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):
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.).

United StatesThe rooms were very hot. AC was set to 26C (79F). Air conditioning did little to cool the upper bunks. Everything was plywood (a trend I've noticed).
Not too far from the train station. Facilities were good. Drink ticket was a pleasant surprise.

JapanNothing.
A very interesting setup... In the front, it's a GROOVY bar/restaurant, complete with a pool table and lots of coffee table books! In the back, there's a communal kitchen/bathroom and 4 "cubbyhole" sleeping spaces to each room... My room felt a bit cramped and was without windows, but that didn't bother me at all; I was there to sleep. The sleeping space was big enough for me and the room was warm and comfortable through the night. The location is about a 15 minute walk to the station, with shops and convenience stores along the way. I felt it was a tad pricey for the sleeping space...

GermanyWalls are quite thin, so it depends on your neighbours if the night will be quiet (it was no problem for me) However, it gets quite cold at night in the rooms, so you need to either stay under your blanket or put on a coat in the room. Futons are quite thin
Very nice and friendly staff Cool common area with chargers, food, drinks etc Central location with easy access to the city sights

United StatesWhile I loved it, I think most people would see it as a remodeled garage-type facility.
This place is quirky for sure. It seems like a really old building that's been made into a ninja house of hallways and toilets and showers and a sauna. I LOVED it, but I'm giving it a regular rating, because I think most non-backpackers would be disappointed in the overall setup, build quality, and lack of cleanliness.

The hotel staff was very nice. The location was good right between the station and the Temple and only a 1 min walk from the bus stop. It was good value for the price.

United StatesUnfortunately, the AC was out. I'm sure it would've been a much better experience with AC. Even the staff seemed tired, so I'm sure it was just for this time.
The staff were very friendly and helpful overall. Pleasant vibes in the bar area. Cool decor in the main part of the building. They have a sauna, so going during the winter would probably be even better than the summer. They also have Billiards.

IndonesiaI really hate when the staff ask me to watch the video to learn anything needed for stay in this hotel. I think it was forceful and not all people could take it. But as the cheapest hotel, I could tolerate that with compulsion
The bed was very comfortable, overall is okay for me. The cleanliness was okay to. The bathroom was small, but still okay for me. The most important thing that this was the cheapest but really worth hotel near (around 2km) Nagano station.

Great central location just down the hill from Zenkoji Temple, and there is a great bakery just next door! Very cool decor, and the bar lounge area is really confortable and welcoming.
