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.).

New ZealandThe staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our accommodation included a private onsen which allowed us to bathe after our children had gone to sleep. But there was also a public open air onsen too. The children loved the little Kurokawa onsen face towel left for them. A short drive from Kurokawa town perfect for travellers with a rental car and affordable if the guesthouses in Kurokawa town are out of your budget. Our kitchen had a kettle, gas stove, microwave and I think a rice cooker. Wish we could have stayed longer!

SingaporeThe mini kitchen was extremely small and barely enough for one person. The shower was outdoor next to the onsen, and for folks like us from the tropics, showering in 5 DegC windy condition was tough.
The rustic villa was clean and comfortable with the bonus of a private onsen. The bedroom with futon beds was at the 2nd storey while the ground floor was the living room, a small kitchen and a patio. While it was freezing cold outside when we were there, it was warm and cozy inside. The location was a short drive from Kurokawa hence was a good alternative for bigger groups looking for budget accommodation nearby. We almost could not make it to the accommodation due to error in the Google map which directed us to a closed road. We were desperate as it was very close to 6 o'clock, the latest check-in time. We resorted to calling the host in our broken Japanese and thankfully, the kind lady at the reception came to our rescue and led us in via a new road which was not shown in Google map.

We loved our short stay here. The private onsen was perfect after long days hiking and travelling. The cabin had a terrace with a table you could grill on and we rented a bbq and wagyu beef set from them which was delicious. The staff were so kind and friendly. Would recommend staying here!

Hong Kong- The bedroom is upstairs - steep uphill to the site - old cabin/house - unstaff in the evening
- has a breathtaking view - able to cook and bbq on the balcony - the kitchen has everything we need - friendly staff. They have cranked up the air con to pre-heat the house for us. - it is a camp site not a 5 star hotel so please adjust your expectation - onsen water is hot..hot...hot - tap water has an "onsen" taste but this is what expected. - tatami bed (like in Doraemon, U need to do your bed at night and in the morning) - tranquility in the morning

AustraliaThe location is a bit out of the way so access to restaurants and such is limited (of course there's nothing the hosts could do about that ;) ) we ended up driving to Minamioguni and Oguni for dinner our two nights.
EXCELLENT value for money. Complete detached building with its own private onsen bathhouse. Relatively large fridge, availability of microwave and toaster oven in addition to a kettle. Very quiet location. Good quality wifi.
