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 reviewThe owners were super cheerful and friendly and helpful. You could really see they enjoyed what they were doi g. I particularly enjoyed how they set up how a guest gets to choose their breakfast. For being a hostel the beds were ver comfortable and they provided many flashlights in case you wake up in the dark.
The toilet room and shower was a bit on the smaller side and poorly ventilated.

Verified reviewRoom was spacious enough, bed comfortable, tasty little breakfast, very nice staff
The bathroom was pretty small, but I was the only person in my dorm therefore it was totally fine. I imagine if it had been full than the space definitely wouldn’t have been enough. The location is a little far from everything else but totally manageable walking distance.

Verified reviewThe overall experience was very good, the staff were friendly. The dorm rooms were very big. They had a PlayStation too which was a nice plus.
The only negative thing about our stay was the beds. Probably the worst bed I’ve ever slept on, you could feel the springs and it was not comfortable. Having said that we still enjoyed our stay.

Verified reviewBreakfast was very delicious. Location was perfect. Staff was welcoming. Everyone other guest I met at the hostel was open, kind, interesting, and curious about my trip (and I back at them)
The two bathrooms were both occupied sometimes when I needed to use the restroom.

Verified reviewThe breakfast in the morning was superb. While it came out a little later than the time I requested, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a home cooked meal, not just a random box of cereal or pre-packaged food. This breakfast was super delicious and the perfect start to a long day of biking. The bedrooms were also very clean and had nice bedding. There was a locker to store your things in. The owners, even though not all spoke English, were very kind and welcoming.
While the shower and toilet were very clean, the vanity was a little messy and there was only a bar of soap to wash your hands on. Personally I find the idea of sharing a bar of soap with others a little bit gross. It was also very hot in the common area, but there was AC in the bedroom so I was able to sleep fine. When I first arrived the wifi was also not working, but the next morning it was up and running again.

Verified reviewStaff super helpful, advised best time to pick up rental bike and assisted in securing my luggage for the ride. Bunk bed was comfortable. Large mixed dorm room with space to store items. I arrived a little earlier than planned and was able to store luggage outside under cover while I explored Onomichi. Vegan breakfast was filling.
pillow a little thin for my liking, but fine for the night.

Verified reviewEverything exceeded my expectations. The variable with shared dorms are the guests, and the group I met were exceptional- very considerate of others’ needs. Quiet prevailed.
Can’t think of a thing.
