Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United StatesThe room was spacious and had a table with taller chairs we could sit at. We enjoyed the onsen. We had the special dinner and it was several rounds of items and almost more than we could finish. They gave us shoes and kubatas that were sized to us and not one size.

United StatesIf you are allergic to shellfish, its best to specify that you are allergic to shellfish and crab and shrimp and clams and other mollusks. I think there was a translation issue there but they were very accommodating and understanding when I explained my situation.
Just a 10-minute walk from downtown. Very comfortable, we loved staying in the Japanese-style rooms. It felt like we had our own little apartment. Get the Japanese style dinner, it was unforgettable!

NetherlandsWe expected to sleep in a real ryokan, not in a themed ryokan hotel. This was misleading. They made it in a nice way, but for this amount of money we expected a more real experience. It would be fair to mention this in the type of room you book ('themed' instead of a real ryokan).
When we arrived we got a warm welcome. Really nice experience to step into an old ryokan. Unfortunately this was only the entrance, the rest of the building is a big themed hotel block. The breakfast was special and lovely. We stayed to night's and we chose to get both nights a Japanese breakfast (both were different). The onsen is small but nice after a day walking.

United KingdomLots of rules - charged if you wanted to use additional futons etc. I haven’t seen that at any other ryokan.
Stunning property - beautiful traditional rooms and a clean and lovely onsen. Friendly staff and comfortable extras like Yukatas and onsen baskets.

AustraliaThe Ryokan was everything we wanted from a traditional Japanese hotel/guest house. Very comfortable and the staff we very helpful. Most things we wanted were within walking distance, including the station, bus station and the old town. Plenty of great restaurants nearby.
