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 review-Very near the city center and all transportation -Clean bed and facilities and nice common area -The showers were in a different room entirely so you wouldn't hear water running or hair dryers even if someone took a shower late at night -Helpful staff
-It was a huge room with about 100 dorm beds in 4 or 5 rows, which means you can hear everyone going to sleep and getting up at all different times; also I was woken up by someone else's alarm clock going off in the distance... -The lamp in the dorm bed was a bit dim (not for reading)
Thank you very much for staying at THE KITCHEN HOSTEL AO. Thank you also for your kind review and valuable feedback. We will take your comments into consideration for future reference. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again.

Verified reviewAwesome Guest House! Probably the best I went to. The staff was really helpful, even with weird demands like ours! The hostel is really clean, very well equiped and especially well situated in the city. If you need a stay in Naha, this should be it! Do not pass on it!
Nothing at all.

Verified reviewThe dorms area is pretty packed, but it's also ok, you have good privacy, and for the price it's definitely worth it. The overall facilities of the hostel were pretty good, the staff was nice, and the location is very convenient. It's a nice budget option in Naha, and a great option.

Verified reviewI liked that everything was accessible. Laundry and lockers, shower and toilets, lounge and dorm, all on the same floor. Good breakfast for ¥500 with a discount for guests, a password to access the dorm that changes every day, and it made me feel safe. Comfortable beds, pillows, and blankets. Great location very close to the prefectural office monorail station.
Thank you for choosing our hostel. Thank you also for your review. We will continue to do our best to make our hostel a comfortable place for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you again.
