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 room needed some shelves for clothes and the breakfast, while nice, was a bit sandy by the third morning.
Loved the room’s small sitting area and the public bath was a wonderful bonus.

The lift system is odd - one has to flash room card on the panel outside the lift and then press the lift button to call the lift. But one can go to every floor instead.
Hotel is on the other side of the railway station. To get to the Peace Park etc, one will have to go through the busy station. However Construction going on the street car side of the station making it very chaotic, so it is better to stay on this side where the hotel is located. My room has view of the shinkansen track but don't get the noise. Hotel has a spacious lobby lounge area to hang out. All the dining outlets at the railway station is just 5 minutes walk away, so very convenient but they are extremely busy especially when baseball games are on at the nearby stadium

Breakfast could have been better. It was provided by the coffee house next to the hotel and we had a few options of a set meal. A Japanese option would have been nice.
The public bath was really nice, great way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Good size rooms with good amenties, the location was excellent too being near the train station.

The only minor downfall were the pillows on the bed. Where we’re from, we don’t have pillows that are as hard as this. It’s a very small thing but for a nights sleep, it’s important.
A lovely place couldn’t ask for anymore in a lovely city.

Location is a bit far from the centre of town (about 45 mins walk) but Hiroshima has a fairly good pic transport system from the main station.
Spotless hotel, great facilities (washing machines, very handy for a long trip) and excellent staff. Great location, literally a couple of minutes walk from Hiroshima train station. Plenty of space in the room. Would definitely recommend.

Everything. Fantastic position near the station but no noise at all. Lovely bathroom with bathtub/shower separate room, fantastic public bath, synchronised with the app on tv to know how crowded. Cute pyjamas for each guest to go to the public bath if wanted. Extended time of opening of the public bath (6am to 1 am I think)

We stayed with a child, who was officially part of the reservation, but I assume not charged for, but he did not get the included breakfast. We had to pay extra for his breakfast, even though ours were included, and the breakfast was also the reason why we chose the hotel. This was odd.
I chose the hotel due to the location next to the train station, it was a 3 minute walk and made things very convenient. It was elegant and pleasant. The room was nice and spacious for Japanese standards, we enjoyed the table area. The breakfast at the downstairs cafe was really nice and nourishing.

Perfect location as we wanted to stay close to the train station due to early morning travel times. Very easy to access other forms of public transport from this hotel along with a variety of restaurants for dinner. We didn't have time to use all of the facilities but the room was pleasant. The breakfast is a little different to other locations in Japan but was still good.

convenient location right by the station. While major attractions aren't within walking distance, the area is well-connected by public transport and taxis, making them easily accessible. Plus, the proximity to the station is fantastic for exploring The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel breakfast is a delightful perk, and the rooms offer both a shower and a bathtub – perfect for enjoying a relaxing soak in a traditional Japanese bath.

Not much, except the bed pillows were not very comfortable.
The location was excellent, as it was directly adjacent to the train station and next to a very cute restaurant and izikaya district. The hotel had amazing open air (hot) baths on the top floor, which made coming back after a long day of exploring Hiroshima incredibly relaxing. The rooms were large and the bathroom was very clean and nicely laid out. The price was exceptional given the amenities and the location.
