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.).

SingaporeThe onsen did not provide shampoo/conditioner/face wash which was a surprise to us as most onsen hotels will provide such amenities. The hotel is very far away, although the drive was scenic, we ended up arriving late for dinner. It is a must to book half board if staying here. This is a ranch style hotel, and the space is huge. Staying furthest away from the main block, we have to drive to take breakfast and visit the onsen to save time walking. (We walked to the onsen in the night before and took at least 15 minutes maneuvering through the other blocks of cottages before we reached the onsen - the signs were all faded in colors and directions were not clearly shown!) Centipedes were found in the bathroom (hiding underneath the bathmat of the shower area) of the room -not sure what can be done but my daughter refused to bath in the bathroom because of this! We noted that it can't be helped as the hotel is this near to nature, but maybe room servicing team can check and clean the rooms better? (note the bathroom has no windows, so maybe the centipedes crawl in from the sewage pipes?) Overall, the room is big and spacious but the futons are too thin for the platform (unlike tatami floor, it is too hard to sleep on the platform beds with thin futons!)
Food was great as we requested for Wagyu beef BBQ for dinner at extra costs. Buffer breakfast had a considerable good spread but they closed very punctually at 10am. The onsen was great with view of Aso Alps if you visit before dark or early in the morning before they close for cleaning. The hotel staff were attentive as they noticed that we forgot to turn off headlights of our car after checking in and called us by the room phone to alert us! Although we stayed at the farthest block away from the main block, we were able to park our car near our block and only dragged our luggage for a short distance! We arrived after dark due to the distance of the place and was texting the hotel to inform them that we will be late for dinner. They were kind to respond and guided us to dinner first before going to the room.

SingaporeOur bathroom reeked of stale urine. Was silly to carpet the toilet floor. The humming from the generator was particularly disturbing at night as the surrounds were so quiet.
Beautiful rustic surrounds with good food. Amenities were decent but not very clean.

SingaporeThe location may not be the most convenient so I would recommend this place for those who are driving.
Everything in Kuju Kogen Cottage surpassed my expectations - from the hospitality of the staff to the breathtaking view outside the window of my room! Mr Yosuke delivers exceptional service with a personal touch. For example, when he found out that we had difficulty booking a cab to get to the cottage, Mr Yosuke drove down personally to pick us up from the state. He was also very attentive to details, providing us with map and info about the Kuju mountains and arranging for taxi pick up when he found out that we were interested in hiking the mountains. The staff at the cottage were also wonderful and patient, and tried their best even though they may not speak fluent English. I love the food served, especially the bbq dinner which comprised generous chunks of quality beef. The room was top-notch, cozy with amazing views, same goes for the hot spring located within Kogen Cottage. It was a truly unforgettable stay:) We even extended our stay by one night!
