakult) after onsen as well as the complimentary bowl of hot ramen. Makes a difference on a rainy night.

ThailandLimited parking space, once it's full, you would be recommended to park in the opposite building (2 min walk) with the same parking fee at JPY 1,200.- Room is too small and elevators are always crowded (guest going up/down all the time)
Onsen with follow of a light meal (ice-cream/ yogurt) at the top of the building was great. Ramen is also available for free during the night. Breakfast is variety.

AustraliaThe hotel and its amenities look old and dated. Everything is brown. The rooms are not the cleanest (dusty carpet in the corners, mould in the shower which I didn’t use anyway). The elevators smell a bit of tobacco.
Conveniently located near Shimotori with its many restaurants and shops, and directly opposite the Sakura Machi Bus Terminal, which made my onward journey much simpler. Great breakfast with many delicious options (mainly Japanese). Onsen bath is very nice – but it gets crowded late at night so beater to go at other times.

Good location near the shopping arcade and the Kumamoto castle. The hot spring bath is definitely a plus. The breakfast was excellent with western and Japanese food. A comfortable hotel also for a family.

CanadaThe staff as a little less friendly than at other Dormy locations but that may be because fewer spoke English and there were fewer international visitors.
The onsen was exceptional. Really nice. The extras Dormy provides like the free evening ice cream and late night ramen were great, although we didn’t make it down for the ramen on this visit. The location was fantastic. It’s walking distance to the Kumamoto Castle and close to a mall and tram stops.

TaiwanThe hotel may be a refurbished hotel? The soundproof is not pretty good and i can hear visitors' activities next to my room. But generally speaking, it is still OK to me.
I pretty enjoyed and highly recommended this hotel. The location is perfect. It is just next to the main bus station, and very closed to the city centre. Besides, the best thing to me is the hot spring in the hotel. Visitors can enjoy the hot spring with good and relaxing atmosphere after traveling everyday. It is also a good idea that the hotel cooperates with bookstore. You can read famous comic books in the hotel. It is really a good idea to save the business. It is a pity that I did not try the breakfast this visit. And i believe i will try your breakfast when i visit you next time.
