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 reviewWe stayed at a family room and it was big enough for the 4 of us. The beds in the bedroom were really comfortable. The room clean and bathroom well equipped. It is a bit outdated but everything is really well maintained and works perfectly! The free snacks and water were highly appreciated. The host is truly very kind and gives good advice on what to do - for free! For breakfast we recommend the cafe of the same owner. We recommend staying here instead of at at temple.
Thank you so much for stay.we were glad to hear that.very Thanks Have a happy trip. Tommy

Verified reviewGreat location and good value. Beds were simple but comfortable. Free ramen cup and snacks were a nice touch.
There was something wrong that caused the room to be very humid. It was so humid that my phone didn't change overnight, and the bathroom mirror was fogged over. It caused a strange musty smell that wasn't very pleasant. We were only there for one night so we didn't follow up with the owners on this, as it happened right before we left. I didn't see any other reviewers have this issue, so maybe it was a one-off for us?
so sorry.this room has most latest airconditional.you may use The remote control the wrong way. in that case.Please call me immediately.thank you Tommy masahiro Iwata

Verified reviewI stayed in the double room apartment with the balcony, and it was absolutely lovely! Super comfortable bed, lovely quiet location, a 30 second walk from the bus station, and within easy (flat) walking distance to everything else in town. Tommy was a very friendly and helpful host, with lots of advice about what to do in town, and even had a little flip book of activities/locations with maps included that he left on a table near the entrance. There were free cup noodles, snacks, and bottled water left in the room, and clean towels (and extra snacks!) delivered after two nights stay without having to request them, which was a really nice touch. I loved my stay here, and will definitely be returning next time I'm in town :)
Thank you for everything.we were glad to hear that.Please enjoy your trip and your life. Thank you. Tommy masahiro Iwata
