Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United Kingdomthe room needs a little upgrading. maybe some extra hooks on the opposite wall? there were marks/scratches on walls too. the communal access had a very unpleasant damp smell that definitely should be addressed.
We liked the location and overall it did what we were looking for. excellent traditional breakfast too.

CanadaConfirmation info needs to be updated to specify that keys must be picked up at a Ryokan two blocks away. Futon mattresses are thin, so hip joints can become sore from direct contact with tatami mat (add towels underneath to fix this).
Inexpensive Japanese Ryokan style hostel with small room, tatami mats and futons. Room had small, efficient private bathroom. Location in local neighbourhood near train station makes this a very unique immersive Japanese experience. Everything is the same from when we last stayed there in 2009.

United States of AmericaI asked to go to the restaurant literally every day I was there and literally every time was told they were full and I couldn't go. A bit ridiculous. The bathrooms are behind a sliding door with the door and walls not going to the floor or ceiling. A bit difficult for the shy. But most of all the futons are just really, really bad. That's my big toe in that picture. The 2 futon mattresses are as thick as a toe. And that's without anything laying on them. It was basically just laying on the floor. Reception is a few blocks from the actual rooms and there is no warning of that so here it is. I was there 3 days and guided no less than 3-4 different parties to reception that were lost and couldn't find it, even with the map I'm posting here.
The staff was very nice. Location was good, 5 minutes from the subway. It's a nice place... but there's definitely some caveats.
