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 reviewA truly Japanese style hotel, situated close to train station. Small hotel. Individual attention given to quests. A Wonderful experience. Rooms are big & easily accommodated 3 people. Our room had a balcony which was a plus. Japanese breakfast served.

Verified reviewThe hotel was intimate and our room was spacious and resembled a very modern Ryokan. The breakfast was traditional and delicious. It included rice pockets with a choice of fillings prepared by their chef, which sat on a bed of dried seaweed, and was served with a side of pickles and miso. The meal was flavoursome and fresh. The location was very convenient for us, noting the train and tram station a stone throw away. The area was buzzing with people, and then nice and quiet at night.
Hard to operate the tv for English channels and accessing subtitles at the least

Verified reviewSmall but well-appointed room. Front desk staff very helpful and kind, appreciate them holding our bags before check-in. Included breakfast was delicious onigiri and tea.
I wish there was also a coffee option provided with breakfast. I love tea, but do appreciate a coffee to start my day. No one told us about the sauna that is in the hotel, we had to ask ourselves. It is an additional charge so we did not use it.

Verified reviewGreat, central location. Friendly staff. Clean accommodations. Great shower.
Beds were Japanese style - low to the ground. They couldn’t give us a morning snack for an early departure.

Verified review・The hotel is very close to the station. ・The outdoor lobby on the first floor is spacious and has a nice atmosphere. ・The view of Kamakura city from the top floor is nice. ・The facilities are clean and comfortable. ・The room is well-cleaned. ・The staff are kind and polite. ・The staff will fulfill your various requests. ・They decorated the shelf at the entrance to the room with flowers and photos of my father's memories. ・The purpose of our trip was to celebrate my father's 88th birthday. Hotel staff member Akimoto-san consulted with us before our stay. On the day of our stay, she supported us for an hour to take family photos at the hotel. We are very happy.
・The road from the station to the hotel was rough and difficult to find. ・We had to wait at check-in due to a lack of staff. ・The breakfast explanation was hard to understand. ・The space in front of the elevator on the first floor was narrow. ・We didn't know how to use the stopper for the washbasin in the room. ・The door to Room 51 was in a bad position, so there was no place to put our shoes. ・It took a long time to collect our luggage after checking out. I think we needed help from other staff members besides Akimoto-san. However, thank you very much for accommodating our various requests.
