Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The food was delicious. As a vegetarian, it was difficult to find appropriate food in the country but at this guesthouse, you will eat well and feel nourished. I would stay again just for the food. :D

It's not a palace but it's pretty decent.
A room in a traditional house. We had the downstairs room, which wasn’t as noisy as we thought it would be, what with it being next to the bathroom and toilet. Other guests were quiet and respectful. In a good location in Honmura, an interesting village with mini art galleries, which I recommend visiting with the combined ticket. The breakfast of brown rice balls and miso soup was very tasty and nutritious and part of island culture.

Basic guesthouse with very friendly staff. Facilities are shared and clean. Lunch in vegan restaurant (opposite the guesthouse) of the same owners is very nice. They will also provide the breakfast plate which can be found in the communal kitchen of the guesthouse. Storage of luggage is no problem (before check-in and/or after check-out).

Breakfast was disappointed. 2 Onigiri(rice ball), Miso soup, and Tsukemono(pickle). Bathroom was too cold when taking shower.
It is located in the middle of Honmura. Especially it is right nextdoor of 'Art House project : Ginza' You can have great experience in traditional Japanese style house.

As the house is traditional paper walls, it was a small bit noisy so recommend earplugs!
The owner was so lovely and welcoming. Room was basic but clean, in a traditional Japanese guest house with futons etc. Close to the art houses and a bike rental, as well as excellent vegan food in the adjacent restaurant.

Our room was pretty spacious and full of natural light. It was facing a calm street in a walking distance from the ferry. There is a kitchen and a shared dining area. I recommend trying food from a restaurant across the street owned by the same owners. Delicious food!
