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...).

United StatesI wish our trip had time for a few more nights here.
From the moment we were picked up from the bus station: the service, the experience, everyone was excellent. Comfortable beds, my kids were happy to have their own space, delicious food, relaxing onsen. No complaints on anything.

United StatesThey asked us to confirm all meals 3x days in advance. Perhaps because it was a slow season but still don’t think it’s fair to assume we’ll know our every movement that far in the future!
Fantastic amenities and personnel. They are truly the most luxury expedience in Arima. The creative and design of their brand plus the ability to use the Tocen Onsen was great!

United StatesStaff was beyond excellent - the ambiance, the small flat that you get for the night was amazing. Shame I only had stayed one night, but the beds were great and everything in the facilities were great too. The personal hot spring was amazing to use.

United StatesNothing, everything was perfect!
This stay was incredible. The food was out of this world, meals were private, service top notch. There was a dry sauna and natural hot spring tub in our villa plus tons of room. Very comfortable, modern, clean, and elegant. We would definitely stay again and maybe even longer. Highly recommend! Loved it!!

Hong KongI did not like the short stay, just 3 nights is too short. A joke!
We are grateful for the smiling faces and so helpful. You took extra attention to the child’s meal. All dishes for adult and kid’s meals were excellent. The hotel car rides were most helpful. The English speaking staff(Indonesian) was so helpful and always smiling。The onsen, masionette house was superb.

United StatesIt is a nice place but way over priced for what it is. The rooms are all two floor cabanas which is nice but kind of strangely laid out. There is very little natural light. Getting down to them requires a long walk on a moving walkway. The food is okay but dinner made me quite ill and was 41,000 JPY
It is very close to a spectacular waterfall and not far from town

United Statesthere is a conveyer belt type system to go down to the rooms and our sons foot got caught in the belt and we had to use the emergency shutoff and carefully get his foot out. his shoe was completely destroyed and it was an extremely scary experience. the staff was helpful at the time it happened, but this conveyer belt system should be removed as it seemed extremely dangerous. We felt very lucky he did not get severely injured.
the private onsen experience was good. the food was good but not kid friendly. I would have loved to have had some more flexibility in the food provided so we could have all enjoyed it
