Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaUnfortunately the restaurant section was closed during our stay so we missed out on the delicious food other reviewers have mentioned, but Henmi Ryokan is so close to the Fish market that there are plenty of food options around to make up for it.
Henmi Ryokan is a wonderful little place to relax while visiting Hakodate. Its a short walk away from the JR Hakodate Terminal and the fish market. Futons and the room were comfortable and clean and the proprietor is a wonderful lady. I do wish our Japanese was better so we could have conversed with her more.

JapanThe owner was so friendly and accommodating of our requests. Even though our Japanese was not great, she was very patient with explaining and re-explaining the instructions. Check-in and check out were simple. The room was very clean and comes with bath robes to wear indoors. The location is convenient (close to tram station) for exploring the old town part of Hakodate.

United States of AmericaThere was not anything we disliked. One thing to note: there was not an elevator so if you're carrying heavy luggage, consider asking if it's possible to stay on the first floor if you may be concerned with carrying your luggage up a flight of stairs.
The innkeeper is lovely and attentive. I was traveling with my elderly, Japanese mother and wanted to stay in a Japanese style accommodation that is locally run. I suspect there are fewer and fewer of these as time passes, so if you're wanting to experience one, enjoy it sooner than later. My mother really enjoyed chatting with the innkeeper as she does not get a chance to speak in her native tongue much living in the U.S. The breakfasts involved local seafood and was served at a communal table. It felt homey. The location is very good to the train station and seafood markets.

AustriaYou can feel that the place is bit older, but in the end it is part of its charm.
Extremely friendly owner, she patiently waited for us as the train got delayed. We had a very big room with traditional tatami mats and a small sitting area to enjoy our tea. Definitely recommend to book the breakfast! It was one of the best we got in Japan.

GermanyThere was no air conditioning in the room, just a fan. Despite the room being rather comfortable the summer heat compared with a mosquito meant that I barely slept. This is not that big of an issue though.
The lady at the front was really nice! She showed me around the room, gave me some tips on what to do and was just really nice to talk to! Everything was smooth from check in to check out

AustraliaIt would be more convenient if the bathroom sink area was separated from the hallway.
I found this accommodation to be a great value-for-money option. It's conveniently located next to both the market and the city station. The owner of the property was exceptionally friendly, and the room was exactly as I anticipated it would be.

Germanyall fine. Note: The name of the ryokan is only displayed in Japanese - so it’s easy to overlook it at the first time as the backstreet looks a bit empty. and not too fancy (it’s close to the APA hotel tower).
Nice traditional ryokan with Japanese style room and tasty Japanese style breakfast. Location is convenient - only a short walk from JR main train station (not the Shinkansen station!). The morning market is just three minutes away. To the brick warehouses it is an easy 10 to 15 minute walk. Staff was very friendly. very good value for money!
