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):
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.
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.).

Hong KongNothing to dislike rather this home far exceeded our expectations.
This home could be the highlight of your Japan vacation. It's a traditional Japanese song with fusuma and tatami, plus every modern convenience. It's a little hard to find but it's a treasure located right beside an ancient shrine. The home is also located minutes away from good restaurants and if you have a bike or a car close to attraction such as the marine centre. The staff are gracious on your arrival and then leave you alone to enjoy your stay. Stayed for two nights I wish we stayed for a week.

GermanyFor us, it was one of the best houses we ever booked via booking.com for our vacation. During our stay we felt the traditional Japanese Lifestyle. It was exactly what we were looking for to experience the original japanese flair with all the woden rooms and furniture. The accomodation was very clean, perfectly equipped, well located (a big supermarket is nearby) and just comfortable. The host were beyond friendly and answered all of our questions very fast. We would love to come back!

AustraliaBit of a walk from the station - but untimately worth it, as theres pleanty to see along the way.
Such a lovely and atmospheric location - almost within the nearby shrine. Lovely clean place and considerate (english speaking) host who dropped by to ensure all was OK. Clean and comfortable and we could even watch Netflix which my sons enjoyed. Not far from Kushimoto port and you can walk or bus to the Southernmost part of Japan's mainisland. Beauitiful. Not far from terrific places to eat. We dined at JuJu's - wonderful host who spoke some English and made sure we enjoyed our meal - we just gave him a budget (~Y3K each) and it kept on comein!

United StatesWhat a great guest house. Located at the south end of town at end of a very quiet street next to a temple, the guest house is a beautifully maintained single story house in a traditional style, including tatami rooms for sleeping and relaxing. There's a kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals (we did), and the bathroom is well-appointed. Best of all, the manager is the absolutely nicest man. He offered to pick us up from the train station, showed us the town, and then got us settled in the guest house. When we told him we were in Kushimoto to visit the grave of an old family friend he said that he would drive us there and then to the train station. We felt very taken care of and very welcomed.

This ground floor house is in a very quiet area next door to a Shrine about 12 mins walk south of Shirahama station on flat roads. The house is lovely - staying here is a beautiful way to experience modern Japanese living. Large bedroom for two people with comfortable futon beds. Living room plus lounge room and large kitchen. Laundry and bathroom are down one end and very private. The owner is a lovely man who was happy to pick us up upon arrival and show us around the house.

Singapore-
Perfect stay for us in Kushimoto! Japanese style home was huge and could easily accomodate a large family, fully equipped with all the amenities (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom). Not forgetting that owner is extremely hospitable as well. Would not hesitate to choose Guesthouse Mori again when visiting Kushimoto

AustraliaThe cameras- potentially in the front room and near the sauna. Probably there for innocent reasons but a bit disconcerting nevertheless.
Location near a shrine and forest. Close to a great supermarket. The sauna was lovely. It was a cold night and the sauna really warmed us up. It was really nice having our own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom to enjoy to ourselves. The humidifier was an added bonus seeing we slept with the heater on.
