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.).

The hotel was a short walk from the eki/station (and the directions on the website were very helpful!). Check-in went very smoothly on the machines, and a front desk attendant helped us buy breakfast tickets for the next morning (note: the staff was very friendly and helpful, despite our rusty Japanese). The front lobby amenities were great (esp. the lotions!), and the room was perfect (clean, spacious, with a small desk to put items). Coin laundry was available onsite, although the status of one of the three machines didn't match what was shown on the in-room tv infochannel. The breakfast here was very solid and allowed us to sample a lot of the local Sendai specialties (e.g. zunda mochi, gyutan curry). Would definitely stay here and buy breakfast here again!

South AfricaA reception staff member warmly greeted me at the door and assisted me with a small issue I had with my payment method. She was fantastic! The rest of the staff would also warmly greet every time I passed by reception. I reccomend this hotel to anyone looking to stay near Sendai station. Well done to them!

ChinaEverything is self-help from check-in to check-out. It may be efficient but lack of human-touch.
Location is great and very close to Sendai station and the morning market. Compared to other hotels I stayed in this Japan trip, the room was much bigger and better. Offering two beds instead of one bed is very helpful. Breakfast is Japanese style so be prepared.

SwitzerlandIt's my second time stoping at a Fresa Inn hotel and I must say I' always surprised by the quality of the room and service despite the price being quite cheap (similar to APA Hotels but you get a wider and better room). Near the Sendai train station (about 5min walk)

NetherlandsCertain English-speaking tourists in the restaurant were a bit noisy, but this is a minor thing.
We really liked the Sotetsu Fresa Inn in Sendai, staff was friendly and the location is good. We backpacked about a month through Japan, and afterwards I can say that the best and most memorable hotel breakfasts were eaten at this hotel. They have a good Japanese (and also Western) style breakfast with variations in dishes in between days, the view from the restaurant on the street is also awesome as you can just watch people as they pass to work.

United StatesThe rooms were a little small and the beds could be a little more comfortable.
Good location and lots of food options nearby. I stayed in a connecting room which is a fantastic setup when traveling with kids. The TV shows whether there is any washing machine in use, which is really convenient. The staff were also very friendly.

PolandVery small room, where you have to sit on the bed since there are no additional chairs and no space for them. No wardrobe, just couple of hangers. Suitcase has to be stored under your bed with everything inside
Located near the station, shops and restaurants nearby. a large selection of free cosmetics. Good breakfast

TaiwanThere was a slight unusual odor in the bathroom, which I later suspected might be from the hand soap. I would suggest checking the source of the smell for confirmation.
The location is within an acceptable distance from Sendai Station. There are many good restaurants in the area. I liked the bed—it supported my body well and wasn’t too soft. There were many free complimentary amenities, such as face masks and lotion, available in the hotel lobby.

BelgiumThe room was very small, with very little place for keeping a bit suitcase or hanging the clothes around. Not ideal for long stays (nearly 10 days).
Very close to the railway station that is the core of the city, so very convenient for transport and for finding a place for having a bite, morning and evening. Friendly staff, very clean and pretty new.
