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 reviewWe were pleasantly surprised to find hot water and tea ready for us, along with a delightful Japanese treat, upon our arrival on both days of our stay. This thoughtful touch made us feel immediately welcomed. Despite the language barrier, the staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure all of our needs were met. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay and truly appreciated the excellent service.

Verified reviewAbsolutely gorgeous. I love the garden, even in its winter state, and the outdoor bath and sauna was just amazing with the flurries of snow around. The staff were amazing, and the driver took us to the aquarium and back on our last morning before we took the train back to Aomori. The history is very special, and the food was also spectacular - it was so lovely to experience this Japanese cooking.
We ended up walking from the station to Yanagi no Yu with our luggage, but in a happy accident, we happened to come across the Keika brewery on our way. Excellent beer. We wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t walked.

Verified reviewThe food was very authentic and the staff were most helpful. This is quite and experience and definitely something one should do when visiting Japan. Something incredible happened to me - I forgot my earrings behind and with the help of the police in the next town I visited, they contacted the owner who kindly posted my earrings to me at my next stop ... free of charge!! Unbelievable service and so honest and kind.
The food, although authentic and extremely well presented and much of it, isn't what Westerners are used to. It's not that I didn't like it, but it was different and wouldn't be to everyone's taste. If you aren't adventurous with food you may want to bring along a snack ;).

Verified reviewThe best old style Onsen stay you can buy in this value!!!!! For NZD220, dinner and breakfast. Good tradition Onsen, the lady manager services is surprisingly good, and attentive although she may be in her 70s, The age, the tradition, the service. The cleanest. The family feelings.
Nothing - It is aged, the hotel and the staff, but the aged services is the best, like whisky may be I am in my 40s, it reminds me the happiest days in 90s.

Verified reviewBeautiful grounds and building. Staying here was an immersive experience. It is close to the station, and we visited the Aquarium nearby after our stay. The staff were very gracious even with a language barrier.
The Inn isn’t non-smoking. Our room and other places in the Inn smelled like 2nd-hand smoke. Our pillows were also very hard, we kept waking up because our ears hurt. But otherwise an amazing stay.
