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 StatesWe loved its location. Off of a busy street yet very quiet and close to the creek. The lady at the front desk was super kind and helpful. She reminded me of my mother. She just made us feel like we were part of her family! We also booked meals with our stay and they were the most delicious homemade Japanese food we have ever had!

Very friendly and kind staff made our stay so special and comfortable. The dinner and breakfast served were amazing! They were so accommodating of members of our group who did not eat seafood by preparing delicious things. They prepared a beautiful birthday cake and fruit platter for my birthday. We were a large family group of 10 and everyone loved staying at this ryokan. The kind staff made all the difference.

AustraliaThe view of our room was of the neighboring house. We had pork as our main meal two nights in a row and the first was boiled in water before being dipped in sesame sauce. It was a bit bland.
It was a short walk from the main station and very close to the bus stop. The room was spacious with a separate sleeping area. There were 2 sets of baths that would rotate between men and women. One was in a room that was open to the outside. The water in the onsen came from a 'special' spring. It was nice and hot. We ate in a separate area separating by screens to you could kind of talk to your neighbours. The food was very good (mostly) with a lot of small dishes. They had coffee with breakfast (small cups).

United KingdomIt’s quite prescriptive in terms of set dinner and breakfast times and as a non-tea drinker I was told at breakfast to wait until the end before I could have a coffee.
The evening meal was amazing - I’m vegetarian and had notified them beforehand so everything tasted as good as it looked. Location was great too - just a five minute walk down the Main Street from Hakone train station. I arrived too late to enjoy the facilities such as the Onsens so I would recommend getting there at 3/4pm to enjoy it more if staying for one night.

United StatesThe inn is a bit of a walk from the station; nothing like you'd have to walk in Tokyo, but for those with a lot of luggage, you should be aware you will need to walk through town to get to it.
The property was situated right on the river, with a great outdoor space to look over it. The property was much larger than expected, with extremely large rooms, very soft beds, and great amenities that included the multiple onsen (mineral water baths). Dinner and breakfast were kaiseki meals, when we had only expected dinner, so that was a wonderful surprise. Furthermore, the staff were extremely helpful and kind. I would recommend anyone who can climb stairs staying here - the property does require you to go upstairs to your room, and downstairs for the dining room.

United StatesThat they charge for using a bath they have on the terrace
Wonderful place to stay. We stayed at a typical Japanese room that was very comfortable and had a nice balcony were you could sit and have your tea. The food was excellent;, not only beautiful but delicious. Be aware that breakfast can't be served too early. It's a little pricey, but it compensates since the food is so good. It's also very close to Hakone Yumoto station (walking distance, 7 min) .

SpainA memorable stay. The staff was warm and kind, we arrived during a rainy day and the person that welcomed us felt like a mom taking care of you with love. The room and bed were very spacious, it had everything we needed. The private Onsen in the room was amazing. The bed so comfortable (even the pillow was amazing which is very hard to find in an Hotel). Location is great (7min walk from station), but the best was the traditional dinner amd breakfast. We will cherish this day as something very special. Thank you so much!

United KingdomThe Western-style bed was just futons on a raised platform, so it's quite firm but we slept absolutely fine.
We were given such a warm welcome here. The baths are fantastic, we used both the gendered baths and the private rooftop. There aren't very many guests so you have a good chance of being alone in the gendered baths. The food was really special and unique.
