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 KingdomThe price of the evening meal. It was a shame the pool wasn't open.
The views from the room across the bay were fabulous. The room was spacious, beds comfy. Plenty of choice at breakfast. We loved the gardens and walk down to the beach. The onsen was good and the outside onsen had views of the sea. Staff excellent and very attentive. Location good easy to get into town. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which tasted delicious looked like a beautiful piece of art but each dish was small.

United StatesThe cleanliness and maintenance of the area are truly commendable. The attention to detail in keeping the space clean and well-kept is evident and greatly appreciated. It reflects a high standard of care and professionalism. The consistent cleanliness and maintenance contribute to a positive environment and experience for all. Overall, the upkeep of the place is exceptional and speaks volumes about the dedication to providing a pleasant and hygienic setting.
Location was wonderful, not far from some historical sites. Nice private area with a garden overlooking the ocean. However, not a lot for kids to offer or do at the facility.

CanadaI would have liked a better AC in the room, as it is quite humid and warm for sleeping.
The location is lovely and excellent for exploring Shimoda with a lovely walk down the cliff road and back up again. The room was spacious for two, but lacked air conditioning and a fan in the bathroom. The beds were good and the staff were very welcoming and delightful. The Japanese breakfast buffet was plenty, the “western” breakfast a little short on fresh croissants and fruit, with hot foods being lukewarm. However, the service is impeccable and gracious. The shuttle bus is very regular and efficient to bring travellers to and from the train station. We loved our time in Shimoda and the graciousness of all the many people we met.

We stayed on the 6th floor right up the end in a room with an ocean view, which was spectacular. The room was comfortable and (mostly) clean, the onsen was refreshing, breakfast was good, and the service was excellent. Would stay again.

SingaporeHotel public bath was quite crowded and some parts were a bit dated. It's not really walkable to the town so we had to depend on the shuttle bus which ends quite early before 6pm
View from the room was lovely. The room was also spacious for two.

AustraliaParking, check-in, room view, location... everything was wonderful and better than years ago as the hotel has had a refresh. Highly recommend if you want a great Shimoda hotel but dont require being on a sand beach like Prince Shirahama or Tatado Yakatokan. The bay below the Tokyu bar far the best for swimming with no waves and crystal clear water.
