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 StatesProperty is surrounded by forest and next to a beautiful water fall and water hole. Very relaxing. The onsen pools and showers were clean and you could sit and listen to and admire the water fall from the damn while bathing. The host was very nice and accommodating. The meals were beautifully served and delicious. The furniture and decoration were beautiful. We are so glad we stumbled upon Takimi Onsen inn. We also loved the fact that we had our own private onsen and did not have to share with other guests. What an amazing onsen and culinary experience.

EstoniaThe drive up to the location was gorgeous, the host picked me up from Tsumago and after my stay dropped me off to the Nagiso train station. While the host speaks limited english, he is a wonderful conversationalist and a joy to talk to. The accommodation itself is very spacious, the interior design beautiful, and the onsen baths were at really comfortable temperature for me. While I was unable to eat all of the food they served (I have a small stomach, not their fault), I really wish i could have, because I think it was one of the best meals I've ever had. I will definitely come back some day.

United KingdomA wonderful stay at Takimi Onsen Inn. We had the whole place to ourselves with an inside and outside Onsen, and an amazing view of a waterfall. It was very traditional and we wore kimonos during our time there. The staff were very friendly and cooked in front of us Japanese food. They picked us up form the station and returned us FOC. We went hiking in Nagiso and they took us to the start of the trail. A complete chill out place and a great adventure.

Amazing place to stay! They only book one group at a time so you have a private residence all to yourself! The inn is nestled in a forest next to a river and waterfall so very picturesque. The best feature though is the Kaiseki meals they prepare just for your group. The chef is trained in french cuisine but made a wonderful japanese dinner for us. I would highly recommend this ryokan if you want an authentic experience in a beautiful setting. The private onsen was also a great feature. They'll also pick you up and take you to your departure point e.g. train station.

It was a beautiful, exclusive ryokan with exceptional views and outstanding food. Our hospitable and friendly host Koike did everything to provide a memorable stay. He helped us with transport to walk the trail and made sure we were safe driving in the winter time. The outside onsen with waterfall is an amazing experience.

ThailandThe entrance was dark. It would be great if you came in early, before sundown.
Even though the location is distant, it provides peacefulness. Breakfast and dinner were both thoughtfully prepared. Additionally, it is delectable. The quantity is enormous; it is nearly impossible to consume it in its entirety. The thermal spring is outstanding. It is very relaxing to soak. The owner is exceedingly hospitable. I was generally quite impressed.

SingaporeNothing! It’s perfect!
An absolute dream. We hiked from Magome to Tsumago where we were picked up by the inn owner, who drove us to the inn. We had the entire inn to ourselves so it was the perfect honeymoon stay. The dinner spread was simply outstanding and had all sorts of fresh produce from the area cooked marvellously. There are both indoor and outdoor onsen baths, with the latter facing a gorgeous mini waterfall. Staying here was one of the highlights of the trip. Can’t recommend it enough!

Northern Mariana IslandsWonderful hosts and attentive to your needs. The home and its surroundings are absolutely stunning. We were the only guests for one night as we were hiking up to Narai the following day. The dinner meal course was an unforgettable culinary delight. Our brief stay was one of the best cultural experiences we had in Japan and I can only imagine Takimi Onsen during peak fall season in its magnificent glory.

United KingdomWhat a fabulous experience. We arrived at this wonderful house in the middle of the woods to be greeted with warmth and kindness. After having enjoyed the wonderful Onsen, which was private as there were only two of us staying, we were then led through a lantern lit hall to a traditional dining room with an open fire on the floor where a delicious meal was prepared for us. A totally memorable experience. The following morning we were driven to the start of the Naskendo trail and had the best day before another wonderful meal in the evening.
