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.).

AustraliaIn comparison to other hotels we stayed at in Japan, There wasn’t that many breakfast options, would have loved some fresh fruit and yoghurt and there weren’t as many free amenities.
Check in was fun but needed staff assistance. Loved the location close to the station and the price point was good with breakfast included. Comfy big beds although not much room for bags.

South AfricaVery cute hotel. Very nice location. Was a fun experience having robotic dinosaurs welcome you to the hotel. The lockers in the lobby were also a great touch for the early arrival and the need to store bags until flying out. Just one thing I thought weird was wanting to charge me to use the vacuum cleaner. I wanted to quickly use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum seal my travel bags and the hotel wanted to charge me. Room was very clean, the staff member I did interact with was very helpful. Would definitely return when in Kyoto

United KingdomWhilst it was soundproofed to a point, we could still hear the consistent shinkansen rolling past, I didn't mind that but it wasn't fully sound proofed.
I liked the dinosaur check in, as well as the peacefulness not having to speak with anyone. I also couldn't hear anyone from any other room

IndiaBreakfast is extremely ok. They have negligible vegetarian options and the staff at the Breakfast restaurant is not so happy to help with extra bread or juice.
The room is big, well lit and bed is ultra comfortable. Location is opposite Kyoto station. The bathroom has awesome bath tub. Loved the room size. They have storage for bags and keep our luggage for the day after checkout. The robots check you in and out and it's super easy.

All remote contact with the robots doing all the check in and check out. Also great spots to leave your luggage secured during the day.

SingaporeDespite the spacious room size, there is no wardrobe provided. There are only a few hooks mounted on the wall for hanging of cothes which is not enough especially during winter with jackets. The room is not very clean, I spotted dust and dead flies on the bedframe. The pillows are also very soft and looks like they have been used for a long time.
Good location, only a few minutes walk to Kyoto station. The staff are helpful. Compare to other smaller hotels in Japan the room is quite spacious.
