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.).

MalaysiaThe room was comfy, spacious and clean, with rough textured flooring (disposable slippers provided). Could faintly hear the sound of Enoden passing through (and street warning sirens) on and off, really vaguely and wasn't loud, enjoyed that sound tbh (Japan vibes). Walking distance from Kamakura station, Komachi-dori st and Tsurugaoka shrine. Staff members were very friendly and even recommended places to go when I was out of options, as many attractions were closed at night.

JapanNothing! Maybe I just felt a little hot because I was in the room without windows 😆 Also I wasn't "directly" near my friend but that's okay
I stayed almost a month in Kamakura last year, I mainly stayed in Plat hostel keikyu kamakura wave. I already gave it 10/10 last time and I am still giving it 10/10 again! I wanted to give my friend the same experience I had when I arrived in Japan last year, he said Kamakura is the best of all the places he visited ☺️

JapanOne of the shower cabin was a bit dirty, but it makes sense since someone probably showered just before. The other was clean so I used it and everything was perfectly fine hahah. Overall everything is super clean 👍
The room was super clean, everything we could need was provided : sheets (of course), towels, soap, even a toothbrush ?? The bed is comfy enough, there's a lamp, electric plugs, and most of all : a curtain in the bed to protect intimacy within the dormitory room. Also, the room and bath areas weren't cold at all. Checkin and checkout were nice and easy. :)

United StatesGreat location, a stone's throw to the beach and to Kamakura Station. Walking distance to so many sites of interest and shops. Check-in/out was easy-peasy. I didn't use any services/amenities, but they have a variety, which is nice. Didn't dig the pebble-textured floor of the room, but it's an understandable choice considering guests might track sand in there. (Thank goodness for the provided room slippers!) All in all, I'd stay here again!

Spacious, clean, close to everything. Had everyting you could need. Close to main part of town. Grocery storesnearby if you were tired of eating out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hostel beds came with towels, toothbrushes, mini locker, mini flashlight incase you need it. Also quiet. For me, one of the best hostels ever.

JapanThis stay was one of the most TERRIBLE experience I have ever had staying in a hostel. Please watch out for the word ‘dormitory’. It literally means mixed dormitory room. I was the only female assigned into a mixed dormitory room staying with 7 men (total 8ppl). Everyone in the room seemed surprised and awkward to see me too. The snore was loud and smelly. I went to talk with the staff but they just simply replied that the room was a mixed dormitory. They just randomly assigned the bed without considering balancing the number of males and females in each room.
The location is pretty close to Kamakura station and not so far from the beach.
