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.).

CanadaNot much to not like for the price, location, space.
Around the block from the Kyoto JR station. Very central. King size bed in Japan is rare, lots of space relatively speaking.

JapanI left my smartphone (the only one able to make in-country calls) in a taxi. I asked the staff for help and they refused to even call the taxi company for me. They also did not advice me on what I could do. The people in Kyonavi helped me beautifully, unlike the guy at the counter that day. He did not even apologize, he just flat out said "no, I will not do that." Worst customer service I've ever seen in Japan.
APA hotels are great. None of them have failed me in what they offer.

United StatesFor some reason there wasn't room service during our stay entirely. Instead, there was a bag on the door handle containing the daily supplies such as towels and toiletries. But clearly no one came in to clean the room.
Breakfast was great and location is very close to the station as well.

United StatesNothing to complain about our stay.
Very close to JR Kyoto station and the King Bed room is actually fairly large for Japanese standards. The ability to store luggage before the check-in time was also incredibly helpful since we arrived in Kyoto in the morning.

United StatesThe only real complaint was how limited the TV channels were but this goes for all APA hotels, not this one specifically.
The room was small but bigger than other APA hotels. There was a nice storage space under the bed for our suitcases which really helped to create more space. Being so close to the main train station was also super convenient.

Hong KongThere is an unusual high riser/step to get into the bathroom (higher than an average staircase riser), and we nearly tripped over a few times. So you need to be careful.
I selected the hotel primarily because of its proximity to Kyoto Station, just a one-minute walk from the North Gate. My decision was based on a brief look at its appearance on Google Maps, as I didn't have much information about it beforehand. Upon arrival, I discovered that the hotel is relatively new, having been built in 2019. Although the room is compact, its modern and clean design appealed to me. One notable feature is the ability to store our two very large suitcases under the bed, a convenience not always available in older hotels.

AustraliaOnly thing was how difficult it was to get out of your room each day due to the cleaning mess. I tripped over a pile of bags that were in the middle of the corridor near the elevators. This didn’t ruin my stay, just be aware you have to be very careful where you are walking if you leave after 7am!
The location for this hotel is amazing. So close to local trains and buses. Also very close to some local shopping. We loved the Kyoto Tower Sando Food Hall Just down the road and the amazing food options as well at the Porta underground. Inari Shrine and Nishiki Market were only a few stops away. It was also super easy to get to Kinkaru-Ji and other sites in Kyoto including the Gion district. Beds were not amazing but were the comfiest on our 5 week Japan holiday.
