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.).

AustraliaVery small room, which I know is expected but in our 2 week trip we stayed in 5 different hotels this was by far the smallest! No where to put your luggage or even stand. There is 1 small lift which you had to wait 10 minutes when it was busy.
Close to the station and restaurants. Was very clean and had good amenities. Staff friendly and speak English well.

AustraliaLaundry was terrible, used the washing machine which cost several dollars and I don't think it actually cleaned any of my clothes.
Great location, very short walk to Ueno station. Great family mart within a short walk and lovely seating area on bottom floor that you can use to eat etc.

United KingdomRooms are too warm and there is no control in the room to adjust. Sleeping was therefore exceptionally difficult. We also had very noisy neighbours as there is no way to enforce quiet hours - people returning at 2AM and spending multiple hours getting ready for bed. Hostels on this scale (20 dorm rooms over 8 floors) are not fun!
Functional hostel in a great part of Tokyo - Ueno Park is just a short walk away. Loved being around the hostel but not in it!

Polandthe lack of space for my bag in the room. lack of reading light
small rooms with everything you need (the only con is the lack of place for your bag) great location (it's just a few minutes from Ueno station - which is a great travel hub) but on the same time it is a bit to the side so it's quiet small but filling breakfast (just as mention - they are usually not included in the price) coin washing and drying machine on 7th floor as well as drink vending machine. whole floor dedicated to women. wifi working good

Well located just outside ueno station, with Ameyoko, Asakusa and Keisei liner Ueno at walkable distance. Comes with facilities like kitchen at common area and laundry. They assigned me a corner bed(maybe because I'm staying for a week) which made me grateful as I don't have to disturb others.

Ok for groups of friends but rooms are very small, not a lot of space for cases. The beds have pull-across curtains and individual lights, which is handy. Communal areas are very clean.

JapanThe bed was too hard as if there wasn't a mattress. The pillow was also too flat. Felt like I was lying directly on a tatami. Couldn't sleep at all for the whole night. Won't be staying again. The 6-female room didn't have a small common area as shown in the photo. It was very difficult to open up a suitcase of 24 inch in the room without blocking the way in and out of the room.

United StatesThe beds were super uncomfortable and very very firm. It almost felt like sleeping on the floor. Also not the properties fault really but the bathroom got super dirty (people left a mess) and the cleaning staff came pretty late in the morning to take care of it. I was startled by the dirty bathroom (overflowing bins, lots of hair everywhere , toilet not flushed - come on people!)
Good location close to Ueno Park /Ginza line. Separate female only floor. Spacious and a lot of privacy. Very quiet.
