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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SingaporeThe buffet breakfast, as there are a few timings that you can choose , if you choose a later timing, most of the grilled dishes are finished and didn't get replenish. Understand that the hotel offers Kaiseki meal plans but booking.com doesn't have that option for you to choose. We booked through booking.com thinking that we will get kaiseki meals, but was told that we need to specify during our booking, which doesn't seem to be available on the booking platform.

New ZealandThe interior has a bit of a dated feel to it - carpets, wallpapers, design choices etc feel 20-30 years old. It didn't bother me at all - the place felt timeless and classic.
The hospitality at Musashi was amazing. We were greeted in a lounge room and offered local plum juice, while staff checked us in and talked through the amenities, how to find our room etc. There are great amenities available including free ice-cream snacks, gorgeous dressing gowns for use in the rooms, walking around the hotel etc. We weren't brave enough to try the onsen (prudish westerners we are!) but we saw lots of people coming and going and looking very relaxed.

CanadaThe check in was busy, the process was unusual. Parking was not on site.
The room was clean and spacious. The amenities were great! My children enjoyed playing table tennis at the hotel and having some free ice cream after :D There are several very clean onsen options indoor, open air, large onsen and low temperature. They are open through the night - I went at midnight and it was empty, I had the onsen to myself :) Hotel is close to several restaurants and very close to beach.

United StatesThe room was a bit dusty. They could clean it a bit better. The dinner buffet was quite expensive, so we didn’t partake.
We liked the room which is ryokan style with tatami and sitting table. The onsen was our favorite part, very family friendly, and the breakfast buffet was incredible.

United StatesThe view in the annex is basically non existent and there is a flight my of stairs you’ll have to carry all your luggage up to get to your room.
The location is good, not directly on the beach but close enough to walk there. A family mart is also near by to grab snacks and essentials.

It's great location,, right next to shirahama beach and bus service. There' are no so many taxi, so next to bus stop is great 👍. There are also free shuttle buses, but in certain time only. Onsen is super cool, outdoor Onsen is a one natural .we didn't eat at hotel, but it easy to find nice food just along the street. We wish we could stay longer... The town is very quiet, many locals come during the weekends

Germany- definitely a bit older, the carpets in the public areas need to be washed - no microwave for the guests in the whole hotel - WiFi is a bit rare in public areas and rooms
Very close to the beach and some convenience stores, very big Japanese style rooms! Very child friendly hotel. Spa area was pretty big as well :) Hot showers outside the hotel after the beaches are possible :)
