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...).

Somewhat far from the main attractions of Kyoto, unless you bike or take the bus.
This BnB was very charming, clean and most importantly, affordable with a bunch of extra nifty features. Renting out ON shoes and bikes was a great way to explore Kyoto.

Nothing bad really. Heating worked a treat. We knew beforehand about the shared bathrooms and communal seating areas so that was ok. Bed was comfy. Showers were good.
Great value room in kyoto. Bnb in the title a bit misleading for us Europeans if you don't look further into it. It's not bed and breakfast! It's a doable walk from 2 local train stations and the buses are dirt cheap! Buses stop almost at the door.

Instantly felt welcomed, nice interior, helpful staff and a lot of things you can use like board games or the kitchen (with stuff like oil, salt, etc). We also enjoyed the Sentou a lot, which was just a few minutes by foot.

Fujitaya BnB provides a truly warm environment. The lovely owners and staff, as well the shared spaces and kitchen amenities create a wonderful atmosphere for families, solo travelers and groups of friends to enjoy a healthy community. It is also a very clean and cozy air bnb with basic amenities in rooms and shared bathrooms. Remember to bring your own toothbrush and. toothpaste, plus slippers. Some group activities are provided occasionally, as well such as the Takoyaki party we enjoyed on my first evening, and yet when alone time is desired, it is honored. I enjoyed myself so much that I extended my stay by two more days! Thank you SO MUCH Fujitaya BnB 💞☺️

The space was clean, comfortable, and cozy! There were very thoughtful touches and details throughout that made us feel at home.

We really loved our stay here! <3 It was the coziest place during our japan stay. We like to wander around by walking so we think that it was in a perfect place, you could easily walk to the train station / shops / etc. We really loved the staff there, they were so nice and made us feel so welcome. We higly recommend this place to stay, if you are looking for home away from home vibes! <3

The room was a bit basic. Maybe some storage space for clothes would help rather than live out of suitcase/backpack. Not a big deal though.
Very friendly and helpful staff. There is a full kitchen so you could self-cater here. They hosted a sushi making and sake tasting session for a small extra charge, which was a great way to mix and mingle. There was also the option to rent bikes but we didn't get round to that.
