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 reviewOur stay at Miyajima Shiro was a delightful experience. Nestled in a peaceful area just a short walk from Itsukushima Shrine, the ryokan offered a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The rooms were clean, well-equipped, and ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the island. We especially appreciated the cozy shared spaces that added to the calm atmosphere. Whether you're traveling with family, as a couple, or solo, Miyajima Shiro is a wonderful choice for a restful and authentic stay on Miyajima Island.

Verified reviewThe property was great, I really loved the traditional vibe in our tatami room and the facilities were very well kept. Would definitely stay again :)
When we booked a townhouse with a kitchen I thought it would be a little more equipped, we wanted to cook a meal one night of our stay but the stove is induction with not pots or pans only a kettle and a microwave. Not a huge deal, just make sure you plan ahead!
Thank you very much for your kind words about our hotel. Please feel free to use the frying pans and other items in the kitchen drawers. We look forward to seeing you again. We appreciate your continued patronage.Miyajima Shiro

Verified reviewIt was easy to find, instructions for check in were very clear and owners responded promptly to any queries. The kitchen had the basic necessities to cook breakfast and the fridge was big. It was bigger than I had expected.
This is a place that welcomes pets. This is clearly stated. Having said that, despite it being really very clean, there is a smell of dog and cat in the room downstairs. I guess this cannot be avoided. So if you have any kind of dog or cat allergy, this is not the place for you.

Verified reviewVery nice room in the home. Luckily we were the only guests in the 3-room home. The doors of the rooms are thin and would have been noisy & lacked privacy if there were other guests. Stairs to my room were very steep & would be a problem for anyone with any mobility limits. The shower was shared & is upstairs also. The rooms & bathroom & kitchen were modern & very clean. The bedding was new/clean. The kitchen had a refrigerator & was modern & well equipped for basic needs. My 4-person room had Japanese futon mattresses & was very small. House was nice but not as nice as the photos and the deck outside needed repair. The ferry boat ran often & was easy. Fantastic beautiful island.

The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet however, there are limited options to dine on the island & things close early, as the island caters mainly to day tourists.

Verified reviewGreat location and nice common space.
This place is nice but has a slight smell of dog. It would be very helpful to have some written instructions on how to work the appliances, lights, and temperature control. We were unable to turn off a bright light in the stairwell or turn on some heat in the morning when it was chilly. the owner was responsive, but would not consider allowing us to store our luggage in the unlocked courtyard to the house while they were cleaning for the next guest so that we could tour some of the island, so we had to cut our visit short. For the price we paid I would have hoped for a little more flexibility.

Verified reviewvery lovely house, clean and nicely decorated. comfortable futons, great location on the island. we could hear the deer walk through the street and their chirping
the doors were very loud so when the family next to us was in and out of the room late into the night, we could hear it every time in our room. the room was quite small so the only just fit the futons when 4 people slept in it, we had to upend the table to fit the light of the ryokan across the way lit the room very brightly until late at night

Verified reviewThe check in was easy, the house was modern and very clean. I love how they were pet friendly and had extra pet supplies. The house was a little bit of a walk away from the ferry but still in a good central location close to food options. It was close to the aquarium.
It was about a 15-20 minute walk from the ferry so I would not pack a lot.
