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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Room was spacious, very clean, very accessible from Gora Station. Such a lovely journey to get to Gora Station up the mountain on the train line. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Onsen was great, especially being tattoo friendly was a bonus!

NetherlandsLovely modern hotel with traditional touches. Huge room and great restaurant. The free onzen was also a nice addition. The hotel is literally next to the station so it’s a perfect location to start the Hakone round-trip (although that can also easily be done directly from Tokyo, but this is a less hasty way to do it). We truly loved our stay here.

United KingdomThe restaurant and bar were quite limited and were not to our taste.
This hotel was in a fantastic location for everything we wanted to see and do. Rooms were well equipped and very spacious. It had a good laundry which was very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and very helpful. It had a great Onsen. We would recommend the breakfast and would happily stay again!

GermanyNothing to complain about except maybe that the restaurant was closed on the night of our stay so we couldn’t try it out.
One of the absolute highlights of our Japan trip. Super friendly and happy staff that makes staying there a pleasure. Nice rooms, good onsen, and a wonderful nature and (despite all tourists) quiet area with good night sleep. What else can you wish for?

United KingdomThis was the best hotel we stayed in during our month in Japan. The location, right next to Gora station, is perfect. The staff, who all spoke some English, we're delightful. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The onsen was a real treat. And the set dinner was probably the best meal we had anywhere in Japan. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

SingaporeWe drove so it’s great for the museums but a bit further from the tourist areas. It was close to the road so you can’t sleep with your windows open. They provide earplugs for a reason!
Great location to explore Gora. Comfortable and clean and great service. They helped me book Enoura Observatory as require Japanese speaking to book a walk in ticket. Nice breakfast spread with simple menu but well executed and good variety. The salad with carrot dressing was yummy. Nice touches like filtered water machines outside and coin laundry. Small onsen but adequate.

CanadaVariation in breakfast items would be nice.
The front desk staff were warm and friendly. The room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable. We loved the Onsen. The breakfast served was very good with many options in the buffet but the items were identical each day. The location was a one minute walk from the Gora station which was amazing when you are travelling with an infant and luggage. The hotel warned us that there were very few restaurants in the neighbourhood and they were right! We had planned to eat dinner in the hotel on our second night but it was a Monday and it closed Monday and Tuesday.
