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.).

United StatesThe other guests were pushy and the staff couldn’t manage it I guess idk I felt like a number at check in and that didn’t reflect the price paid. I guess after Covid the hotels unless very very good ones stopped giving out hot tea, hand towels , slippers, flowers etc .. idk I can feel the difference. The yukatas are too small for xl. I would say you Can not wear any of the samue or yukata if you’re xxl. If kyukamura can get big yukatas then so can everyone. I would recommend bigger sizes people to bring their own clean pajamas and clean easy to wear clothes for the onsen. The family room / private onsens are through a wooded area on stairs - and on a first come first grabbed key basis if you get my drift. They don’t work with reservations of time. Thankfully we could get it after waiting a bit.

Hong KongA few things that was not so pleasant over our short stay - 1. Before and after hot spring you'll need hot showers. However the hot shower in our room was cut off twice during our stay and we had to call the staffs to check. It's probably a known issue so they fixed it pretty fast but still it was cold at this weather when you are ready to take a hot shower. 2. Since you know customers will go in and out of showers and hot springs, providing only 1 set of towels is apparently not enough... So a few times during the stay we had to use wet towels. 3. Before our dinner we were waiting outside the dining area for the staffs to check the rooms and seats etc., It's a bit hard to understand why the reception staff had to hand- wrote the customer name into a piece of paper (rather than easily using the room type to identify) and asked around if you are the person written on the paper. While we were waiting the staff took my name and paper to ask another customer and they obviously did not recognize the name but said "yes" so the staff took them in and took our table. When I immediately informed the staff that it was my name on that paper the staffs were very hands-off and slow-reacting. We were later on taken to a smaller table which was not the best experience...
The location is a ~2 hours' drive from Osaka but still, easy to find. We booked the whole villa for ourselves so it's very spacious, private and cosy. The room is well equipped with all the good stuffs - welcoming snacks, water, coffee machine and tea sets. We recommend to arrive earlier for the check-in and to enjoy some other extra (paid) services like facial treatment and massage and of course, hot spring. I intended to try the facial treatment but unfortunately it was full (we arrived at around 5pm). The private hot spring was the best. There are obviously some cats living in the resort. We saw a cat passing by our villa from the outside. It was spectacular experience. Dinner and breakfast was also great - they were well "designed". Although I actually thought meals in this resort are served in the rooms privately.

Hong KongSound proof is not enough. We had a child stay in the upper floor keep running and jumping until 1am during our stay. Dinner time is strict. You can only choose 5:30 or 8pm. And the staffs are just not too friendly and helpful especially the reception girl. The toilet are smelly when we come to our room. Maybe because they make the room too warm.
Onsen is very nice. The hotel is morden newly polished. Dinner provided quality food
