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.).

DenmarkIt’s a great place to enjoy the experience of ryokan. Note that it’s an hostel, so even though you might pay a little extra, you won’t get the “luxury”, but the staff is super friendly and it’s a very nice and cosy place.

Australianothing to say, all excelent
The location is super convenient, close to both the train and bus stations. The staff member who assisted me was very friendly and talkative, which made me feel really comfortable. I also loved the music playing in the common area — it made the atmosphere very pleasant. I only stayed one night, but I truly enjoyed it.

AustraliaThe access from the street is up stairs, which was not a problem for us, but may be an issue if you have heavy luggage. We found the price to be somewhat expensive for this style of accommodation, in comparison to another hotel where we stayed in Kanazawa.
Very well located hostel, just a few minutes walk from the bus & train station. We were greeted by a very helpful English host who was able to provide us with useful information about what to see in the area. Our room was a private double room with bathroom: simply furnished but quite comfortable. There was a common lounge area and kitchen with fridges to store your own food, cooking and eating utensils and free coffee and tea from 7 am.

United StatesPillow too thin/low. Quiet except if someone shower late at night, I can hear it as I am light sleeper.
Extremely clean and 3 mins walk from long haul bus terminal. Capsule/ bunk beds have privacy since it is within a room itself which is great for kids and family. Well documented rest and kitchen area to check out their well documented tour information. Staff speaks great English and very helpful with tourism information.

United StatesThe bunk beds for our room were positioned oddly so it was a little inconvenient to access one of the bottom bunk beds, but we found that we could move the ladders out of the way to make space. There were also no surfaces in our particular room (two bunk beds) to put things down on or sit at.
Very conveniently located, immaculately clean accommodation with a fully stocked kitchen and charming communal area. Little local cultural items decorate the entire place. Elevator for hotel proper, but since checkin and reception is on the second floor, you still have to navigate some stairs every time you go in and out of the hotel. Plugs and lights conveniently positioned for each bed.

GermanyThe light in the toilets (2nd floor) goes off automatically and shuts off too quickly leaving you in the dark.
I stayed in a “capsule” dorm and had the luck of one wall being a window so it did not feel too small and I had natural light. The lounge and kitchen were great - well equipped and always clean and it is nice and cozy which helps meet other travelers. The staff were very helpful and had some great tips for my stay. I realy enjoyed the place and the location.

Among the 6 hotels and hostels we stayed at during our 9-day Central Japan trip, my family and I agree that the best accommodation so far was K's House! Checking in was quick and their front desk staff were very kind. They allowed us to leave our luggages until the check-in time while we sped off discovering Takayama. It's just a 5-min walk to Takayama Station and Nohi Bus Center. Our room and the ensuite T&B were very clean, very spacious and so comfortable. They have a cute elevator (from front desk to guest rooms) for travelers like us with big luggages. Their shared kitchen and living space were so great with everything you need! We saved a lot on meals since we were able to prepare our own food. Their rooftop is an added facility you should not miss to have a good view of the surrounding neighborhood. My teens loved this! Can't tell enough how much we loved K's House! Takayama is one place we really admired. And if we ever get the chance to visit again, we will definitely choose K's House again and again! Thank you very much for your accommodation. Your place is now part of our core memories!

SpainNot a hug problem but the storage space we get is not big enough to put a cabin luggage in and the space to open your luggage is not very big in the room. As most hostels in Japan it seems, there is no real vibe to meet other people or just have some random chat - everyone minds their own business.
Very easy and convenient due to the great location next to the station. Nice and clean common areas with table to eat, sofas and good size kitchen. The bed was also comfortable.

Excellent location, very close to the station. Short walk to old town and the morning markets. We had a hire car and there was paid parking almost right next door to hostel , ¥900/24 hrs although there is cheeper parking the further away you move from the station. We were traveling as a family of 5 with young kids so appreciated parking close. Share common room and kitchen very clean and well equipped. Good string shower in the private room that at two bunk beds. My youngest shared a bed with me.
