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 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 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.).

Philippinesnothing! had the most wonderful time in Takayama :)
i booked a family room that can host up to 6 people so imagine the amount of space we have to ourselves! (couple) the property is a shared house but i am very happy to have our own bathroom and toilet... something i REALLY prefer above everything when considering an accommodation... the staff left a welcome note in our room which i find very nice and sincere... slept really well because of the generous room space, nice room temp, and cleanliness of the place... super bonus to have an elevator which is NOT common in shared houses... :) beside the property is a 7-11 konbini so it is perfect for a last minute snack or coffee run :) the location is also great coz it is just a 5-7min walk to the JR Station and if you are bound to visit the UNESCO site, Shirakawa-go, the bus station is super near the place as well... try to visit also the local market and old town area for some authentic Hida beef!!! SUPER yummy! score vintage items in small, local shops that are not tourist priced... we have thoroughly enjoyed the local, old town spirit and even the waterfront side... to me this is waaaaay better than the old town in Kyoto; Higashiyama district that has been super commercialized already... lastly, go to the riverside in the morning to see the beautiful koi and ducks swimming together in the river... it is just breathtaking... oh and dont miss the croissant at Andersen---- DO NOT MISS it... SUPER life changing hahaha!

United KingdomI understand they want to keep food and drink out of the rooms but not even providing each guest with a glass /cup in the room for a drink of water in night is unacceptable.
Clean, neat, orderly guest house with good laundry and kitchen facilities, including complimentary tea, coffee etc. Booked a private room. Reasonable en suite. Bed was a thin mattress on tatami floor, but perfectly comfortable. Long balcony with a view of streets and distant mountains. Courteous reception. Located ten mins walk from station on the same street.

Staff of the guest house was really nice! They let me drop my luggage off before Check-In time so I could go out and walk around the city. Additionally, the guest house has really useful information for tourists in the lounge.

Cosy hotel with very nice and welcoming hostess. Her English is great. In the lobby they provide a lot of information about things to see, do and eat/drink in Takayama. Fully equipped kitchen with microwave, oven, dining area.. Etc. The Japanese style room we stayed at was very well maintained, clean and had a small balcony. AC works great both to heat the room and cool it down. Close to both Family Mart and 7/11.

SingaporePerturbing snoring of others. Even with ear plug, I could still hear clearly throughout the night. But this cannot be blamed on the hostel. It was an experience to be expected and unavoidable.
Superb hostel with adequate space. I will not have claustrophia though taking a bunk bed along with 10-12 others. Sturdy locker, sufficient shared shower rooms that I simply could use straightaway whenever I needed to. More to mention, the hostel is well located to just 1 min walk to Family mart, 5 min walk to main bus and train terminals. Well equipped kitchen. One can cook and make coffee here. Fridge is ready for guests too. The prominent feature is the clealiness of common facilities. I was pretty fond of the ottoro displays, guitar, comics in the lobby area. Quite fascinating.
