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.).

AustraliaI knew beforehand that it would be traditional Japanese bedding which is too firm for me, so I'm not going to mark the ryokan down for having firm beds. It may be important to you though.
The hosts were lovely and their place had a lot of heart in it. One felt really welcome. Yuko picked us up from the station. We dropped off our luggage at the ryokan, and she drove us to the snow monkey park. Giving us advice about the bus to get us back. Her husband cooked up a delicious meal.

Australiathe place is a little dated and sleeping on the floor was hard
centrally located on main street in Shibu Onsen near all the 9 public onsen, simple Japan style accommodation with friendly host who picked us up from Yudanaka station and made a lovely breakfast. Had a lovely sushi at Kozushi restaurant around corner (made a booking via our host)

United StatesThe location is absolutely perfect if you are going to the 9 onsen
A bit worn and outdated but it will get you into the 9 onsen - the owners are exceptionally nice.

Japanthe hosts were so lovely, they helped us with everything we needed including finding the right bus, answering questions we had about the town and restaurants, and they even drove us to the station. extremely friendly and accommodating. the facility had an “old school charm” about it that some would call outdated. to us, it felt like staying at someone’s home which was comforting. for the price, it was good value if you can overlook outdated furniture or old curtains and carpets. no coffee or meals are available but there is a kettle and small fridge in the room so we brought our own coffee and snacks.

United StatesI really can't think of anything... It's not the most luxe ryokan in town, but it's lovely! One of our group was bugged that the only bathing facilities were in the onsen, so no private bathing/shower at all, so I guess be aware of that.
Hosts met us at the train station to drive back to the ryokan, even with 2 cars since we were 5 people! Let us leave our luggage until check-in time. Really lovely room with a pretty view of the narrow town streets. Sink in the room, which is rare for ryokans! Comfy mats for sleeping, comfortably warm room (December!), delicious and hearty dinner and breakfast. Beautiful onsen, plus right across from one of the 9 public onsen. They drove us up to the entrance to the snow monkey park the next morning!
