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.).

GermanyGreat location. Convenient store right by the hotel. Friendly staff at reception. Nice sized beds. Loads of toiletries available at the reception, even face masks and hair masks. Good working AC. Bit tight with two big suitcases, but that’s normals in Japan. Good value for money. Didn’t do the breakfast so can’t comment on that.

TaiwanNice location and not far from Sannomiya JR station. The front desk clerk is very friendly and with great hospitality. I had asked for the laundry service and booked the Japanese breakfast in the morning, and the clerk replied and sorted them very efficiently.

PanamaThe one thing that I would advise checking is that the one of the pillows had a strong smell of sweat, I don't think it was a pillow cover but the pillow itself.
I like the location a lot, the staff was super nice and the room was comfortable.

BelgiumDesk was small
I had a high floor room with a nice sunset view over the train station. Bed was firm, with a soft and hard pillow. The light switches had English translations. I found myself using only the USB wall plugs to charge my devices. I self-checked in so I did not get to interract with any of the staff but I noticed they appear to be 24/7 present. I was within walking distance to all I needed, sadly for me the Blue Bottle coffee in Hankyu opens up only at 10. Kobe is a lively city and I could not stop looking out my window as I admire it so much.

JapanThe remote for my tv was broken, not that I had a lot of time for it anyways though. Nothing else was off unless you consider not seeing staff a worry. I also was only here for one quick night, so I didn't have time for things to go wrong
Easy check in, check out process. I got checked in at midnight, got late food and returned at 1am to sleep. Slept great and checked out without any fuss or needing to talk to any staff the whole process.

AustraliaMy room is near the side of trains - so sometimes can hear the sound of trains. But it’s not loud at all.
Very convenient location - next to Sannomiya station. Also there is a seven eleven shop right next to it and also a reasonable size of supermarket close by. There are a few restaurants - yoshinoya etc. close by and accepting credit card as payments. The room are clean as well.

Philippinesthe room size is pretty small though, especially if you are lugging around big suitcases. That's not the hotel's fault though. Just be prepared, if you have a lot of stuff with you, the room will feel a little cramped. So if you do plan on going to japan with big suitcases maybe choose a hotel that will fit you better. but if you are a small suitcase or backpack kind of guy, Sotetsu Inn will be more than fine!
The location was excellent! Just steps away from Sannomiya station and and is very close to almost the attractions of downtown Kobe. the hotel itself was clean and quiet and had everything you could need. And even if you do decide to stay at the hotel to rest up then get hungry, just step right outside the front door and you'll find all the great food options you can ever want: a 711 right beside, gyudon bowl chains, a tempura place, a yakitori restaurant, and more! there's even 2 supermarkets within 5 mins walk!
