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 KingdomThe location was spot on - just a 5-minute walk to the station and right in the heart of shops and restaurants, making it super convenient. The room had a lovely big king-size bed and was well-stocked with all the toiletries you could possibly need. Breakfast was traditional Japanese, but there were also options like croissants, yoghurt, and granola for those who prefer a more Western start to the day. There’s no bar or lunchtime service, but with so much nearby, it wasn’t an issue. Being a large chain hotel, it did feel a little less personal, and the lifts got quite busy at peak times, especially during breakfast. Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay.

CanadaThe elevator is very busy around 9AM.
The room was large, with a desk, small table and a larger bed (Japanese king bed). The traditional Japanese breakfast is a plus, and the location is very close to Kyoto Station and shopping options (including Yodobashi and Donki). Dining options around the area are great, from Wagyu to Italian restaurants.

United KingdomA lovely little hotel with a comfy bed and nice onsen for relaxing after a long day of walking around Kyoto. Expensive compared to other cities, but then that’s Kyoto for you. The included breakfast was varied and good quality, I was able to fill up for a long day of walking! The room is standard Japan - small but with a very comfy bed and a small but spotless bathroom.

JapanElevators are crowded in the morning time. Room making starts at around 9:00 am, and so, the room is a bit noisy.
Close to the JR Kyoto Station. There is a convenience store (seven-eleven) in front of the hotel. Comfortable WIFI connection, which could be used as a ZOOM meeting.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is close to train station but a 30 minute walk/ bus/train ride from Gion & other attractions. Plenty of restaurants & convenience stores nearby.

SingaporeI have visited Kyoto a few times, staying in different hotels APA Kyoto Ekihigashi, have been by far my favourite choice. Location of the hotel is mins away from Kyoto main train stations where u can take all Kyoto line to your needed destinations. It is also beside malls like Bic Camera . In house onsen is available with well prepared amenities provided.

Perfect location, just a few steps from Kyoto station. Room size was OK in comparision to other Japanese hotels. Big comfy beds but the pillows were extremly hard and not comfortable . A lot of amenities. There is an onsen as well but I did not try it.
