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.).

AustraliaSome common area facilities are less clean than most other accommodations in Japan (but to a higher standard than a international backpacker hostel).
Lovely local guesthouse. Super quiet when we were there and we slept very well. Our kids loved the tatami

We had a spacious room with a view. There's a washing machine and a dryer, which is convenient! There's also a kitchen and a shared chill room.

United KingdomI generally avoid mixed dorms but personally found this one especially uncomfortable because there was only 1 toilet and 1 shower in the whole place, and nowhere else to get changed in private. There are curtains around beds but gaps are hard to close fully.
- Excellent location, right on waterfront in bustling area near ferries and bike rental station. - Only has a mixed dorm but the owner took care to ensure I shared a bunk with other females. - Curious place, feels like a boat. - Very well equipped kitchen with enough fridge/freezer space and pleasant lounge. - Plenty of storage space for a dorm.

AustraliaThe gentleman owner was friendly and provided a tour of the facilities. Stairs are narrow, but it is Japan, so it is expected. Good cultural experience. Information sheet to how to sleep on a futon was useful. Eventually realise the best place to brush your teeth was at the kitchen sink. It was only a one night stay.

AustraliaVery steep stairs up to the rooms, they weren’t a problem for us at all but just thought it’d be worth mentioning in case that’s a problem for anyone.
This hostel was unique and cosy, the beds were comfy and warm, the room was spacious, the host was a really nice guy and recommended an amazing tiny ramen restaurant for dinner and the washing machine and dryer worked well and were cheap (something that has been a problem at lots of other hostels in Japan). Great value for money as well!

BelgiumWe had a very nice stay at the Guest House, the host was friendly and gave us some recommendations for restaurants and activities. Our room was cosy with a beautiful harbour view, the futons beds comfortable and the facilities clean. The house is very central to shops, activities and the sea (there are ferries to go to the islands where you can bike the Shimanami Kaido), and it is situated at less than 5min walk from the Onomichi station. What else to ask !
