Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaA little walk from the centre of town - but would not a problem in good weather.
Great little hotel with excellent service. Good restaurant and comfortable rooms. Lots to look at in this hotel - like a mini museum filled with artefacts and historical memorabilia. Good parking too.

MalaysiaFew Key times to take note: Check out is at 10am, which felt very early Before leaving we thought of having another soak, but 9.30am they have a cleaning schedule for the baths for 2 hours Breakfast was only up until 9am And us sleepy heads woke up at 8am You could guess the rush we did, but we managed!
Staff were very courteous and friendly Room was spacious and all amenities provided In-house Onsen was superb! Even the other guests were very friendly and relaxed The fact that they even hung a placard outside my room with my name on shows their attentiveness Neighborhood is quiet, very few tourists. We discovered a gem of a place in 福一 which serves Unagi by a family just across the bridge

New ZealandThis Hotel is nearby to many ski fields its a bit older however, what you get in room size is very generous. We were allowed to park onsite & it was free. The Onsen was really great with both indoor & outdoor options. The staff were very courteous especially an older gentleman who was actually inspirational he would have been over 70 & was always doing something. the room looked out at the mountains & was Tatami style plenty of space with its own wc kitchen area including a large fridge. Great tea pouring equipment. We ate at a restaurant nearby called 'little hokkaido' the food here was amazing as were the staff.

United StatesSometimes when we asked for something, the service was slow. However, the staff was friendly whenever we asked them questions and they helped us greatly. We were also so happy they had snow boots we could borrow to walk by the nearby mountains during the snowy season.
The buffet breakfast was delicious. It was a lot of food for an affordable price. I recommend others to book with the breakfast as well! The location near the snowy mountains was amazing to be around. It was a very tranquil snow town. We were mostly looking to book a ryokan with an onsen and we really enjoyed the indoor public onsen. :) I especially liked the tatami room onsen! Wow! Also the natural mountain water available for drinking, located right outside the entrance to the onsens, tasted so good my friends and I were always stopping by to take a sip during our stay there.

United StatesThe only downside was the location and how far it was from the ski resorts. A car is a definite must-have because there are no train stations near that area.
Loved everything about the place. The room was comfortable, clean, and warm for the winter! The onsen was so amazing after a long day on the slopes! The place is very well maintained even though it was an older building. Would stay again. Loved the futons and traditional Japanese aesthetic.

JapanThe room was a bit small for two persons.
The hot bath was very nice and relaxing. The restaurant offered tasty food and we could wash our clothes in the hotel. We travelled by bicycle. The hotel was totally prepared for this and offered us even a room to dry our stuff. The staff was exceptionally nice to us.

SwitzerlandThe staff at the front desk wasn't very friendly. I was asked what time I planned to check out before I even received my room key, and every question I asked seemed to be a burden to them. It's the first time I felt so unwelcome in Japan, which is really unfortunate.
The room was spacious, with comfortable futon bedding and good pillows. The onsen was pleasant, even if nothing particularly exceptional. I appreciated the traditional Japanese style of the room, which created a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Everything was clean and well-maintained, which made for a restful stay.

SingaporeWarm friendly helpful welcome by the hotel receptionist Yuri. Smooth fast check in. Comfortable spacious clean room and nice onsen. Dinner was wonderful too. The owners are a family. Met Ms Hiroko Misumi and her sister in law who both run the hotel. They are always available to lend assistance to you. Greatly appreciated their help to resolve an emergency. All 3 individuals we met speak English. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of some walls or facade of the hotel building as you approach. Once inside, everything is as well appointed and decorated like a grand ryokan.
