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 StatesIt can be hard to get to/from the hotel with large luggage if traveling heavy--the trip from Hakone-Yumoto station by taxi is a little long (expensive), and scheduling a taxi on your departure day from the hotel back to Hakone-Yumoto station can be challenging due to lack of taxis in the area.
Absolutely incredible staff from the moment of arrival to the moment of departure. In particular, Yuuta was so helpful, attentive, and downright elegant. An EXCEPTIONAL breakfast and dinner were included with our room, prepared as Japanese interpretation of multi-course French cuisine. The view from the dining area was stunning. Absolutely wonderful. I believe all rooms include a private outdoor onsen (hot spring bath) where you can soak for hours while enjoying nature.

United StatesIt's not that easy to reach by bus, I wish they would've arranged to come pick us up at the bus stop, it's exclusive enough where I believe they could've.
The dinner and breakfast were great, and so was the room with the private onsen. The staff were all super polite, and my girlfriend and I have an amazing stay here overall.

United StatesThey need to provide more instructions/ detail on how to get from the train station to the hotel for NON Japanese speakers. I suggest including this information in the Booking.com entry for the hotel and sending an email prior to arrival with the details on how to take the bus from the train station (in English). Example: From the Odawara train station exit to the bus terminal take the “T” bus line, ride 58 stops, get off at stop #256, Ubako-Onsen-iriguchi.
Great room, and private Onsen was terrific. Staff was very kind and attentive. Meals were excellent!

GermanyIt was a bit strange (and could be cold in winter) that the room only had a shower outside near the onsen. The sink inside the room was directly near the tea area and some electric and didn't provide much space. Due to the fact that the room's onsen was kind of a grotto, the room was quite dark and didn't have a lot of daylight (just be aware of it, there is not much they can change about it). The same applies for the smell. In the hallway and room, it sometimes smelled a bit moist. The breakfast on the second day had a lot of seafood - which was unusual for our European taste. I'm sure that if you tell them, you'll get e.g. the eggs Benedicts we had the day before. For the price of the hotel, we would have expected a bed that is more comfy and some fresh water each day. Be aware that the hotel is a bit off from the lake (as quite a lot of other hotels in this hill area are). However, there is a bus stop nearby that you need to walk up hill to.
We treated ourselves with two nights in this hotel and had a wonderful time. The staff was extremely friendly and polite, especially their attention during dinner was on point. Our room had an authentic Japanese interior and a private onsen outside which you could look at from the inside. It was nice to enjoy and relax in after a long day. The outside area was built with wooden bricks and designed that noone could look inside. The food was a completely new experience. It started with delicious cookies in our room and ended up in the 9 course menu with lots of saisonal flavours and a mix between Japanese and French cuisine. Both evenings, we took the accompanying wine selection and loved it. The dinner area is also nicely decorated and offers great views into the forest.
