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 had no complaints, although travelers should note that most rooms do not have their own bathroom.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the ryokan was very clean and well kept. When coming back on wet days, our umbrellas were dried and shoes put in a dryer if we wanted. The shared bathrooms and showers were spotless and clean. A mix of Japanese and international travelers were using this ryokan, and it close to multiple train and subway stations.

United StatesNothing that I disliked, only standard caveats for booking a ryokan--shared bathroom spaces; thin walls and doors, so you can hear what's going on in the hall. I had only one night where other guests were being a little loud going in and out of the room. If I were to stay here again, I would opt for one of the rooms with a private bathroom if I were staying for more than a few days since it was a bit of a hassle carrying my toiletries to and from the bathrooms each day.
Spent a week here during my visit to Tokyo. Only about a 5-10 minute walk from Gotanda station in a very nice neighbourhood with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Staff were very friendly. Single room had enough space to be able to open a large suitcase and had a lovely tatami smell. Perfect for a solo traveller who just needs a place to crash during the night. The public bath was also fantastic after long days of exploring the city--it's in a separate showering area, so you can lock the door and enjoy the bath in private. The whole experience made my stay in Tokyo a lot more special. :) Thank you!

United KingdomIt can take a little getting used to sleeping on the roll out mattresses, but the ones provided were comfortable. The room was quite light from the window and there didn't seem to be a way to make it darker (no curtains/blind).
A lovely Ryokan, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and very thorough in explaining how everything works and where everything was located. The room was the largest we'd stayed in whilst in Japan, and the tea and snacks provided were very nice.

The private rooms with bathroom are an incredible value — and with tatami flooring plus futons, offer a real taste of Japan. Flawless service. Adjacent to riverside park. Tons of nearby shops. Super convenient to Shibuya, Shinjuku, and all of central Tokyo.

Great location, especially for Sakura viewing. Supermarket and family market are nearby and also a cute cafe (Saison bakery). Great to have your own spacious room. Super clean. Staff are so so friendly and helpful. Best part is it's near the river and not in the crazy of skinjuku or shibuya, but they're still easy to access on the yamamote line!
