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 reviewAmazing first time experience at traditional ryokan as well as first time onsen. I think we have been spoiled for life by our stay. Nishimuraya Honkan definitely set the bar high. From the in-room dining service with our lovely and joyful Yu-san who was very attentiveto our needs, to the delicious menu prepared by chef who catered to our raw vs cooked requests, and to to tranquil and healing environment of the grounds and onsen. Well kept and maintained. We loved having a drink or tea by the window overlooking the koi pond. I enjoyed the lounge after a bath. And cannot forget the amazing, relaxing and healing experience of the onsen on site. It was so clean and beautiful we did use any of the other onsen in town even though we had the pass! Like I said, Nishimuraya Honkan set the bar high.

Verified reviewIt was the most memorable hotel stay in my life and best birthday away from home hands down. Thanks to some blogger who went to this hotel for their honeymoon I was able to research and plan my stay way in advance . My actual experience exceeded any expectations and probably ruined every other hotel stay I will have . Food, service, architecture, garden - I am simply short for words to describe how happy and honored I was to be this hotel’s guest . Thank you for making a once a life time memory both for me and my son ❤️

Verified reviewMeals: Incredible dining with fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. Meals of the highest caliber. Service: Friendly, prompt, courteous service at every single step and every single inquiry. Everyone I met was kind and helpful. In addition, they offer extra services, such as a free shuttle to and from the station, and an affordable in-room massage to elevate your experience further. For women, female staff will also help you dress in your yukata with obi. Everyone is very professional. Room: Comfortable, clean, and beautiful. Modern toilet, with great heat and water pressure from the shower. The futons were very soft and easy to sleep on. The hotel itself is full of beauty, from the garden to the museum. The onsen was nice and hot. The hotel is like being in another world. Location: Very proximal to many points of cultural interest. Most of the cultural aspects (Onsenji, sacred onsens, river stroll), are accessible all day. There are unlimited dining and shopping options nearby. The locals are also very kind. Amenities: Everything you could ever need was provided. Yukata, geta, sandals, onsen pass, face care, hair care, toiletries. Bike and helmet rental was easy and free, but do plan to reserve ahead as they only have so many bicycles.
seasonal cuisine and attentive service to the comfort of your room and the surrounding cultural charm. It is a joy to know that the amenities and special touches, such as yukata assistance and the bike rental, added to your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Kinosaki Onsen again soon!

Verified reviewThe hotel staff were amazing. The food was amazing. It was very nice to have a choice of Yukata in the room for women. Our treat was to have a private onsen in the room and wow, we had such a beautiful private garden. Well worth it.
Nothing but top tip, ask to double up the mattresses for an improved sleeping on tatami experience.
