Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyIt seems like the hotel was a luxurious hotel in the 90s but now it feels old and they could do a bigger effort with cleanliness, specially the bathroom that was quite mouldy.
It is literally right in front of the train station, 2 minutes walk.

SingaporeIt is an old fashioned hotel. Still using key to room and turning knobs in bathroom. No big issue.
Mar 30-Apr 1. Hotel is just next to train station. Exit is the other side from Himeji Castle. Room was clean and comfortable although we found the bed a bit small. (We are mid sized Asians). Reception is on second floor. Walk to the other station exit and the buses to Himeji attractions are just there. There is a tourist info centre at the train station. Lots of eateries near train station and along the walk to Himeji Castle.

AustraliaNothing to dislike. Everyone we encountered at the Nikko made our prolonged stay over a busy time of year one of the most memorable in recent years.
My wife's family live in Himeji & Amaji so the Nikko was ideally situated for visiting family and the train station is within easy walk. We have dined there in the Nikko restaurants over many years but never had the pleasure of staying there. This was our first stay. Without realising, the room we initially booked was far too small for us which was definitely our fault. The reception staff were extremely helpful in finding us two alternative rooms over the 9 nights which was not easy due to the hotel being heavily booked over the new year holiday period. The reception staff went out of their way to make our stay a positive one including organising for our luggage to be forwarded to our next hotel in Kyoto using Yamato Courier Service. A coffee catchup with family in the lounge was delightful especially the delicious sweet treats! The teppanyaki restaurant is one of our favourite dining places whenever we return to Himeji. The breakfast buffet incorporating Western and Japanese offerings was excellent. As were the friendly dining room staff who recognised us each morning during our lengthy stay. My wife particularly appreciated the kind assistance offered to her as she was wearing a hand brace. Will definitely stay at the Nikko again. Thankyou for looking after us!!!

AustraliaRooms are small, but we expect that and get used to it. No communal lounge, which would be agood feature for places witlh small rooms.
Great value cheap hotel right next to the station (if you're sick of lugging those heavy bags) and walking distance of the castle. Otherwise it's a pretty standard 'business hotel', very clean, modern and comfortable, with all sorts of amenities offered, but a small room especially for two people!
