Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The guest house is located halfway between the train station and Matsumoto Castle, close to the shopping area and many restaurants. Rooms are wide and clean even if basic and a bit neglected. The common area offers kitchen facilities and free coffe for guests.

AustraliaThe mattress is quite thin so it was quite uncomfortable to sleep. When i key in the name in google map, it took me to the other end of the street. Be sure to follow the direction from booking.com app. The hostel is located above a restaurant. You will need to go into the restaurant and take the lift on the right hand side, immediate after the entrance, in order to get to reception.
It is close to Matsumoto station. The room looks like a storage space converted to hostel dorms. The female dorms only has 4 beds and they are split by partition. Clean bathroom and toilet. There is a lounge area with kitchen.

AustraliaPhotos show exactly what you get. It's nothing fancy. Walls are cracked and plaster is broken. But, it doesn't really matter. The beds were very comfortable and the room really only operated as a cozy nook in between bouts of exploration and food runs.
Staff was really nice. We told the resturant staff on the first floor we wanted to check in (Check in office was on the second floor and no one was waiting there for us). One staff member rushed upstairs, apologised profusely and we checked in without a hiccup. He walked us all the way to the room, showed us where everything was and how to use the utilities. Very wonderful guy. 10 minute walk from matsumoto castle and 5 minutes from frog street. 5 minutes from Matsumoto train station and bus terminal. Close to lots of resturants too

United States of AmericaThe room is very basic, some updating will definitely raise the standard , but of course may raise the price as well!!
It is a small hotel with just a few rooms. Excellent location between the train station and the castle. The room is big, and we enjoyed the common room where you can get coffee, hot water and meet other travelers if you wish.

CanadaIt would of have been nice to see cleaner carpets in the facility. During my period of stay, it was noticeably dirty. Other than that, I had a good experience staying here.
Stayed at Guest House Ichiyama Shukuba for 3 nights. The facility is close to the Matsumoto train station - 500Meter, 7min walk and it right next to the Parco shopping mall. There is an izakaya restaurant (Ichiyama Bar/壱山酒場 on the main floor. I did not have the chance to try out the food in the restaurant but it looks pretty good. The room that I stayed is on the 2nd floor. The is a big communal kitchen space on the 2nd floor and guests have free access to snacks, tea, and coffee. The toilets, showers, laundry, and locker facilities are located on the 3rd floor. Laundry costs ¥100. The buttons and menu of the washing machine are in Japanese but it was really easy to operate. There is no dryer available so I just have to hang my laundry on the balcony. There are 4 beds in the dorm room on the 2nd floor. The bed in the dorm was comfy. The two beds on each opposite end of the room have a bit more space that allows one to unpack one’s luggage. The two other beds in the middle of the room have a very narrow walk path thus one would have to unpack their luggage outside the bed space.
