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.).

New ZealandWe found the onsen beautiful but at times a bit too hot to enjoy.
Breakfast was great with lots of options. The staff were so lovely and very willing to assist with rides to see the snow monkeys, as well as picking us up at the train station and dropping us at the bus stop for the ski bus. They also provided space in the lobby to store skis.

AustraliaI knew it was a Japanese style hotel but taking shoes off every time we came in & out was a pain. Futons were ok but the tiny, bead filled pillows were horrible - my coat rolled up was preferable. Our sliding door opened up onto a winter wonderland of snow covered open space, but my son & I were told we were not allowed to access the space. There was an unpleasant smell throughout the hotel - maybe from the onsens? No/few food options nearby.
Pick up & drop off service was super helpful. Communication prior to stay was speedy. Private onsen was an amazing surprise.

JapanIt was snowing when we arrived. They have a shuttle that shows up at the hours a train arrives and we were surprised they were there to pick us up. It really made it easier for us. The room was spacious and had amazing views of the snowed on mountains and roofs all around. They also had additional blankets, ready to be used when needed. When we arrived, we hadn't booked for dinner, but there was a nice little hole-in-the-wall restaurant nearby that they directed us to. On the next day we did book for dinner and I would highly recommend it. It was pretty amazing. Finally, the Onsen facilities had both an indoor and outdoor one (male and female separated). On a snowy day, the outdoor Onsen was incredibly nice and picturesque.

The staff were so helpful and receptive. They took us up to the Snow Monkey park and picked us up again. It snowed overnight and they drove us to the train station in the morning. We had a private onsen room which was marvellous. Also the clothing and food included was beautiful.

Amazing onsen. Massive room. Loved the Japanese pjamas. Good food. Beautiful staff. We couldn’t find somewhere open for dinner and hadn’t booked at the hotel so the concierge phoned a local place (that has turned us away already due to being g full) got us a booking and walked us there.

SingaporeSurrounding is quite and not much restaurant nearby. Need to walk a bit!
Even though hotel not that very far from the train station, but good thing is they allocate driver for pick up the guest which I like very much. On my arrival, suddenly heavy snow and very good have shuttle. The hotel also arrange free shuttle to Snow monkey resort. The onsen is superb with indoor and outdoor. The food is nice too. We have a very good experience! Even though staff may speak little English, but they are polite! Highly recommended!

AustraliaIt had a bit of a weird smell and is a bit dated, but it was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The traditional kaiseki dinner was good to try once with lots of different foods, but wasn’t really to our Aussie family’s taste (so I shouldn’t have included dinner in our booking).
Loved the outdoor onsen. Rooms were clean (if a bit dated). But worked ok for our family. The breakfast buffet was good, with plenty of options. Location was good, about a 5 minute walk from the station. Great to have a free shuttle to station with luggage and shuttle to snow monkey park.

AustraliaThe car parking arrangements were generous but a little awkward with concierge-only access to the parking area. The total bathroom area was generous but this was somewhat compromised by separation of the vanity, bath area and toilet spaces. Room lacked a hairdryer.
On site onsen was a nice bonus and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The rooms were very spacious with plenty of luggage storage options. Excellent buffet breakfast with broad food and beverage choices.
