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.).

United KingdomThere wasn’t any coffee in the room but an easy fix following a trip to 7-11!
Was a nice spot to spend a few nights in this hot spring town - is just a few moments to walk up to Kin No Yu, and a few minutes down to Gin No Yu. Check in was really straightforward, and all the staff in the hotel were so friendly and welcoming. The bath and shower were very nice, and never had trouble getting access to the shared facilities.

SwedenToilet was one floor down, and showers on the ground floor. With the onsens in Arima being the main attraction, you might not need the shower, so that's actually a lesser problem.
It's right in the middle of Arima-onsen, with both Gin & Kin onsens nearby. The room we had was quite spacious. The breakfast was really good - Ryokan style.

SingaporeThe water at the basins are not heated 🥲 Went during the winter so it was really cold. However, the baths had hot water.
Really clean. It is in the heart of Arimaonsen and hence is reachable to many places within a few minutes. The silver onsen is only one minute away! Staff ensured we had everything we needed. Extended one more night here because we were so comfortable.

SingaporeNothing. Didn't expect that it was Japanese dinner as we preferred Japanese dinner. Nevertheless it's a pleasant surprise. Note that there is no elevator and the rooms are from 2nd floor onwards.
Nice place to stay with helpful and friendly staff. The hotsprings are nearby by foot. Please remember to use a translator app or similar as it will help you to communicate with the staff since they mostly speak simple English.

Singaporetoilets located at level 2 but no toilet at level 3, and unfortunately my room at level 3, 😁 but it's fine for a night.
we received a very warm and sincere welcome, it is clean and comfy, walkable distance from train station, good location for exploring and to onsen pools. I would like to apologise to the staff/owner for me calling a bit loud outside the door when checking in, as I have difficulties to open the door which with 2 lock levers I couldn't figure out how to open.

I had a very nice and tasty breakfast. They upgraded my room without any extra fee. Very kind staff. He even give me a ride by his private car to the onsen at night. On the way to the station you pass by a narrow street full of little cute shops. Thank you very much 😻
