Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

House with Tatami guestroom, one can use the well-equipped kitchen and living-room. Located not far from Kombini & Supermarket. Yoshinojingu is famous for his wood-industry, there is the smell a fresh cut cedar in the air, about 10 Min walk from trainstation to Yoshino. The Host speaks some English, young couple with kid

GermanyWhile the room can be calm and relaxing, it depends if the adjacent room is booked or not. The separation between the two rooms is only some thin sliding doors, that are not covering all gaps, so you could even peek into the other room. That's very apparent, when it's night and either one has the lights on =( A sleeping mask might help, but otherwise your room is also illuminated. You will also hear everything that's happening in the other room, so hope for silent guests.
The host is very nice and welcoming and has good tips about the places around, as well as restaurants and alike.

JapanExcellent little spot! Wonderful host, he speaks some English and will tell you all about the area. We stayed in the Japanese-style room, the futons were very comfortable and warm. As it is a gueshouse, there are shared spaces for guests to use - a fully equipped kitchen, loungeroom, a simple bathroom and 2 toilets. Free wifi throughout. Please be considerate of other guests and neighbouring houses regarding noise, especially at night. About a 12 min walk to Yoshinojingu Station (1 stop away from Yoshino Station), there is a convenience store about 8 min walk away, and there is an awesome chinese restaurant near Yoshinojingu Station. Highly recommend this place!

GermanyThe staff was super friendly and helpful. That alone is worth coming here. The front room is so cozy and there is a massage machine. Location wise you can do Yoshino by walk during a day going up and back and you could even choose the quiet path starting north. There is nothing to do see but it is tranquil as you also don't see the hordes of tourists.

United Arab EmiratesOh my God this is a magical experience! First of all both Kiko and Hisa are the kindest people! Kiko spent hours helping tweek our travel plans and planning the best route based on our interests. Hisa took us in his lovely car with Kiko next morning to a special place in the mountains to see Sakura as it was a bit late for the Sakura in the national park. We spent an amazing day together and then went in the afternoon to the national park. When we came back in the evening they invited us for a house dinner with the son and mother of low of the owner Hisa and another friend visiting from out of town and honestly no words for the experience. An incridible Japan authentic thing! In short saw Sakura, met with amazing people, had a japanese dinner party and got serious help with our travel plans. I could say its the highlight of our trip! The house is very nice, room was big, everything is clean and functional including self service laundry. Thank you so much for everything and see you again one day!

CanadaWe booked the room with 2 tatamis and it was as if we were sleeping directly on the floor. Not that bad, but it was our first time sleeping like this and I don't think we would do it again. I would recommend a room with beds!
The staff was so nice and welcoming. They were very accommodating (with our check-in time and luggage). We had a great time there!!
