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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

GreeceThe pillows were kind of uncomfortable and the way to the common hot spring was a bit scary at night if one was alone.
We stayed at the annex, it had an elevator and a free drinking station with alcohol. Very pretty facilities and helpful staff. Really big room. Loved the private hot spring at the room.

United StatesLocated near a few bus stops, which was vital in Hakone. Also next to a Family Mart, amazingly convenient. Didn’t have to leave the property for much else though. Kaiseki breakfasts and dinners were so abundant and delicious. The in-room onsen was a highlight and so private and zen. Love the traditional tatami floors and beds, as well as yukatas, board games, etc they provide. 24/7 soda machine and bar was a big plus. They gave my kids toy gachas nightly.

AustraliaDon't understand why smoking was not allowed anywhere onsite - this was unnecessary and could have been accommodated somewhere outdoors under cover. It meant that guests and staff were regularly walking over to family mart to smoke in the rain. A better path to Family Mart would have ben helpful, very narrow and on the road - wet and dangerous. Parking in the driveway made it challenging to get out at times.
The provided dinner and breakfast were fantastic, a real experience. It made the trip easy knowing these meals were being provided onsite. The private onsen in the room was appreciated as was the parking and the public onsen. Location was accessible to Hakone and Gotemba and beyond. Great having a Family Mart next door.

IrelandMy only gripe is that I couldn’t stay longer. Hopefully there will be another time I visit and am lucky enough to stay here again.
After a long day traversing the wonderful sights of Hakone, I absolutely adored my brief stay here. The hotel is in a peaceful area, two mins walk Family Mart, and the bus stop directly across from there. My room was fabulous, clean, and had traditional Tatami floor and table, a really comfortable bed (there were two), and my own private bath. I sat and watched some fun Japanese music contest on tv while I snacked on an assortment of pickled vegetables and a beer or three. I didn’t watch tv during my time in Japan apart from this hotel, they had fun stations to watch and I really enjoyed the relaxed environment to myself, hopping in and out of my bath for more snacks and checking in on the song contest. Breakfast was a stunning traditional Japanese breakfast. I got in early and it was just myself and a local who I believe was a local tour bus driver who I met when outside Family mart. Breakfast consisted of freshly cooked fish along with an assortment of seasonal appetisers, Miso soup with shell-fish and steamed dumplings with pork and vegetables thst cooked while I had the fish and appetisers, and a huge pot of rice with tea, water and coffee if requested. I didn’t know where to start, but when the man beside me cracked open his egg into the miso and giggled with delight….you bet I followed him through every step of this beautiful breakfast. The reception and breakfast staff were very friendly and I can tell are all really hard workers judging by the quality of the food, facilities, and excellent cleanliness of the room.

AustraliaVery traditional dinner and breakfast may not be to everyone's taste, but it was a feature of our stay, and why we booked the Ryokan.
Excellent location, 100m from the bus stop, with regular and frequent bus service. Modern building but authentic style. Efficient and helpful staff. Onsen was very enjoyable.

AustraliaNo western-style food available at the Ryokan, but could be purchased at the nearby convenience store.
Well located an easy walk from a bus stop on a major bus route, and near a convenience store. Modern building and authentic Ryokan Japanese dinner and breakfast in the dining room. Yukata and slippers provided for use in the dining room, adding to the cultural experience. In-room Onsen was very pleasant.

Amazing place, so peaceful, clean and serene. As soon as you arrive you feel relaxed and the open air onsen in the room with a view of the forest is incredible. Peaceful nature around, would definitely recommend!

United KingdomCleanliness of the room was very poor, the beds being traditional beds were not too comfy for my western standards but were a nice experience. The private onsen was rather small for 2 people. The bathroom in general was very poorly lit, old fashioned and not very clean.
Fantastic Onsen hotel, food in particular was an amazing experience, a huge meal and catered to my vegetarian requirements for both breakfast and dinner, they went out of their way to do so. The quality of the non veg kaiseki meal was incredible also. Location is great, very accessible by bus and train from Tokyo. Lots to see nearby.

CanadaThe private onsen attached to the room could have been a bit nicer and with open windows instead of fixed bars to enjoy the view better. But still was hot and relaxing!
Very spacious and comfy room, private onsen attached to the room is nothing fancy but still very relaxing after a long day. Public onsen was also very big and had an outdoor area with nice landscaping too. Shower room was big with hot water and good pressure. The included breakfast and dinner were yummy with good variety of small dishes and different dinners for both nights we stayed :) There was all you can drink during dinner times + free alcohol bar available all day. Definitely worth the price! Nice location next to a bus stop + convenience store and close to Togendai and the Venetian glass museum.
