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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

ThailandChose this hotel because you can see the famous Tori Gate in the ocean, from your hotel room. At night, we could open our windows and sleep listening to the waves. Room size was bigger than average Japan. Good for 1 night stopover stay.

Best hotel room view for the price. All rooms have a view at the shrine, including the breakfast area. Good size room.

SingaporeThe hotel is situated beside the coast facing the sea. All the rooms in this hotel are facing the sea, although do note that there is no lift in this one so you have to carry them up slowly up the stairs The staff was nice and friendly. Helped us with the check-in and provide a guide to the layout of the hotel. Since this building is the annex building, if you wish to go for their onsen, please note that you will need to walk over to their main building down the road. The staff will inform you on that as well.

Hong KongThere is no lift, and we have to take the luggage up 2 floors. Also, we live in Japanese style room, and we have to setup the bed our self.
The breakfast is good! The location of the hotel is very good, it very near to the shrine. I can see the beautiful pacific ocean and the shrine from my room, and when I open the window, I can hear the sound of the wave, I like it so much!

Our favorite place in Oarai! Right on the beach, with the ocean torii on one side, and the giant torii on the other. The nicest staff in the world-helpful, patient, funny, warm & friendly. Guests my use the onsen at the Oarai Hotel. Don't pass up the opportunity. The lobby has a Hawaiian theme. Oarai Annex Breakfast is our favorite meal in Oarai! Great quality and variety with another amazing view.

CanadaThe hotel and hallways have a certain smell and look to them that are a bit off-putting. As well, there is no elevator so if you stay on any of the higher floors, be prepared to drag your suitcase up a few flights of stairs.
The location was fantastic, right next to the beach, you could see the sunrise directly from your room, or walk right up to the tori gate on the rocks as well. The breakfast provided far exceeded my expectations and was delicious. Great bang for your buck.

United StatesDon't trust Booking.com's directions; they give you directions to a different hotel nearby. The address is correct though, so copy-paste the address into Google. The bed isn't the most comfortable. Everything else was great.
Property is right on the beach. I could see Kamiiso no Torii from my room window. Staff were very helpful and even let me keep my bicycle inside the lobby under the stairs.

The staff were so kind and attentive and the views from my room and from outside the hotel at just incredible. I loved going to sleep listening to the ocean where I could hear the waves outside my room. And the room itself was beautiful with wood floors and work space - much larger than the typical hotel room in Japan I had stayed in, too!

Beautiful and close-up view of the sea and kamiiso no tori! The hotel also gives access to the ofuro at Hotel Oarai, which provides a sea view while relaxing in the pool~ Breakfast was hearty and yummy, and staff were helpful too! Hotel was also right outside the bus stop

ThailandIt is at the very good ocean view place. It is in front of the favorite place, Oarai Isosaki shrine and Kamiiso-no Torii. We go by bicycle, about 2.2 km from the Oarai station. The hotel staff are very nice and warm welcome. They support like a family. From the room we can open the window getting the ocean wind and sound.

SingaporeDo take note that there's no lift (elevator) in the building, only stairs. It's advisable to travel light when planning to stay over. For people with knee problems, it is better to write in to check with the hotel staff.
We had a wonderful stay. The place was beautiful, comfy and cosy. The view out of the room and at the dining area was an amazing view of the ocean. It was incredible to view the sunrise at the Torii which was just within 5 mins walk. The breakfast was very delicious too. We definitely recommend this place for people who want to rejuvenate themselves.
