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 reviewIf you want to stay in Gero Onsen on a budget, Gerobal Hostel is perfect. It's very close to the station, and although the rooms are very simple, they are clean and the bedrooms were well heated in winter. There are a number of public baths in Gero Onsen, so you can enjoy the hot springs for really very little money by staying here. I was able to leave my luggage after checking out, very welcoming and accommodating staff. Only has communal showers and toilets which were kept very clean.
I stayed in winter, and the communal rooms were freezing cold, and insulation appears to be zero. With the heating running on permanent, it was comfortable enough in my room, plus the duvets were very warm, but it was not so comfortable sitting in the common room, which is a bit sparse. A bit more equipment to prepare simple food and maybe tea and coffee would go a long way in making this place more welcoming

Verified reviewRight across from Gero station, super convenient. Large room. The toilet and shower are clean. There’s a washing machine. Access to a kitchen and a small sitting room. Bring your own towel. There’s two flights of steep stairs which is usual in many older Japanese houses. Very quiet when we were there. The owner has info about onsen and restaurants. We were able to leave our bags while we explored Gero.
Everything was fine.

Verified reviewBig room with confortable beds. The staff provided us some useful recommendations about onsens and restaurants in town.
It was bit noisy at night because of the road next to the hostel.

Verified reviewGood location, very close to the train station. Good facility with a common kitchen and lounge area.
The owner was not at the location when we arrived, but he did give us instructions on how to enter the building. There were no towels available for rent, but he let us borrow some on the house.

Verified reviewWe thought that the hotel could prepare towels for us just like other hotels. Anyway thanks for the staff who sent us towels when he knew we are in trouble without any towels.
