Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

It was centrally located in the heart of the city. We like the comfortable resort feel with a natural modern Japanese aesthetic. You can see the lit up Kumamoto castle from the hotel’s patio.

MalaysiaBreakfast is good for our 2 days stay, tho limited choices. The rooms are clean and they have air purifier in every room. We love the location, as it is very close to all shopping areas and just walking distance to Kumamoto Castle. The toilet and the shower area are separate, making it easy for a family of 4 of us to manage the timing of using the toilet and taking shower.

SwitzerlandTheir breakfast features a Western-fusion style, which didn’t quite match our preference for Japanese or Asian-style breakfast. However, that’s purely a matter of personal taste and not a reflection on the quality of the breakfast itself.
We spent three nights in one of the Yagura Rooms A and absolutely loved the decor. With the sleeping area positioned upstairs, it felt like having two separate rooms, providing plenty of space. The beds were super comfortable, and the room itself was quiet. The hotel also features a café/bar and a lovely terrace lounge with a view of the castle. Its location is convenient, close to shops, restaurants, and bars. We would gladly stay here again.

CanadaNo in-room phones. We had difficulties reaching other rooms (multiple rooms booked for our trip). Some of our elderly family members don't have personal phones. Also, there is no way to contact the reception desk—needed to go down there physically, which was inconvenient.
Perfect location, especially for first-time visitors to Kumamoto. Friendly and helpful staff.

SingaporeI would have expected more service for the price I paid. Also, there is no drop off lobby so it was very inconvenient for my family when checking in and checking out as we had to juggle luggages and kids. Wouldn’t recommend if you have a combination of: lots of luggage, driving and kids.
Very central location. Great for exploring Kumamoto. Everything is self service so it is generally convenient.

AustraliaModern, clean and well positioned hotel in the centre and near Kumamoto Temple. Our room was a loft with two large futons and a couch downstairs. Likely we were not asked to pay extra, because this is not what I have booked. No Cable TV was connected in our room either. Breakfast menu had only 4 items on the menu. Coffee machine was only working from 2 pm 😢
