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.).

We really enjoyed the lounge with the little snacks and drinks available throughout the day. Our room had a private onsen which was a fantastic way to relax after all the walking throughout the day.
Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us at Machiyado ICHIRYU for two nights. We are truly grateful for your visit and hope you had a wonderful time exploring Takayama during your stay. Hida-Takayama is a region blessed with delicious and seasonal ingredients throughout the year, offering a unique charm in every season. We would be delighted to welcome you again so you can experience a different side of Takayama next time. We sincerely hope that on your next visit, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a meal at our inn as well. It would be our pleasure to serve you. Thank you once again for your kind and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate it and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Machiyado ICHIRYU Tomoko Murai

Thank you very much for staying at Machiyado ICHIRYU and for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We truly appreciate your kind words. We were also blessed with beautiful weather during your stay, and it brought us great joy to see you heading out each day with a smile. Since you chose our room-only plan, we were happy to assist you with dinner recommendations, and we’re glad to hear that you were satisfied with them. Please note that we also offer breakfast and dinner at our inn with advance reservation. We would love for you to try them on your next visit. Although we are located right in the heart of Hida Takayama, our inn is on a one-way street, making it surprisingly quiet despite being in the city center. Machiyado Ichiryu is a great base for exploring many nearby destinations, such as Kanazawa, Okuhida, Shin-Hotaka, Hida Furukawa, and Shirakawa-go. We hope you will come back to Hida Takayama again someday. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back! Machiyado ICHIRYU Tomoko Murai

Thank you very much for staying at our small ryokan MADHIYADO ICHIRYU in Hida Takayama the other day. We were truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Your kind words brought back fond memories of your visit, and we are grateful for the time we were able to share with you. Hida Takayama is a town that offers beautiful scenery and delicious cuisine throughout all seasons. The people here are warm and friendly, and we believe the encounters you have with locals will make your visit even more memorable. We sincerely hope you will have the opportunity to return and experience Takayama in a different season. A single night is simply not enough to fully enjoy all that this charming town has to offer, so if your schedule allows, we highly recommend staying for a few days next time. We also take great pride in the meals we serve at our Ryokan. Each dish is carefully prepared using seasonal ingredients, with close attention paid to both flavor and presentation. We would be honored if you could join us for dinner during your next stay. Lastly, we are keeping your daughter and her baby in our thoughts and sincerely wish for a healthy and joyful birth. May you and your family continue to enjoy good health and happiness. All of us here at the inn are looking forward to welcoming you again in the future. As the seasons change, Takayama reveals new and beautiful aspects of its charm—please come and discover them with us. Wishing you all the best, and please take good care.

Verified reviewMachiyado Ichiryu is that unique boutique hotel that delivers on its promise of boutique personal care and hospitality. From ever present staff that fetches and escorts you everywhere to complimentary champagne and drinks and local flavourful bites. The private onsen is a cherish feature. It's surprising as the hotel is located in the middle of the town although it is near the river and springs. Pay a bit more and sample their keiseki dinners crafted by their chef served in an old renovated machiya house just across the street.
The staff can be a bit overeager hovering around you but some guests might enjoy the attention.
Thank you very much for staying at our ryokan. We also truly appreciate that you chose to enjoy additional meals with us during your stay. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed dining at our restaurant located in front of the inn. Our meals are carefully prepared by our head chef, who selects only the finest seasonal ingredients to create each dish with great care. We were especially pleased to hear that you enjoyed the fish dish served on the third day — your kind words mean a lot to us. While many of our overseas guests opt for room-only plans, we always hope that visitors will take the opportunity to experience the flavors of our carefully prepared cuisine. Hida-Takayama is a charming town where you can enjoy beautiful scenery and delicious food throughout the year. We would be honored to welcome you back to Japan, to Hida-Takayama, and of course, to Machiyado Ichiryu. We sincerely look forward to seeing you again. Warm regards, MACHIYADO ICHIRYU Tomoko Murai

Verified reviewThis beautiful ryokan has everything needed for a relaxing and luxurious stay in Takayama. The staff was so helpful and accommodating in every way. The sweet woman who worked the Friday night shift was so helpful, using a translation app to help with our questions. We extended our stay there just to enjoy another night of bliss. Our room was huge and gorgeously furnished, with an enormous soaking tub and large shower area. We enjoyed the bar with a coffee pod machine, two refrigerators and all types of refreshments, including a champagne split. The three private onsens on the ground floor were all fabulous; one could be reserved in advance and the others were space-available. The private 2nd floor lounge had all the amenities we’d hoped for, and was empty every time we accessed it. We enjoyed the sake-tasting machine, upscale coffee dispenser and prepared snacks. We had a delicious breakfast in the Inn’s annex across the street, and wished we had opted for dinner too. All facilities looked brand new and were architecturally and aesthetically calming to the eye. Everything about Machiyado Ichiryu was the pinnacle of beauty, luxury and comfort, all set in the historic and interesting town of Takayama. Thank you so much to the friendly staff for making us feel so welcome!
No complaints whatsoever.
