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.).

SingaporeNIL. Everything is perfect.
The meals were exceptional in this Ryokan. However what made my day was the attention to details of the staff in the hotel. The staff noticed that my sister's birthday was approaching and prepared a little gift for my sister - during meal service and check-out. The level of service went beyond the bar of any other hotel I have stayed, thank you for making our stay exceptional! I would love to return in future and visit this hotel again. Well done hotel staff!

FinlandThe place is absolutely stunning! The said the place goes way back as 1662 but it still has this beautiful traditional look to it while kind of looking modern even. The staff in the facility were also extremely friendly and helpful, and what's more they knew english very well! For our stay we had a japanese suite and in my opinion even though it cost a little bit more, the onsen bath outside and the meals which were included to the price made it definitely worth it! And the room was also very beautiful traditional japanese style. And you have a free open service bar in the facility whenever you want to drink coffee, tea, beer etc. We booked this place for 2 nights so that we could relax a little at the end of our trip, and it was so worth it! I can not recommend this place enough if you want to experience a traditional ryokan with amazing food and onsen!

Beautiful, old-school style Japanese onsen. We opted for a room with a private onsen and we were staggered at how large the room was (on two levels). The private onsen bath with the garden was simply stunning. The food at dinner was also perfect, as was the breakfast the next day. Loved the Yukata service too. The staff were very attentive. The free drinks area also great. Highly recommend.

United StatesTraveling here by bus was a nightmare. It was really packed so our group had to stand the entire time and it takes over an hour from the main station in Hakone. You won't have to worry about missing this place since the bus will call out which onsen resort is at each stop. It's a little isolated so make sure you bring some snacks since there is nothing nearby and they don't provide many snacks. I saw many locals come prepared and carrying a bag of snacks. I wish they had milk as an option for drinks!
I loved how well-kept the building was considering how old and historical it was. I loved the staff because they make you feel very welcome and it's very hospitable. They do speak English and do a great job communicating with our group on how to use the onsen and going through our dinner and breakfast meal. When you approach the location, there are people outside the building who assist to help you find your way. We had a private onsen and it was fantastic for those who may have tattoos or are a little nervous about getting naked in front of strangers! I bravely tried the large public onsen that was available which was great because you can really spread out and the changing area is so nice. They provide so many nice toiletries for you to wash up before getting in. The private onsen is scorching hot in compared to the public so make sure you take your time and add plenty of the cold water. I love how your muscles and skin feel afterward. The scenery around the area was beautiful and peaceful. You get to relax and detach by having a drink and looking out into the garden area. Our group's favorite thing in our room was the kotatsu. We went during April and boy was it cold up in the mountains. Hanging around the kotatsu was so cozy and we would lay down and play games. There are unlimited drinks there such as alcohol, juice, tea, etc. I loved the small game room they had that allowed guest to try traditional Japanese games. The meals are fresh and delicious! You also get to choose a yukata to roam around the area, which is super cute and fun to take pictures in. I can't believe this is considered 3 stars! They deserve so much more!

United StatesNot on main transportation line, requires some planning and connections. Taxi from JR train station was 10000 yen.
Traditional food was exceptional. Accommodated some western elements in certain rooms and dining tables. In-processing was delightful. Public areas were beautiful and interesting. Room with private hot springs bath for those uncomfortable with public nudity. Bus stop for nearby attractions.

United StatesIf you are taking the bus to get here, hire a luggage courier service! It was a bit of a trek to get to, but so worth it once we did.
This is a beautiful, traditional hotel. The property is nicely maintained and very clean. They have complimentary drinks during the day and evening. We had the dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both of which were delicious. I appreciated they explained each dish and provided a printed brochure to learn more about traditional Japanese cuisine. We chose a room with more Western style beds and they were very comfortable. We had an onsen in our room, so we didn't check out the public and private onsen for reservation in the hotel. The onsen in our room was great and had a window you could slide open to watch the hills and birds outside. Great customer service and friendly staff.

AustraliaThe room we booked we believed we were being served dinner and breakfast in our room, however the meals were actually served in the public area, which was fine, but not what we expected from booking the photos. It is a lot to spend per night, however it was worth experiencing. It is hard to get to via transport, so I recommend to hire a car for the day. We did it and we are very thankful we thought ahead.
The dinner was the highlight for me. It was everything I could have imagined. The onsen was also nice. Opened at 6am so I could enjoy 1 onsen at night and 1 in the morning before we finished our 1 night stay. The room was spacious ofcourse.

United StatesThe most hospitable staff of any hotel I've ever been to. The room was surprisingly large and beautiful. We stayed in a room with the open aire bath. Everything about the stay was really peaceful. I wish we had another day. Dinner and breakfast exceeded my expectations. My partner told the staff about his selfish allergy, and they made adjustments to the menu for him.
