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...).

AustraliaThere was no tea/coffee/etc. (as stated), so I had to go to the nearest convenience store (konbini) or supermarket to get some. Within a 10-minute walk, so a minor inconvenience only.
It was a little bit more spacious than I expected! Hahaha, I was probably too used to the very small rooms in the cities. They were clean, beds were comfortable, water heated up well, and had little to no noise at night. The kitchen had a stove, fridge, and plenty of utensils, which was great. The laundry room was right next door, and the location was excellent - within 10-15 mins walk to major train station and local attractions. I requested a ground floor (i.e. first floor) room since my parents have leg and back issues and they cheerfully accommodated us, which was greatly appreciated! Also, they left some origami paper with instructions, which was lots of fun - my mother enjoyed making paper cranes!

ThailandThere is no heater in the living area, making it too cold in winter. However, opening the bedroom door helps share the heat between rooms.
The location is easy to find and within walking distance of the old town, train station, and bus station. The hotel also provides private parking spaces.

Location is good, short walking distance from restaurants, convenient stores, bus station, train station, taxi. Old town walking street is not far from the hotel. Family room is quite spacious for 3 persons, fully equipped with kitchenware. Most of all it is very clean. They could help arrange a private tour to Shirakawa-go.

Able to accommodate 4 ppl and walking distance to the station. Area was calming and all bus facilities to major sites such as Shirakawa go and Shinhotaka Ropeway. Staff replied fast and were very friendly. Cleaning staff comes every three days which meant the room was kept constantly clean.
