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.).

This was a fantastic place to stay in Wakayama! It had everything we needed and felt incredibly comfortable—just like home. The hosts were exceptionally kind and thoughtful, even giving us a ride to the train station, which we really appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to return on our next visit to Wakayama. We highly recommend this wonderful place to everyone!

Amazing place with the best owner I have ever met since I am on booking (at least 20 years!) Hiroko is incredibly generous, passionate about people and her job. She is an excellent host! The place is super well located (just 7 ins away from the castle), family market 24/7 available just around the corner. Place is clean and spotless!

Nothing really.
The hospitality of the host and the cleanliness made the stay a comfortable one. The hostel was a home for some decades, that tells by the interior structural set up but the host has turned it into comfortable hostel rooms and mindfully add quite some decorations along the hallways, public facilities and at least the big room we stayed. These give colours to it overall in a nice and decent way.

A small hostel, run by people who clearly love what they do. Everything was thought of; flyers in the room for every imaginable activity, bathrooms and kitchen equipped with everything one could need, and the owners are helpful and happy to answer any question

Hiroko was super helpful with any questions we had, and always responded super quickly. She was able to store our suitcases for 4 weeks while we travelled to another area. She also picked us up late at night from the train station when we first arrived, and dropped us off when it was time to leave. Such a wonderful host!

Not something I didn't like, just an access note for people to know: The stairs to the second floor are very steep!
Hiroko-san was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and had great recommendations for what to do and how to get around Wakayama City. The facilities were clean and comfortable, and a great for the price and location. The kitchen facilities were very convenient. Shared bathrooms and showers were clean and comfortable. I recommend Wakayama as a city and prefecture to visit, and this is a great location to be able to walk to Wakayama Castle, the Wakayama Children's Science Museum, several other museums, a lovely river, and tasty ramen spots. If it hadn't been raining, I would have loved to use the bikes the facility offers to explore the area. This is also a great stopping over point for exploring other parts of Wakayama Prefecture. Thank you Tsukiji Hostel Wakayama!

It's cold at the common areas (corridors towards the toilet and in the toilet)
We were given the password of the hostel at about 9am that morning. We rented a car so there were two carpark lots available for us. We went into the hostel and our room. While we were settling down, the host came and introduced the facilities in the hostel. This was the first time we stayed at a place with shared toilet. I was quite worried about cleanliness but surprisingly, it was clean. There were 4 showering stations and 2 toilets in the hostel. The room was large enough for the 4 of us and our luggage. We were given enough blankets and warmers. There is a convenient shop just in front of the hostel and a supermarket 5 minutes walk from the hostel. The host was very kind and friendly. We were extremely thankful that she informed us that we had left some belongings at the hostel very quickly after we check out. Everything was smooth and we enjoyed our stay at Wakayama.
