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.).

New ZealandVery thin futon bed. Only one shower and two toilets in the same area of two urinals - which were quite smelly. Paper thin walls and could hear everything - suggest taking ear plugs. Curfew of 11pm did not bother us, however could be something to think about and could be noted on the front page when booking. There was also a 200 yen tax per person per night which is an additional cost, which is absolutely fine just suggest it being written on the booking page. Felt slightly uncomfortable being watched every time we entered and left/putting our shoes on and off.
Close to Kyoto station, nice courtyard. Old fashioned style was nice and enjoyed the Kimonos to wear in the evening.

Traditional ryokan, trapped in a time capsule!! Perfectly clean but the place is old and basic. Paper thin walls, must follow rules and curfew. Interesting experience for 1 night!

GermanyIt’s very cold at night and noisy, you can hear everything also from the other rooms. there is a lot if rules regarding when to use the shower and the bathtub, curfew is at 11 and everything in general is very tiny so if you are taller than 1,80 m this place might not be for you
staff is friendly and the location is very convenient.

JapanThere was a weird small of detergent or cleaning agent, very strong smell in the toilet. Having allergy and asthma it was a very bad experience staying there. Room was dusty, tho the bedding stuff was clean, but had the smell too. You can hear EVERY step and every word of neighbors, couldn’t sleep till 2am
Beautiful, traditional house, pretty garden, convenient location. There was a tea pot in the room and AI, so the temperature was comfortable

United StatesIn the front of the property there was a smell of smoking, so I had to quickly move to the back where it was fine. I stayed with two more people in the room, so it was challenging to adjust the room temperature to everyone’s liking. But there were extra blankets.
The owner was exceptional! He was able to accommodate us when two more people joined the group. He helped us communicate with a taxi company when one of our students forgot her phone in a taxi. The property is close enough to the Kyoto station, we were able to walk there. There is a breakfast place nearby, that opens early, unlike other places. Downstairs shower was nice, and the hot tub after it was very relaxing. The yukatas were provided, they added to relaxed feeling.

JapanThat was really super annoying that the property has a curfew and staff is not understanding that for the tourists coming back to the hotel at 23 pm is quite a stretch, this information was written to me only after i paid for the room. This detail is so annoying that probably really covers all the advantages of this place as it really cut your freedom.
Very traditional and authentic place, with lovely miniature garden and very traditional way of living, very good for those who want to experience the essence of Japanese old-style householding. The room is quite spacious and it is really nice to have a tea set and water heater, a very calm place in a good location.
