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 reviewClose to the train stations, nice restaurants. The inside was very clean, and the ac worked fast and good. In the akatsuki room where we stayed, the bed was very comfortable and there was enough space for both of us to relax. The staff was very kind, the owner spoke english well which was helpful. We felt safe and secure the whole time. The area was very quiet and in the guesthouse as well.
There wasn't much too dislike. The showers were small but easy to use, and in the summer the restrooms are very hot.
Thank you very much for using our service. It was fun talking with you two. I'm sure it's hot outside the room. Thank you for your understanding.

Verified reviewResidential neighbourhood just 8 min walk from train station. Nice host who recommended a nearby Okinawan restaurant, which was good. Extra positive to get 2 big fluffy towels, and that the AC had a quiet sleep modus (once I figured out how that works with a translation app).
Kitchen needs more frequent checking, since other guests leave food in the fridge or leave the kitchen towels dirty.
That's true. After you checked out, I checked the refrigerator and found a lot of food left behind by other guests. Thank you for pointing that out. It's been a while since you posted, but I hope you're still enjoying your trip to Japan. Have a great time!

Verified reviewVery nice and cozy hostel with a traditional Japanese aesthetic (big plus! it has character!). Facilities, including kitchen, were clean. Room was comfortable. Neighbourhood was also very comfortable and safe, not far from the train station. Staff was so friendly and nice, thank you!
The stairs were very narrow so it was a bit hard to get my big suitcase up and down them, but it is definitely doable.
Thank you so much for staying at my little house. I was happy to read your review. I will do my best to make everyone happy.

Verified reviewI am sorry but the room didnt meet the expectations. I found no sheets, the futon wasnt ready to use. Since no one was in the house, and no one replied to my requests, i had to look for sheets in the closet and luckily i found them. The smell in the room (sakura) was not so good and so was the one on the sheets. The door couldnt be closed and locked…… i think you can improve your service. The toilet and the house itself was clean.
Thank you for using Hanaan. It seems that you thought the futon was not ready, but when I checked with the staff, they said that it was already set up and that a bath towel had been placed on top. I'm very sorry, but we have put a white cover over the futon and a mattress pad on the futon. Then we put a bath towel on the pillow and it's ready. The sheets in the closet are for the bed and are not to be used in a guest room. Everything was definitely ready. However, we apologize for the discomfort you may have experienced due to our lack of explanation.

Verified reviewLoved that there was a couple bikes we could use to go for a ride around the town and there was some really cool wee local shops selling produce. Biggest thing we loved was having a kitchen and being able to cool our own food and try some of the local products! Would recommend this place to anyone.
Was a wee way from the city if you wanted to go and explore places but nice to be away from the city if you’ve been in the busy parts. The bed mattress was a little hard for my partner but I didn’t mind it.
Thank you for your review. It was very helpful!

Verified reviewModest, traditional house in an uncrowded neighbourhood.
Only one key to the main door which locks up at midnight. If you stay up late you'll need to use the lockbox to access it, which has had the key missing from time to time (as other guests haven't returned it). Best to talk to host if you have any concerns.

Verified reviewWe loved the location and the discreet building. Also how clean the bathrooms were.
No heat in the common areas, kitchen was extremely tight and bathroom sink was in the hallway, not in a private room. Lastly, the walls were so thin so we need to be very quiet so a not to disturb other guests.
Thank you so much for being considerate of the noise for your neighbors. We installed soundproofing walls during the renovation but it didn't work. We are so grateful for the wonderful guests like you who help make our guests' stay here more comfortable.

Verified reviewComfortable guesthouse in quiet suburban neighborhood.
It's quite far from the center (~50 min by train), though, so bear that in mind.
Thank you very much for your post. As you said, it takes about 50 minutes to get to Shinjuku and Shibuya. Asakusa, Ginza, Ueno, and Akihabara take about 30 minutes. Shibamata, a 20-minute walk from here, is also an interesting place. There are some cheap and delicious restaurants near the inn.

Verified reviewThe guest house feel so comfortable and relaxing. You can feel like you already in your own place.
You can really hear the sounds when someone walks in or something from the next door or upstairs.
Thank you very much. I'm very happy. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by the sound.

Verified reviewThe place was very hospitable, my partner was hesitant about the hostel having a common bathroom, but everything was so clean! The bathroom was great, with nice and pleasant soaps (body, hair & conditioner), the water was so warm, and the towel felt so fresh and clean! The bed and sheets felt so homie and clean! The room and bathroom were sparkling clean, the window to the garden from our room felt very inviting, I felt like I was living in an actual home in Tokyo (which is exactly that!). The neighbourhood is very quiet at night, I actually recommend sleeping with the window open, and having a sense of this amazing silence. We chose this location because it was on our way to Tokyo, while it's not in the city center, that's actually one of the place advantages! The neighbourhood it resides in seems very liveable, away from the hustle & bustle of the main city. Walking the streets was very pleasant, there is a fantastic izakaya just up (north) the street, which we also enjoyed very much. Thank you for our stay!
