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.).

The service was excellent! From the front desk staff to the hotel staff (especially the girl who set up our dinner, she had glasses and a ponytail), everyone was so kind and helpful, you could feel all the love they put in the guests service! Also the dinner/breakfast was absolutely delicious! One of the best we had in Japan so far! And the onsen too! So happy we could experience them in the beautiful ryokan! We'll be back for sure! Thank you❤️

AustraliaJust a couple of small points. There was a strong light coming through the window which made it hard for me to sleep. I would have liked more and better towels to use in the onsen.
Lovely traditional ryokan with excellent food and very friendly, helpful staff who make you feel really welcome. Great location near centre of town but easy walk from the station. Enjoyed the onsen.

Hong KongIt would be better if there was better extraction or ventilation in the room. The lovely beef smell lingers after the dinner. The location is convenient but it provides no view.

United KingdomThe meal was beautifully presented and although we enjoyed the experience, the food wasn't to our taste. Quite expensive.
We enjoyed our experience at the Ryokan Tanabe very much.Our room felt spacious and we loved the Japanese-style dining area within our room.. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. We had our first use of an onsen which we found very relaxing. The location of the ryokan is fantastic.

This ryokan is in a great spot walking distance from the train station and very close to the sights. It had a nice bath and good food. I was glad we were able to book a room with a private bathroom, too. It was quite busy and larger than I imagined but the staff were all very nice

United StatesWe did half board with all meals served inside our room. This was not the best kaiseki experience we had, and we found the food to be fine, but not exceptional. There are so many cafes and izakayas nearby that it was a shame we had to eat in the hotel.
Room was lovely and traditional, though not the most comfortable futon beds we slept on during our Japan trip (ask for a second futon mattress!). Location was great -- easy access to train/bus station as well as old town and morning market. Onsens were traditional - one inside (hot spring) and two small (heated water) tubs outside. Staff were friendly and very helpful.
