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.).

United StatesThe room had a staleness to it any time we came because from being away all day and the fridge worked poorly. Very tiny room.
The property itself was only about a 20 minute walk from Kyoto station making it very convenient for traveling around the city. The property was well outfitted with amenities, as well.

Perfect location! The room was small, but the bed was big enough for me and my 2 kids (10 and 12). I loved the public bath located on the 2nd floor. I went every night!

SwitzerlandThe blinds were quite inadequate in keeping out sunlight, so I was up around sunrise every day, no matter how long I wanted to sleep.
Excellent location with a 7-Eleven next door and a bus stop with many bus lines to various tourist attractions in front of the hotel. Also within (extended) walking distance to Gion, Nishiki Market and Teramachi shopping street. The 5-8pm drinks happy hour was nice when coming back to the hotel in the evenings.

CanadaThe size of the room are very tiny. I meant, it’s not a big deal knowing that I’m there to explore the city not the hotel. I think the washrooms could have stronger ventilation during and after showers. I would also suggest to have drying towel next to the toilet bowl so I can dry my hands after every time I wash them.
The location and staff are amazing.

United KingdomThere was a kettle in the room and mugs but no tea bags or coffee so I'm not sure why they provided these.
The location was great - fairly near the centre and with a bus stop right outside. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thought had been given to European visitors for breakfast so as well as Japanese food there were cheese and ham toasties, croissants and rolls with butter and jam.

CanadaMattress was a bit painfully firm after 3 nights.
Location was excellent to great shopping, food, and temples. Would definitely recommend for travelers looking to enjoy a variety of activities because the location is easy to access so many things. About a 20 min walk from Kyoto station as well, for access to the JR rail for day trips to nearby towns. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the free Happy Hour drinks in the evening.

United KingdomThe room was dusty, even shelving was not cleaned. Such a nice hotel however cleaners should pay attention to dust build up. Check the layer of dust under the bed to understand my point - it’s really not that cool to breath in so much dust in.

United StatesElevators smell of cigarette smoke. Both elevators. This was very annoying. Not sure why you have to offer a smoking room in your hotel.. and why does it have to be right next to the elevators. This was a huge issue for my family. Pretty disgusting! Breakfast was weak. Room was way too small. The blankets were also very small for a 6 ft male.
Shower was nice.. pressure was great. Television with options of movies. Free drinks were a +. Laundry service was okay. Location was great. Staff was welcoming and friendly.
