Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomI didn't like the room having a raised bed with seating underneath as it felt a bit claustrophobic. Would have preferred a normal bed.
The food in the restaurant and a hot spring a few minutes walk away. Lovely reception area.

The staffs are very helpful & nice to their guests. They help us carry our luggages up to our rooms & also after checkout. Thanks to one who even go all way out to help me solve my lock problem. We like the breakfast which are really good. The products provided in our rooms are of quality kind.

United KingdomSome minor teething issues only. A little bit more dusting might be needed. The locker room and stairwell up to the dorms is in full view of the restaurant which is a bit odd. The shower rooms should have hooks and some benches in the locker room for changing would be useful.
I was extremely impressed by this hostel, and it is definitely one of the best I have ever stayed in. The little snug "bunks" are more like mini rooms with their own window, AC unit and the bed/pillow was very comfortable. The breakfast was effective and simple.

AustraliaIt's literally impossible to pick anything wrong with this place- the only thing is the staff told us to leave out our dirty towels, and a new one would be swapped out for us, but each day we left the towels out and no new one was provided, so we had to ask staff. That was a tiny bit inconvenient, but getting a fresh clean towel + a long towel for use at the local onsens at no extra cost was such a nice touch!
RoHen Hakone is absolutely beautiful! It feels like a luxury hotel, with stylish modern-traditional fusion decor and a very clean cozy vibe. The breakfast buffet in the morning was so delicious and at no extra cost! The staff were so helpful and friendly, thank you for all your hard work :-) It's close to a bus stop, with good sound-proofing, clean showers and bathrooms, comfortable common room areas and beds, helpful staff and great food! Was defintiely my favourite place I stayed in Japan! The area around is so beautiful as well with a river, onsens and maple trees! Just lovely, highly reccommend.

We were a couple in a private room. The hotel was beautiful, the design is really stunning. Everything felt really fresh and clean. Sheets and pyjamas smelt amazing! Location was good - at the very top of the street from the station but still only a 5-10 minute walk. Staff were really sweet. Such good value.

CanadaLighting in the room we stayed in was poor. Needed to use flashlights to see our things.
One of the best places we have stayed in Japan. Great breakfast that was heathly with good portions of food. The hotel itself feels very zen with lots of plants, a tree in the main space, and candles burning throught the area. Quieter places to sit upstairs and outside. Staff were very friendly and shared washroom facilities were extremely clean.

The facilities were modern and clean, and the included breakfast was a great way to start each day. Also very conveniently located - less than a 10 minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto station.

AustraliaThe room was slightly difficult to navigate with low ceiling and stairs - particularly for a tall person.
The staff were great and facility was very homely and relaxing. I could feel the Japanese elements whilst having a very modern built and touch to the place, which made it quite unique and comfortable to stay at. It’s location is great as well - a 10min walk from the station but you get to see nice shops and cross a beautiful bridge on the way. It’s tucked away from the main street, so you get the quietness as well.
