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.).

IrelandThe only thing we didn’t enjoy were the pillows — they were extremely soft and squishy, and just not to our preference.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. On arrival, we were welcomed with little gifts and a personal note, which was a really thoughtful touch. Breakfast was served just for us in the lounge on both mornings — one Japanese-style and one Western — and both were beautifully done. The location was fantastic: very close to the station, lots of nice restaurants nearby, yet set in a peaceful residential area. The private onsen bath was a highlight — it was so convenient, and we could reheat the water whenever needed. Yukata and slippers were provided, along with complimentary drinks in the fridge, which made the whole stay feel extra special.

United StatesGiven the townhouse was a restored historical building, there were a couple features that one should be aware of. Namely, 1) the building has low ceilings so a tall person needs to be mindful as they walk around, and 2) the bathroom is on the first floor and the bedroom on the 2nd so at night one has to go down a steep set of stairs to go to the bathroom. These two features didn't detract from our stay however and we thought it was an amazing experience.
Townhouse is absolutely charming and a very unique stay. Great location next to the historic area of Takayama. The property managers were very responsive and made sure we were taken care of.

AustraliaNothing needed improvement
A truly comfortable and luxurious experience, great attention to detail and very generous inclusions. The interior of this renovated 140 yr old townhouse is just stunning, stylishly evoking a warm traditional feel with its ricepaper screens and huge timber beams, but also packed with comforts like huge and comfortable beds, large screen Smart TV, state of the art bathrooms, luxury linens, magnificent private onsen, and high-end toiletries. A warm and personalised welcome, and we were also collected with our bags at the end of our stay. Very convenient location, within easy walking distance of the Takayama historic centre and temple trails.One of the nicest places we have ever stayed in.

United KingdomThe pillows were too soft for our liking, but it wouldn’t stop us staying there again.
What a beautiful place in a great location. We were met with a warm welcome, shown to the parking space then to our room. Even though I had read the description of the studio room, I had totally missed the point that we could use the whole building. Staff use the reception area for arrivals, but once they’re complete, we were left alone in the building and could use of the lounge and kitchen if desired.

Wow, what a find. I wish we had more time, the onsen was fantastic, the location is close to the train station but still felt far enough that you didn't feel the hustle and bustle. The place itself was spotless, cute and cozy. Spacious and comfortable. We loved it! Thierno provided exceptional service when we checked in.

United KingdomIt’s nothing bad but if you are a very tall person you may need to be careful with the beams above your head to avoid banging into them.
Great location, easy to get to all attractions in Takayama. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We received a nice welcome gift (tasty Japanese sweets and snacks) from them and it made the experience special. Amenities were all good. Generous amount of free drinks in the fridge. The house was beautifully done inside with modern facilities and spacious (we were a group of 3).
