Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The price wasn't very good for what it is. I have stayed in cheaper places that offer higher quality services. What's more is that you need to pay for the washing machine, which at this higher price, I wouldn't have expected.
The location was good and it was very quiet. There was a nice place to eat, and the whole place felt comfortable and safe.

There's only one shower room. The bed was thin so i don't get good sleep. There were people from different countries who were so loud late at night and early in the morning (Not the hostels fault). I'm not sure if they know etiquettes in hostels like these. But it was surely annoying. Shoes were brought in despite the sign that shows no shoes inside the rooms. There's a designated place for the shoes. Bags and luggage were all over on the floor, no lockers for valuables.
I liked that it was actually beside the Sugamo station. They include towel, wash cloth, toothbrush. Easy to find, access and check in/out was easy.

The rooms are packed, and it is clear why it is a male only hostel. Girls would have a fit if they saw how messy all the guys are once put together.
Contactless check in so you can arrive late night. It is close by the train station as well.

The place was a mess and had an off-putting smell when I entered. At the head rest of my bed there was plenty of dust that I couldn't sweep off or clean myself as it would go right onto my bed, showed that it hadn't been cleaned adequately. Toilets and showers were messy too

It was a bit hard to find the hotel since the photos provided to find directions and the location were different.
It was all male rooms. It was okay. The room was a little smelly. Very close to the Sugamo train station and nearby restaurant's. Finding a Denny's is like 7 to 10 minutes walk. But walking and exploring is fun and experience Japan culture.

- • Solo traveler

The toilets however had no toilet paper for several days in a row, not a single toilet. The bedroom is a also very narrow and there is barely and space to move. Not the Hostels fault but some of the guests behave like pigs and leave trash everywhere, some even washed their feet in the sink which is pretty gross.
I liked that the hostel provided shampoo and bodywash. The position and connection in Sugamo is perfect to get into the city quickly and Sugamo itself provides lots of shops and things to see. The little lockers in the washroom are good enough to store little hygiene products. Bigger Valuables should be taken and not left in the bedroom since they could be stolen
