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.).

New ZealandHotel is located in an industrial area. Very compact small hotel. We stayed only one night, so this was manageable.
Hale Tambaguchi is very close to Tambaguchi station. We could store our luggage at the hotel before check in time. Very friendly staff. Most amenities are found at the reception area.

United StatesThis is not a judgement of the hotel or even the country, but I am a relatively tall individual and while the ceilings were a great height, the room itself is just a touch small for me to comfortably move around in (esp the shower/bathroom).
Super central location, felt safe and out of the way, but was literally around the corner from anything we could need. I loved the new door locks that require a QR code to open; super easy to use and completely eliminated the typical fumble for the room key thing you always do when returning to the room. This place was modern, clean, comfortable, and well-staffed. Our flight ended up arriving us into Kyoto very late (think after midnight), but I was able to stay in communication with them the whole time we were traveling and they made sure someone was there to greet us when we finally arrived. She didn't speak much English but she was so sweet and kind and made us feel welcome after a very long journey.

United StatesBathroom was very small, especially the showers.
The rooms were compact but really nice quality with comfortable beds and everything we needed for our stay. The hotel was quiet/serene and everyone rested well after long days of traveling. Very close to the train station and cozy bars/restaurants around the corner. Staff were not at the front desk 24/7 but they were responsive and helpful when we needed to contact them.

TaiwanFirst, the information security was bad that I got some spam messages before the travel. Furthermore, at the second night, the QR code lock somehow changed so that we could not get into the room, and there were no people at the counter. The problem was solved rapidly that they responded to my e-mail and provided a new QR code that could work.
The room is perfect, and the location is near to a train station and approachable from many sightseeing points.
