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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

CroatiaExtremely close to the train tracks, and trains, even though not that frequent, run until around 23h, which is not good for trying to sleep. I brought earplugs with me so did not have that much trouble with that but there are also earplugs available in the free amenities section in the hotel lobby.
Just about everything is perfect, great value for the money, and very close to the train station. The staff were very polite and accommodating. Even though there were not a lot of options, the free breakfast was nice.

MexicoThe location, at night, can be somewhat dark (but you are in Japan, so there is really no danger). Also, you are next to the train tracks, the room is pretty much sound proof but you can listen some of the noise from the train.
Convenient business hotel for a one night stop. I was doing the Kumano Kodo the next day, so I only stayed for one night before the hike. They have a microwave and vending machines, that come in handy. The breakfast was simple, but good. It is about a 10-minute walk from Kii Tanabe Station.

This hotel is just nearby the train station and bus stop to Takijiri-oji for those hiking Kumano Kodo.

SingaporeIt wasn't as close to train station as I thought. Wish room can be a tad bigger with more hangers and a proper hanging area
We we allocated the new wing which opened 10 days before our stay, so everything was spanking clean and new. It also had thoughtful features like usb charging at table, next to bedside. Breakfast was also decent with fair share of protein such as eggs and milk as well as yummy breads & pastry. Each guest is allowed to take 1 onigiri.

AustraliaNothing not to like here however, as it’s right on the train line, train noise may annoy some people — we had a room on the other side of the hotel and weren’t disturbed at all.
There are no bells and whistles here but it’s a perfectly good basic hotel for a night or two in Tanabe. Room was spacious for Japanese standards with a chair and a stool for the desk so both of us could sit together. The breakfast has limited variety but good quality and is tasty. Breakfast doesn’t start until 6:30 so if you’re catching the first bus (6:16) for Kumano Kodo there’s no point getting the breakfast option.
