Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

RomaniaBreakfast was a disaster. Eventhough most of the guests wer foreigners, the breakfast buffet was japanesse. I find this completely disrespectul to its guests. I understand their of not speaking english even at front desk but a good hospitality incorporates its guests habits. Eventhough a like japanesse cuisine, is hard to eat teriaky and sweet scrambled eggs in the morning. We bought boiled aggs an bread, cheese , fruits to eat in the morning.

United KingdomI had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Good facilities, with an excellent buffet breakfast. The room was a good size as was the bathroom, comfortable bed, and pillows. It was about 2km from. Kyoto station and a short walk (800m) to Omiya station. Buses to other areas ran nearby, so getting around was pretty easy.

SpainBreakfast is really not worth it, you can have much cheaper and better options in the city. We decided to skip it after the first day. We were already expecting only a few sweet or international options, that was not an issue for us, but even the Japanese food was not very good. Although the hotel is just a short bus ride away from Kyoto station, location was not great and in the room you could hear traffick noises from the street. It didn't bother us that much, but I'm sharing it, as I think it might be useful to know.
The room size was ok, although it was a bit difficult to fit two medium-sized luggages. The bed was really comfortable, in my opinion, not too hard or too soft. Both bedroom and bathroom were clean and everything was working fine. All Apa amenities were provided.

Hong KongNil as everything is good.
The hotel is close to Kyoto Station and many bus stops. You can find supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The staff are very helpful and the foreign staff can communicate in English very well. The room is reasonable with two big beds, probably 4 feet each. We managed to put two big suitcases. The room had windows on both sides and we could see cars running in the road. It is still very quiet at night. The breakfast in the morning is a buffet style with good choices. The food is tasty and the staff are helpful and smiling.
