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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SwitzerlandThe indication on the private Onsen was not really clear if this is busy or not. We would recommend to have a more clearer indication on the door "busy or not".
The global service was excellent from the reception, the people at breakfast etc.... We had a very good experience globally. The breakfast was very good. We recommend this place also for its location.

ChinaBut I think the hardware facilities of the hotel are average, such as the large temperature difference between morning and evening during the days we stayed, the window of the room we stayed in leaked air, and even though we slept on the ground with the air conditioning on at night, the bed closest to the window was still very cold, and we could feel the cold wind blowing on our faces
This hotel has the best service we have encountered in Japan. It is very friendly, warm, and thoughtful. When we arrived at the hotel, they prepared disinfectant wipes and hot tea for us. Moreover, every staff members are very friendly and thoughtful, giving us guidance and suggestions that were very in place. They even helped us carry our luggage when we left. The thoughtful service deserves full marks

New ZealandEverything was wonderful, nothing bad to say at all.
The staff here are absolutely amazing. So friendly, and try so hard to bridge the language barrier for foreign tourists. I lost my phone in the taxi on the way to the ryokan, and the staff went to the ends of the earth to help locate it. It’s also a stone’s throw from the major Nara tourists spots. Can’t recommend a stay here enough.

United StatesOur bathroom door didn’t open and close very well, and the heat was a bit hard to control. But those were minor issues.
Location and staff and hospitality. Outstanding.

NorwayWe absolutely loved this luxury ryokan in Nara. It was a perfect ending to our 2-week trip in Japan, especially after visiting the big cities prior to our stay at Sarusawaike Yoshida. The staff was so welcoming and helpful! We really enjoyed the private baths, the roof-top lounge, and the wonderful location of the hotel. Highly recommended!

JapanThe noise from the other rooms can be easily heard. The banging noise from the water pipes is very loud too.
The location is perfect for the Nara attraction. It’s the very beautiful view from the window.
