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):
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.
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.).

ItalyUnforgettable experience! The place is amazing, the staff very kind (especially the lady at the reception desk, she speaks very good Ensligh). We tried the traditional Japanese dinner and it was delicious (they also managed to cater my food allergies, thing that is not always to take for granted in Japan). They have a tattoo-friendly public onsen, too. Absolutely recommended!

United KingdomThe futon was a little too hard for us and - visiting in the summer, we would have appreciated a blind/curtain covering all the windows so we didn’t wake up quite so early (in our room there was a higher window without a covering)
Lovely welcome, excellent location, wonderfully decorated property which is lovely to spend time in - we appreciated the coffee in the lounge, the delightful Onsen and the absolutely delightful breakfast. It was a lovely surprise that the Japanese set breakfast was different for each of our two mornings.

DenmarkFrom you enter the reception you are met with a beautiful traditional Japanese interier, it is very well done. Everyone there were very polite and respectful, from staff to other guests. We three women arrived around 16, were able to select a cute yukata each we wore as much as possible for our one night stay, and were shown our room which were as big as a small apartment. We choose to go directly to the onsen which had just opened for the afternoon and had the place for ourselves. Very well stocked with brushes, hairties, lotions, everything free to use! the rooms were nice and comfortable, there was a beautiful tea set for us to use so we had a tea party in our yukatas, before dinner. We had paid for the dinner which was serving after serving of small dishes and a particularly tasty hida beef with miso dish. The beds and shower were great, nothing to complain about there, we had the traditional breakfast the day after with a self serve bar of drinks such as tea, coffee, juice and milk. Oh and we also went down to the onsen before breakfast and were once again alone to relax and take our time. It was probably the most expensive stay we have included on our trip but it was also by far the best experience we have had, and can recommend anyone to try it even just for a night like us, if not more ☺️

United KingdomI loved it. Totally loved it.
ryokan Asunaro is beautiful, the welcome warm and enthusiastic and they have thought of everything to make your experience as great as possible. It’s close to the station but just a short walk from the centre. The dinner I booked with them was simply sublime and I took Japanese breakfasts on both days and each was different. I cannot praise it highly enough.

SingaporeOnly allowed to book dinner for 1 night although we stayed 3 nights. Public bath was too small, without outdoor bath. We also didn’t like the notice in the elevator asking for good rating in exchange for a gift.
Room was clean and spacious with lovely decorations and nice facilities. Staff were very friendly. Location was good. It was a comfortable place to stay during the float festival. Breakfast and dinners were sumptuous.

It was like stepping into another world. This is kind of an introductory experience of a ryokan, with everything explained. I appreciated that, and I'll feel more confident visiting another ryokan later. The kaiseki dinner was very special and the breakfasts were also very nice, and I appreciated that they catered for our food preferences.
