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.).

Green grass is an old school type of guesthouse with about 10 rooms but we didn't see or hear anyone else during our 3 days there. Yuka the live-in manager is lovely and helpful. It's in a very quiet neighbourhood and just a short walk from the train.

The location is in a quiet neighborhood that is a short walk from a train station (Wadazuka), and a little longer walk to the beach. You have a private room with a toilet and the door to your room has a lock. You share shower space and there are tables for eating if you would like.

Very conveniently located in the heart of Kamakura. Very friendly and welcoming host who runs her own fashion brand (!) of which you can buy cool merchandise on site. I booked a room that was advertised without any bathroom but ended up having a toilet and sink in the room anyway, and was also very big with a tatami area. Great value for money! The shower room has a small sento where you can warm up. Overall, great experience!

Definitely was an older property and a bit run down, there was mold in the sink and old stains etc. It was a 16 minute walk from Kamakura station, and I walked as Kamakura station was super busy with other tourists, and not worth getting on the train for one stop. But super close to the next stop so if needed it’s accessible via public transport. Doesn’t have a kitchen to prepare food, and definitely was more pricey to eat out then Tokyo!
Staff were lovely and sweet when checking in, place was relatively clean and comfortable. It wasn’t noisy so good to sleep and a little out the way. However within walking distance to a supermarket, convenience store, local train station and some restaurants. Does have a small fridge in rooms to store food. The train station being near meant it was easy to travel around using the kamakura train.

Transfer to the Enoden Line at Kamakura Station, then get off at Yuigahama Station. From there, it’s easy to find the hotel using Google Maps. The hotel is a large private house—very cozy and peaceful. I stayed in a twin room, which was spacious, and I woke up to the sound of birds in the morning. Both the room and the shared bathroom were very clean. It was a wonderful stay.

Bed was uncomfortable for me. I did my laundry here and it had just an awful, musty smell. Whole property is in desperate need of renovation, especially bed, carpets and hallway. It all had a stale, humid feeling.
Location is good, it is in a small street so you can't hear the traffic. Not far away from the main station. I loved the tatami part of my room. Toilet was very clean.

Stated as above
It was not worth to stay because they changed the bed sheets and pillow case only. Dust was found on the cabinet, fridge & tv. long hair and dirt found on the carpet, mat and patio door rails. I got sneezing and itchy eyes. The Japanese table wagged when I was writing. Even the common area seemed no clean up at all. No professional practice.

The bed mattresses are well above average for Japan! We booked one night and will stay for at least three. The location is extremely close to very good restaurants and diverse shopping. It's close to the beach. It's close to the train station. Our first room had a private toilet but shared shower. Our second room has a private full bath. The staff are wonderful. This town is a hidden gem, with lots of walking paths, ancient caves and rock formations, etc. The locals are so kind. One can find peace and quiet, or bustling markets. We really like it!

Breakfast was good, but outside of what I am used to as an American. Funabashi is not a tourist town. But I enjoyed wandering the backstreets. I had the best sushi in Funabashi, I ate in one month in Japan! Very traditional sushi restaurant one block from the hotel. Excellent! And the restaurants in the train station were as usual very good.
