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 StatesI wish they offered pickup from the train station. We also wanted to use the bikes available at the Hotel but there was only one so we couldn't. This isn't a negative for the establishment per se, but we also couldn't rent one from nearby hop on/off biking spot. If you are not hooked into the Japanese system already, it is impossible to do so.
This is a family run traditional(?) Ryokan. It is a bit away from the city but if you hop on any bus, it will take you to the city center quickly. They don't offer breakfast or dinner but there is one nice breakfast place close by as well as few Ramen/sushi restaurants which we liked. Best thing about here was the lonely and eerie atmosphere(almost haunted) mixed with the warmth of a family owned establishment. Perhaps it was off season but there were many guests by the number of shoes at the entrance. Rooms have tatami mats and sleeping rolls as typically found in Ryokans, however you should expect fewer amenities in the rooms compared to a regular Hotel. Owner was very helpful and polite lady, she had great English so we had few chats. I also like their cute little dog. Rooms do not have showers so you do have to use the Onsen. There is one for men and one for women. However since they don't have too many rooms/guests, it is possible to arrange one of the Onsen for 1/2-1 hour personal use. I think that was great.

United StatesThe ryokan carpeting and furnishings are a bit tired, and the common spaces were a bit untidy.
The host is sweet and kind and arranged to pick me up and take me back to the station. The small onsen is clean and quiet. The room was large and comfortable.

AustraliaWe loved our stay in this authentic Japanese inn. The owner was very friendly and helpful, even dropping us at the train station. The room was exactly as pictured and had a lovely feel to it. The location is away from the main Kanazawa attractions, but it's an easy place to get around, so it's not a problem!

GermanyThe location is quite far from the main attractions of the city, but the price makes up for it and the amenities in the end are very good.
Everything was very clean and tidy. The owner was too kind and ready to help. She took me to the train station twice during my stay. I liked the onsen and the room was also comfortable. I liked also the traditional setting or the ryokan.

AustraliaHost was really nice and accommodating. She walked us through use of facilities. Room was really nice with nice view. Closed doors and turned on heating while we were away which was appreciated because it was winter. Was fairly good with us even though we arrived a little earlier then check-in. Nice well maintained onsen.

United StatesPlace is old, un-clean, boxes and rubbish (old tires) strewn and piled up all over. Stained carpet, and walls. Looks like the office/front lobby used as a storage/gathering area for crap from all over. Damaged hall way floors covered up with planks and carpet pieces. VERY DISAPPOINTED! We did not stay, left almost immediately. Would not go back. Can not believe the price charged for this place - we will demand our money back.

Beautifully historic and rich experience. The onsen was the perfect thing to come back to after a long day of walking. The bed was quite comfortable, had a very good sleep! Beautiful touches like being given robes. The host spoke good English so easy to communicate, which was appreciated. Would recommend to anyone :)

IsraelThe location is not the best but if you want Ryokan you need to be a little bit far from the center. The buses were good enough for us to get around.
First of all the staff is amazing. Akiko helped us so much with information, calling places for us and even taking us from the station and back with her car. Secondly, the Ryokan is beautiful and is the traditional Japanese experience with the Japanese garden view. The onsen were very nice as well. Couldn't recommend enough.. also , nice restaurants( sushi, Ramen) near the Ryokan for dinner.
