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.).

Although the hotel is dated, it's well maintained by the lovely owners - an elderly couple. Location is great, particularly great for early morning and evening walks to enjoy the view of Itsukushima Shrine and surroundings before the town awakes. Private Family room bath available to soak away the tiredness of exploring the island. Food options aplenty nearby and Miyajima Coffee is a 2 mins stroll to kick off the morning. Good to note that guest are requested to leave their room key at reception when leaving their room to explore for the day andowners appreciate if guest can return by 10pm for the night.

It was a little cold in the room even with the heater, but we found if we closed all the doors it warmed up.
It was a very good location and very close to the food market. The staff were very lovely and very helpful :) The room was also a very cozy, traditional Japanese style that we enjoyed.

We had a wonderful stay in the hotel.the staff were super friendly and kind. They put a Smile on our face every time we encountered them. The location was amazing and helped us enjoy the magnificent island the most. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable. The Japanese style room is as featured on the website. The public bath which we could use as a couple was a nice experience. The price is quite fair compared to other places on the island and surprised us by the quality of the place. It is absolutely recommended.

- • Solo traveller
- • Twin Room with Tatami Area

My room was a little cold, but I visited the Island in december, so I think that can be expected in a building like this.
Very authentic Ryokan. I was only there for one night, but it had everything I needed. The staff, an elderly married couple, was SO nice, smiling and helpful. Spoke fine english. If I go back to Miyajima, I'll stay here again for sure.

Entire hotel (equipment and facilities) very dated (70s) although clean, neither breakfast nor dinner available in the hotel (most restaurants in Miyajima close at 5 pm).
Central location to Miyajima‘s attractions, large room, very friendly owners, free coffee and water available

We feel lucky we found an affordable hotel in Miyajima. We were right by the center so we could stop by any time. The hosts were very friendly and we felt welcomed. The room was very comfortable, with plenty of space. The bathroom was quite small but clean, so this was not a problem for us. They offered recommendations for nearby restaurants and provided a guide of the island which was very helpful.
