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...).

Great location, close to fire works, lake and restaurant. Received a voucher for nearby Onsen. Amazing Sushi restaurant just next to it.

New ZealandUnfortunately there is a strong 'black-mold' smell in the common area. I must be from the shower or some other water-damaged area. I hope the owners have the abilty to investigate it at some point.
The owner (husband) was very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring I have a good stay. He gave good advice for palces to go and personally met me around the check-in time. The individual rooms with locks was good.

MalaysiaSeparate bathroom and toilet were small but then again I guess japanese houses are like that, five of us we made do, no problem. We have luggages to carry upstairs, no problem the children helped with them.
The place is enough for our family of 5. Owner was very friendly, he came to meet us, gave us some snacks and drinks, and recommended some nice eating place which we went and enjoyed the food very much. It's a short walk to the lakeside which is good for morning walk. Thank you host.

SloveniaFor a fairly small investment, this guesthouse could be improved significantly: Install hooks in the room and bathroom to hang clothes Install some shelves or cupboards to store personal things in the room Provide basic utensils such as plates, cups, glasses, cutlery
The owner was very kind and helpful. He did his best in accommodating our requests for laundry (easy, washing mashines just next door), kitchen (not so easy, there was a microwave, a fridge, and a water heater, but no proper kitchen with utensils), and local transportation options. The level of hygene was very high. Beds were comfortable too. The location is great, just one minute walk to the lake shore and 10 minute walk to the bus terminal with connections to Sapporo. We were also given 500 yen tickets for a hotel onsen that normally costs 1500 yen.

United StatesThe bedroom is heated and very cozy but the shared space isn’t heated, so prepare some socks if you’re visiting in the fall or winter
Good location. Comfortable room with shared amenities and a discount coupon for a gorgeous onsen across the street. Heater provided in the room. Kind owner left us a little Halloween goody bag.

SingaporeSmall guesthouse run by a very friendly landlady. The premises were well heated so I wasn't cold at all even though it was a cold winter night. The landlady also provided discount coupons to the onsen at the hotel next to the guesthouse, which was fantastic. There're also many restaurants nearby.

United KingdomThe owner appeared to have forgotten we were coming despite my sending two updates. They did appear and quickly sorted it out, giving us the whole property. There was no cutlery or crockery, although there were paper cups. The owner assured us that the voucher scheme meant we were entitled to a discount on the property which would be refunded, that hasn't happened.
We had the property to ourselves which was a great help. The owner gave us vouchers for a discounted onsen and because one of us was resident in Japan they were able to include us in the Hokkaido voucher scheme to encourage internal tourism
