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...).

JapanThe property is well situated, within 15mn walk from Nishiki market and 1 station from Kyoto station. The rooms are small but kyoto can be very expensive, especially so close to all the attractions. The receptionist was friendly.

BulgariaIt’s a very convinient location, just 15min away from Teramachi, easy access to metro and bus station as well. At the end of the day, it is a budget hotel so don’t expect luxury but it’s very comfortable and they deliver exactly what you pay for. They also have a smoking room and washing machines. It’s my second time staying in this hotel brand, just a different location and I must say it’s very convinient and cheaper than your regular hotels.

MexicoStrange location for the tv - 90 degrees on the left, so you will not watch anything from the bed comfortably. Microwave in common area was full of the fish smell - not usable in fact.
Good location, clean and internet works perfectly. It's close to metro and buses, not so far from the train station. It has desk, so using computer is very comfortable. Fully automate check in and check out.

United KingdomWe couldn't pull the curtain open to let in natural light or ventilation, which may be due to the room being on the ground floor. You can hear the water running in the pipes from other bathrooms, so bringing some earplugs might be a good idea if you’re a light sleeper. Additionally, the toilet flush and the sound of water from the tap in the bathroom are quite loud, so you might wake up your partner if you use the restroom in the middle of the night :)
The room and bathroom were spotless, and the staff had excellent manners. Check-in was easy. The bedroom door features a padlock with a code to unlock it, and it self-locks a few seconds after closing. A laundry can be used by paying a small fee, and it is so convenient. I appreciated the location, which was in a quiet area, yet conveniently close to the tube station, making it easy to explore Kyoto.

ItalyThe service. Basically everything is self service and the hotel doesn’t offer much. There is no lobby or place where you can rest at arrival. What I found ridiculous was that we had to pay 1000 yen for checking out 20 minutes late. Nobody came to knock at our door, and nobody was at the counter at check out. It felt ridiculous that a machine had to charge us a fee for a service that was basically non existent.
Good things are the fact that it’s small but offers what you need for a short stay. It’s clean and comfortable. Short walk from the station although the area is very quiet and not so central.

JapanLimited amenities for the price (including no fabric spray or shoe horn in the room). Fees paid at check-in added a substantial amount to the initial total (paid per night per person)—good to consider when assessing the price online as it is not reflected. The cost of the coin laundry is a bit high.
Clean rooms and decently sized for Japan, great access to public transportation, the staff was very helpful.

United StatesI wish the hotel had an ice machine, although there is a Lawson convenience store right across the street where I could easily get ice. Additionally, there is no onsen available on-site, which could have been a nice feature.
This hotel is tucked away in a semi-residential area surrounded by small shops, offering an authentic feel of local living. The hotel is fairly new and everything is super clean and organized. It features convenient amenities such as on-site laundry facilities, a microwave, and filtered hot and cold water. Despite its quiet location, it’s conveniently situated just one block from the main street, where you’ll find a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, drugstores, and more. The subway station and bus stops are only a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to get around. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Due to a medical emergency, I extended my time in Kyoto and ended up staying for two weeks. I couldn’t be more grateful for the helpful staff and the homey atmosphere, which made a challenging situation much more manageable.

SpainIt was unexpected that during the day, even though the reception was empty, there was, in fact, personnel watching through the cameras and close by in case you needed something. I had never experienced it, but it felt somehow normal to me.
The hotel was in a really calm street, 10 minutes drive from the station, and the premises were in perfect condition. Me and my group arrived early in the city, so we had to leave our luggage in the hotel's reception. It al went really smooth. We also used a takkyubin service, everything was perfect. The check-in process is self- made, but it was somehow easy. Also, the room size was good, the beds were comfortable, we had TV, mini-fridge and some equipment to make tea. The bathroom was also fully equipped. Would definitely come back :)
