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...).

QatarNo shower in the room, you have to go to another floor for a public shower.
The rabbits are the great attraction and they are cute and friendly. Staying overnight in the island is much better than a quick stop, you'll have plenty of time with the rabbits and riding bike around the island. Great staff and good breakfast and dinner. They have bikes for rent which was great. The rooms were nice and futon beds were very confortable. There is a toilet in each room, but no shower.

United States of AmericaThe only thing that I distinctly remember not loving was how tight the toilet room was - my mom and brother said it reminded them of the toilets on the airplane and shinkansen that we took to arrive at rabbit island - very tight and small and not very spacious. I am short so it didn't bother me as much personally. Also the only bathing option available is the 2 onsen but those are 100% worth experiencing anyway. Outdoor pool was closed when we went late March since it was still cold and it hadn't been cleaned yet.
It has always been a lifelong dream for me to come to Japan just because of rabbit island, and this onsen ryokan truly exceeded my expectations! I was SO excited to learn that there was a resort hotel on the island and we spent an amazing two nights here with the bunnies. I really can't say enough good things about it. The staff were extremely kind and helpful throughout the whole stay, some of them could speak very good English, the lobby had a really cute cafe and gift shop (which we spent a ton of money at). Free breakfast and dinner buffet were AMAZING - we truly felt like kings and queens and the selection was slightly different for each meal. Each item at the buffet table had allergy indicators and we really appreciated it because my mom is vegan so she couldn't have anything with milk, etc. The food was great. My brother had the curry for every meal because he loved it so much. We got to try so many different foods. And the 2 hot springs were incredible as well - we just picked a time when it wasn't too busy to go so we could fully relax without worrying about others seeing us - since we cannot go in with any clothes on, only the small towel provided at the hotel (we can take those home, according to the hotel staff - only the little colorful towels in plastic bags) The hotel also had activities like the morning walk (which we didn't participate in because we wanted to walk around freely, and it was in Japanese anyway so at the reception when we checked in, they handed us a translated page of the tour in case we wanted to participate) and the sea firefly demonstration (which we did go see; they showed some fireflies in a glass of water and they light up the ocean in the summer months and make the water glow blue). The best part was waking and seeing bunnies hop around the front of the hotel from outside our window...as someone obsessed with rabbits and the owner of 2, I truly wanted to live there.

United States of AmericaNot having a shower in our room, but there is a public onsen.
The rabbits were an adorable welcome as we exited the ferry! The staff was friendly and welcoming, the room was comfortable and clean. The view from our room was amazing! The next day we biked around the island and had adventures. The buffet was tasty! So many choices! The fish was fresh and the staff at the restaurant was so kind. I would recommend bringing pellets and hay with you before arriving at the island. There isn't any way to purchase food for the rabbits on the island. I would recommend staying two nights! Get a traditional room! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much to everyone at this resort! Our stay was amazing!

United KingdomBeing prudish brits the shared baths were a bit scary! But we were brave. Would have been nice to have shower cubicles but it's not a deal breaker.
You think an island full of rabbits can't get any better? Well the fact that this hotel is simply amazing makes a visit so much better. Don't make the mistake of booking only a couple of nights, you'll want to stay longer! The food is lovely, every single member of staff is fantastic, especially Aoyama who remembered our names at every interaction, helped us get the right bus and boat home and waved us goodbye as we left. She went out of her way to make our trip special. This really was a magical trip and we hope to return soon!

NetherlandsThe hotel clearly has aged a little, but is still in good condition.
The only Ryokan on Rabbit Island. The hotel is a little aged but otherwise clean and functional. Stay typically includes breakfast and dinner, which are buffet style and quite nice. My room came with a toilet but no shower, instead guests can make use of the two onsen in the building. Which is a nice experience. Staying on the island offers the unique opportunity to enjoy the rabbits during their most active times, which is early morning and evening.

United States of AmericaEverything is on the older side, and there's not much else on the island so be prepared to bring whatever you need for your stay.
I definitely recommend staying the night so you can really appreciate the island and all the bunnies! The staff was incredibly kind, and the dinner/breakfast buffets we got with our reservation were so good! Also there is no shower in the room, you use the shared showeroom/onsen. It was nice to soak after a day full of activities. We also rented bikes to ride around the island. They were kinda old, but they got the job done. If you want a more traditional Japanese experience, then I highly recommend it.

I loved that the head chef prepared a special meal for us on our last night because we are vegetarian. I loved the rabbits. I loved being in their company as I hiked different parts of the island. I loved learning about the history of the island. I loved the breathtaking sunsets. And once more, I loved the rabbits. The rabbits. Oh, my heart.
