Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Boring breakfasts. Tiny bathroom. Strange organization of providing new towels (if you don't inform staff, new towels will appear hanging on your doors). Thre are no cabinets, only cloth hangers.
The hotel is located perfectly, very close to the station. It is very clean and quiet. The breakfasts are typical Japanese thus might not be convenient for all guests. Staff is very kind and helpful, but desn't speak english. The hot drinks (coffee, tea) are served 15:00 pm-10:00 am for free. The room was small but enough. Comfortable and big bed. Shop just behind the corner.

The room is really small for a couple and there is no luggage stand. We had two large size (not oversize) bags and were consistently getting in each others' way inside the room.
You can get breakfast on the day itself, from the reception desk. It cost Y700 per person during our stay. We had breakfast on a day where curry was available, so it was especially worth the cost. Also a real convenience with sufficient seating in the breakfast area and a reasonable spread of mostly Japanese-style breakfast items.

It is quite a new hotel, location is near the train station and the supermarket. Room is larger than usual standard room in Japan. Staff is very helpful and tried very hard to assist as there is a communication barrier. Great breakfast varieties.

Overuse of single use plastic. It is totally unnecessary to cover new linen with plastic and to cover every dish with glad wrap. Trend cannot advertise itself as eco-friendly while it sustains this practice. They could also use washable hashi or at least not wrap them in paper.

The breakfast included a wide variety of tasty food. It would be very good if the plastic covering on each of the dishes was eliminated. It didn’t seem to be necessary and environmentally it’s a massive long term problem.

The hotel is near Okayama station. Breakfast was Japanese style and good. Room was spacious. I double checked my room looking for towels and didn't see them. The staff was nice enough and provided me extra towels when I asked, they didn't ask why. Turns out I didn't look properly and the towels were on a shelf above the toilet seat. They can keep your luggage for no extra fees after you checked out.
