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 reviewThe environment was very pleasant, good design throughout the property. The staff was very polite, considerate and accommodating. Food was excellent and hearty, service staff ratio was great, very attentive and friendly, works around our schedule to serve us better. Good public amenities such as a lounge room (with leisure table tennis set up) and also a fully decked out public bath facilities for a small group of guest, despite having private onsen on each villa.
Each villa’s bath is outdoors which is not ideal during cold weather. The rooms were not very big in size but overcome by the larger public area.
Thank you very much for staying at our inn. We greatly appreciate your kind words of praise. It is very encouraging for our staff to receive such kind words from you. Also, thank you for your detailed description of our inn. It was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely family. As you said, we are sorry the outside shower was cold. We are looking into that matter. We look forward to seeing you again. Please take care of yourself. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for staying at our ryokan. We hope you enjoyed your trip with your friends. I am sure there were some things we did not do well in our first year of operation. We will make more efforts to make it a wonderful ryokan. Thank you very much for your kind attention. We sincerely look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.

Verified reviewThe rooms and area of this amazing ryokan tie up with the photos depicted. Great room with our own outdoor private onsen. Make sure to check out their communal onsen (amazing outdoor two-tier onsen with great Japanese garden scenery). The food was great too, two chefs (Kenjo and Keiji) who specialize in French and Japanese cuisine concocted a harmoneous fusion kaiseki dinner every night with fresh local ingredients. Truly a unexpected highlight of our stay was the food (both dinner and breakfast were great) and we would highly recommend booking for the full board stay. The ryokan was also family friendly we travelled with grandparents and a 7 month old baby staying in 2 rooms. It was a great serene and tranquil stay and we enjoyed our stay tremendously.
3 minor points and reminders: - I think in most rooms if not all rooms, the only shower facilities are built outdoors (next to the private outdoor onsen) while it is semi-sheltered and it didn't really affect us during our stay in June, I can imagine it being a tad troublesome during the colder winter months. (we did know about this ahead of booking as it is shown clearly in the photos) - the location of the ryokan is tucked away in the hills; you will definitely need a car to get around the area to explore etc. - the communal onsen opening times are somewhat shorter than what we are normally accustomed to versus other ryokans we have stayed (I recall it being 6am to 9am; 3:30pm to 10pm) given we had full board breakfast and dinner cut into our onsen time! Would recommend others to plan better and make sure to visit the communal onsen as it is quite spectacular
Thank you very much for staying at our ryokan. Also, thank you very much for your highest praise. Our two chefs were also pleased. We will positively consider the time of the large bathroom you pointed out. We will do our best to make the inn even better when you visit us again. We look forward to welcoming you again. Thank you so much.

Verified reviewStaff are very friendly and helpful; facilities are clean and in very good condition; food is good and portion is satisfactory. They have duo-chef in the restaurant offering Japanese and French cuisines.
Pillows are too soft and too low for me. I wish there were more choices.
Thank you very much for staying at our inn. We appreciate your kind words of praise. However, we apologize for the pillow. We have Airwave pillows available for rent, apologize for not informing you about this. Our head chef does a lot of research every day. The cuisine changes every month, so please look forward to the next installment. We will strive to make our inn even better in the future. We are looking forward to welcoming you again. Thank you so much.
