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.).

United StatesLocation is not convenient but taxi service available within 2 minutes.
Everything about the hotel was so impressive. Room was huge, can properly fit family of 6. Ocean view from the window. We could even open the sliding window to let the breeze in and enjoy the wave sound. The staff was super attentive. Right after checking in, it felt like all the staff knew who we were. Private onsen was exception. Meals were top notch. Location was a bit off but we can live with that while enjoying what the hotel has to offer.

This classic ryokan has been redone recently and the rooms and all facilities are 5-star.

United StatesThere was little not to like here. The windows facing the ocean had inlaid wire for typhoon protection, but it detracted from the ocean view.
The dinners were spectacular. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese style breakfast, but everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The room was spacious, well laid out and convenient. I enjoyed opening the window just a crack to hear the sound of the ocean waves. The location was close to a tram stop for easy access to the downtown area. The staff was great!

United StatesTo be honest, for this level of accommodation, we've had better meals, but this is just our impression after one night and one dinner.
It is a rare opportunity to stay in a place of this caliber. We were given a personal attendant in kimono for the entire of our stay. The views were spectacular and the level of Japanese service was impeccable. The room was beautiful & offered every convenience (loved the espresso maker!). The futon beds were incredibly comfortable! The overall hotel was peaceful and refined. We highly recommend taking advantage of the private onsen. The baths are small, but have everything you need and offer a lovely view of the beach & ocean. The Kaiseki meal did a great job of introducing local specialties with a sense of humor and great play on words.

This establishment has aged well and clearly pride itself in providing quality service to guests. the staff take pride in their work and do their best to make their guests comfortable even when communicating is not always easy. the dining experience was thoughtful and lovely and the private and public bath experience was quiet and calming.

United StatesGenerally the additional charges for soft drinks during lunch and dinner were pretty sus considering the 5 star quality. Would have liked to pay more on booking.com for the stay at the hotel with everything included than to not have to worry about paying money at the hotel for the dinner/breakfast and private onsen charges. Generally when you're out on vacation you worry about the cost of the hotel/trip in the beginning and pay it before hand so it doesn't become something you have to be conscious of while you're trying to relax and enjoy everything.
The dinner and breakfast were absolutely amazing. The food is some of the best Washoku I have had in a long long time. The room had a massive double king bed and a beautiful view of the ocean. The private onsen was also so amazing. Apparently, one of the taxi drivers my partner and I took mentioned that Emperor Hirohito back in Showa 1954 had apparently stayed at this location many years ago. That should pretty much describe how amazing this place is.

JapanThe taxi service was extremely busy due to the ropeway being down for maintenance; however, one of the taxi drivers mentioned that the ropeway will be operational during the winter months and taxi service will return back to normal.
The booking website failed to identify requirement to reserve dinner or breakfast. Dinner and breakfast reservation is only accepted at time of booking the stay. The staff provided excellent recommendations of places to eat and the food choose was awesome.

JapanWe stayed for a Friday and Saturday night arriving late on Friday. We checked out on the Sunday morning and would have liked to have returned to collect our bags and have a shower / onsen before our flight but this was refused as we were no longer guests. Just seems very petty at a time when few people would have been using the facility.
Beautiful ocean views, super comfortable room, bed very comfortable too. Staff very attentive.
