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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

RomaniaThe location of the resort is wonderful, near a river, and next to the forest. The rooms were spacious and looked exactly like an old Japanese movie. We had dinner included, which was an authentic experience, served in a private room, with delicious food. The pools were amazing, and we could always find a place in the private ones. The distribution of the rooms is done in such a way that we felt like we were the only guests, even if the hotel was fully booked. I would totally recommend it for everyone who wants to have an authentic ryokan experience.

ItalyThis place is pure magic, you will live a Spirited Away like experience. There are many crossing corridors and hidden passages over 3 floors but don't worry, they will provide you with a map. At the floor 0 you will find the public baths with all commodities and also 3 wonderful private baths (accessible 24h) with indoor and outdoor hot water pools, showers and many amenities. The hall is fantastic with a Japanese style fireplace. They will serve your dinner and breakfast in a private room, you will taste the real typical foods in a sort of ceremony that will please your mouth and eyes for its beauty. Our king room was an actual apartment paved with tatami including a toilet, bedroom, living room with a view over the garden, a studio and a little place where you can set a fire to heat your water for a wonderful green tea or coffee. The bathroom had both a shower and a big wooden tub resembling a private onsen. Even if the place was completely booked we seldomly met someone around, we really felt to be teleported in another world. The staff is super kind and they will help you in anything you need. Strongly recommended.

United KingdomThere is no shower in the room but you can use the shower in the public and private onsen which are great, but you may not be used to it. The restaurant, although of high quality gourmet japanese food, struggled to adapt their fixed menu to vegetarian. They did try to but it seemed that they found it easier if we just left the food we didn’t want to eat.
It’s a beautiful traditional building with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The vibe it’s what you pay for. There are private indoor and open-air onsen that need no extra money or reservation. Loved it!

United StatesThis property was exceptional in every way. Tucked away in the mountains, with incredible views at every turn. The building is an old Edo style home, and once you check in you will feel like you’ve stepped back in time (but with modern amenities). The hot springs and food were also amazing.

FinlandThat we had to leave so soon!
Everything! The big, Japanese style room had a gorgeous view. The whole place was very atmospheric with lots of small nieches to relax. They have both public and private baths, and the ones we tried were lovely. The private baths cannot be reserved, but we always found at least one available. The staff was super friendly and helpful despite a slight language barrier (my Japanese is rather weak). Dinner and breakfast were plentiful, interesting and delicious. Easy to reach by bus from Takayama.

United KingdomPillows we're made of beads (I think) which weren't exactly the most comfortable so upgrading those would be a big plus.
Place was amazing, food was amazing and staff was amazing! The private onsens were also fab, and we never really had to wait to use any of the ones available. We didn't use the public ones. The area was a bit far away from anything within walking distance (i.e. The closest town etc) but it is the probably the price to pay to stay in such an amazing and scenic location!

United StatesBathroom area in the room could be retouched, particularly the walls. Some of the furnishings are a bit out of date and random.
Convenient bus access from Hirayu Onsen station. Cozy, rustic vibe with fire pit and bear skin rugs in the lobby. Very large property with multiple bathing facilities - private tubs both inside and outside, public bathing areas both inside and outside. Comfortable beds. Amazing dinner in private room and one of the best Japanese breakfasts I've ever had!

NetherlandsAn English sign at the entrance might have been useful as it is a very cute pathway and you don't immediately realize as a foreigner that that's the entrance to the hotel.
Fantastic stay a traditional location. Best food we had on the whole trip, very fresh and local! Amazing service and hospitality. The staff was extremely kind and helpful and drove us to 3 different locations with their car so we could withdraw some cash from an ATM. We loved the onsen and natural water, there are many different baths inside and outside, public and also private. Beautifully decorated, lots of thought has been put into the hotel and we were welcomed with a crackling fire. Definitely highly recommend! Also easy to reach with an infrequent bus from Kamikochi.
