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...).

The hotel is an amazing place to relax and enjoy a short stay. The staff was friendly and warm. The room was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The public bath was amazing with the wonderful view of colorful trees. The breakfast was amazing. We had a memorable stay in Arima onsen. Hope we can repeat it.

United StatesWish the onsen was a little bigger, so it could accommodate more people comfortably.
Kaiseki dinner was great. Pricey, but it was an experience. Rooms were amply sized and clean and comfortable. Onsen was a little on the small size, but it was nice to soak in the two different hot springs.

SingaporeThe pace of dinner could be slightly better. Didn’t ask but would be nice if drinks from the mini bar could be brought down to dinner.
Transport was provided to and from the station and luggage was carried to the room as well. Was exceptionally pleased with the room which came with two baths and even a sauna. I could take a bath in the comfort of my own room whenever and I liked it better than the public bath. The room was also spacious and had plenty of amenities. View from the room and the complimentary mini bar was great. Staff were wonderful.

CanadaI’m really struggling to think of anything I didn’t like. Maybe the pillows could have been a bit squishier. Maybe.
If I dreamt up the perfect room, this would be it! I loved : the # of wastebaskets, the controls for the lights and curtains, the toilet, the automatic closing bathroom door, the room’s small amenities, which felt very luxurious and nice, the storage closet, sauna, and hot spring/ tub/shower room- absolutely everything. Every detail of the room has been thought out. Thoughtful design, purposeful and functional layout and mechanisms, and it all looked and felt so luxurious.

The breakfast is amazing! Definitely not to be missed. The area is very quiet and serene. I love the Onsen. I will go back there again when I get a chance to.

United StatesThis hotel is a bit off of the main road in Arima but it is worth the views from the baths that have both the gold and silver waters. The room was spacious, and the futons were very comfortable. Breakfast was traditional Japanese with local delicacies. As this property is up on a hill definitely make sure that you call when you arrive to have them pick you and the luggage up rather than hiking up the hill,

CanadaNo vending machine with milk at the onsen. This is one thing I miss where most other onsen hotel offers.
Amazing stay. It might not have some of the fancy things other onsen hotels offers. For everything they do, they did it perfectly. From the decoration to the breakfast being served. The room, the onsen, everything was done perfectly just right. The staff was also very helpful with organizing our bus back to Osaka.

AustraliaYou have to pay extra to use the onsen inside the hotel. Although it's not expensive, should it be already included if you are staying there.
Very clean, and you have to take your shoes off from the front desk.

The room was clean, very spacious. Plugs were available every corner of the room. Staff were courteous and very helpful. Although the onsen was small, it was very clean and comfortable. The outdoor onsen felt amazing. Lots of amentities available to use after the bath. Food provided was filling and delicious - a lot of variety. Staff were very helpful with driving us to where we need to go after check out. Would def recommend to make arrangements with ArimaOnsen to pick up the station, since the place is located on a hill.
