Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesThe lobby and breakfast area were a bit grim and industrial, but not a big deal overall because I did not spend much time there anyway.
The location was great and the staff were efficient and very accommodating. I especially liked the storage lockers available for use pre- and post-chec in

BelgiumDinner options nearby were rather limited, and since it poured all day, we returned from exploring Nikko completely soaked and didn’t feel like venturing out again to search for restaurants.
We only spent one night here as a quick stop between Tokyo and Kanazawa. The hotel was clean, good value for money, and conveniently located with a supermarket just a minute’s walk away. The room was decent sized, but since we only needed a place to sleep, it suited us perfectly. I did wish we could have stayed longer. With just one afternoon to explore and most temples closing by 5 p.m., we focused on the World Heritage temples and shrines, skipping Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. Nikko felt truly magical, and the rain only enhanced the atmosphere.

BelgiumBreakfast was small but it was also for free and included. It filled me up for the first few hours and that’s all that matters.
I had an amazing stay here. It’s a minute walk removed from the station and the facilities were all modern and clean. There was tons of information about how and where to go. It was quiet at night, I didn’t experience any noise or so. And I had everything I needed from a hotel in Japan. The comfort of the place was excellent. You can’t find something like this in the West for this price… so the complainers need to start nitpicking less.

United StatesThe one chair in the room could have used a pad. 10am checkout seemed a little early. The bathroom had a little stale odor. But nothing that really detracted from what was a good value.
The hotel is very close to the train station and the pick-up for city/tourist buses. There is a grocery basically across the street. The room was simple but very clean and fairly big for Japan. The breakfast was very simple, but is was a nice unexpected add-on. The staff didn't speak much English, but they were friendly and helpful. It was a great value for the price.

Nearby the station, new structure nice inside and very tidy. A wonderful surprise the good breakfast offered in the morning till 8.45. Excellent also the welcome and the help in booking a wonderful dinner really near the hotel, a real japanese authentic experience: without their reservation it would not have been possibile! And very helpfull today in assisting us after we have left the hotel: they found in our room an important object my son has left there. Really appreciating they let us know immediatly!

United StatesThe hotel offers only the bare minimum and feels slightly worn out, with little to no effort put into decoration or design. Noise isolation is almost non-existent. The photos make it appear nicer than it actually.
Convenient location close to the train and bus stations. Rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and very helpful. The free breakfast is decent.

SlovakiaJust one tiny annoyance: the HDMI port on the TV was quite hard to access when we wnted to play movies from the laptop. But after some struggle I eventually managed to plug the cable in,
Relatively spacious rooms, kind staff, and good location (train/bus stations + supermarket nearby). We even got a can of free beer as part of some taste tuning campaign, which was nice :D
