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.).

SwedenBreakfast was a little early but definitely worth getting up for.
We booked one of the deluxe rooms, it was beautifully furnished and decorated in Japanese style. The breakfast was amazing with many small dishes to sample and it was different the two days we were there. The Ryokan is on the main street to Zenko- ji temple with many lovely gift shops. Easily accessible to Nagano central by bus or a walk of around 25 minutes

United StatesThe location is great, just a short walk along a shopping street filled with local gifts, to the Zuihoden temple which makes it easy to see the 5am Buddhist prayers. The rooms were nice, beds comfortable, and the breakfast was really good. The staff had good English which helped locating the off-site parking.

Location was PERFECT, very easy to get to from the Nagano Station and the temple was at your front door. The staff were SO friendly, felt like you were visiting a family member :) Breakfast was typica japanese brekkie which I loved. I loved having the onsen, very small but also so quiet, I had the onsen to myself most evenings!

United StatesThe futons were a bit thin, the lighting in the room is way too bright and the bathroom smelled a bit mildewy.
Loved the onsen! Appreciated the fresh cold water to drink after onsen. Loved the location and the cleanliness of the inn. Loved the robes provided each day and the tea and snacks.

AustriaThe Ryokan was truly a homey place, where we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The breakfast was great and very filling. We also loved the room, which had a great traditional feel to it and enjoyed sleeping on the futons very much. Its location close to the Zenkoji Temple was amazing too! You felt truly immersed in the atmosphere of the surroundings. The onsen bath was also very pleasant to use. Thank you for a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

GermanyIt was very very loud in the morning. First morning, from 6am onwards, other guests and staff were discussing in front of our room door which felt like they were standing in our bed. Walls and doors have zero noise protection. Second morning at 6:45am staff was placing mugs on wooden tablets, preparing for all rooms, again right in front of our door. It shook us out of our sleep, both days we were very tired as we woke up roughly. Please be considerate of people being on holiday who do not wish to be woken up. Some other room had also "wake-up service" but that service was so loud, that we heard it as well. Even though it was all beautiful, we would not come again as we love to relax and sleep on our holiday.
Staff was very kind and helpful, green tea in room had great quality and the snacks as well. Nice and traditional old house to visit for some nights. We did not try their breakfast or dinner, thus cannot judge on that.
