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...).

United KingdomI booked partly for the balcony but the view is basically just looking into other people properties as the hotel is located in a narrow alleyway street, so did not make use of the balcony as I felt exposed but also intrusive to other properties.
Hotel check-in was quick and informative. Chauffeured to our room and given a quick tour and explanation on how to use facilities. I booked this room for the washing machine and balcony. Nice and convenient having access to cleaning facilities in the room. Very spacious and clean rooms. Location was perfect just outside Nishiki Market and the busy shopping district.

Location ,location , quiet little one way street . The owners and staff who all spoke English and who were the kindest, most helpful people. Rooms were exceptionally clean and everything was provided. The washing machine and drying was an added bonus. It was such a great base for exploring Kyoto . Surrounded by fabulous restaurants and a few doors from Nishiki market

United KingdomNothing!
Having travelled extensively one occasionally chances on a real gem. This is one. The rooms are small but if one travels sensibly there is more than enough space. Those who travel with large suitcases - well, that's your problem! The room had a washing machine which was great and then the bathroom has high tech drying facilities which means it all dries very quickly. The staff were fantastic and engaged with us. We asked for some restaurant recommendations, which resulted in some of our best meals ever - let alone in Japan. They could not do enough for us and were charming, with great English which always make it easier. The hotel is ideally located near a station but also near the main street and other convenient transport links.

AustraliaNothing. The room might too hot and dry in the winter however the hotel provides a humidifier.
Stayed here for 7 nights in a Triple room as family. Although the room appears small, the room is so well designed that little ledges here and there creates usable space for your electronic devices etc. We liked the complimentary coffee machine for an early morning start. The location was excellent for walking around the touristy Nishiki Market and Teramachi etc and despite being in the middle of it all - the street was so quiet at night. The location was also good if you like walking to various attractions (Minamiza theatre 10mins, Nijo Castle 20mins) and it is about a 10 min walk to the Shijo Karasuma Station, which you need to get to JR Station, otherwise if are carrying luggage and you can take a taxi for 1600yen. You could also take the bus but we avoided it after hearing concerns of over-tourisms and of locals not being able to use their bus service.

They were very accommodating and the facilities are very clean and updated. The unit included a washing machine and it allows for drying inside the tub area which was amazing. They even let us extend our stay a two additional nights as we loved it so much. The staff is super nice and the location has a beautiful history.

CanadaThe host family and staff were terrific - kind, informative, helpful and with a sense of humour. We'd come home from a day out with all sorts of questions about things we'd seen and they were happy to share thoughts and explanations. We learned about all sorts of things from language intricacies to local habits and customs. The rooms were a decent size for Japan and the top floor deluxe twin had a great patio for taking in the street below. While the hotel is located on a side street away from a main shopping thoroughfare, we heard nothing at night after 9-10 pm. and we were there four days. We split our time between the more sedate area of Higashiyama and this hotel's more lively Shijo Kawaramachi area. We slept well in both locations. We would stay again. Thank you, GOCO staff!
