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...).

AustraliaThe downstairs toilet could be cleaned more regularly- due to do many people using it.
Great location, lovely staff, clean and modern (albeit tiny) room with all we required. Great value.

AustraliaThe room is a little narrow and if you have a suitcase, there’s not much room to open it. Not a lot of storage space for your stuff.
The location is excellent - extremely close to the Iriya entrance of Ueno station. Close to convenience stores and a short walk away from shops and restaurants. The amenities are good and the mattress is thick and comfortable. Price was very reasonable.

United StatesThe bunk was spacious but the mattress/futon was very hard and uncomfortable.
I really enjoyed this property, it was clean and so close to the train station. The staff was really nice, when I had a slight issue with check in due to a delay they were very understanding and helped my group get situated. The linens were clean and all shared facilities were the same. The shower room was super spacious and had a lot of shelving for your personal items.

The accommodation is in a good location as we was using the station daily for metro and trains. Very clean and conformance. Reception being 24/7 is always a plus. The room is small yes but had read reviews beforehand so wasn’t surprised. Appreciate the conditioner/shampoos etc in bathrooms as a traveller

AustraliaThe location was great! Very close to Ueno Station. Staff were very accommodating especially when our flight was delayed by two hours and we didn't arrive at the hotel until past midnight, but they still waited for us to check-in and get us settled in! Very nice of them! Breakfast was also great! Not a lot of variety but for the price and quality it was good value!

ThailandThe room has a compact layout.
The hotel is conveniently situated within a 7-minutes walk from both JR and MRT Ueno stations, providing easy access to the city's extensive transportation network. While Keisei Ueno Station is a slightly longer walk, taking approximately 10 minutes. You can easy access to the Ameyoko shopping district, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a convenient base for exploring Tokyo city.

MalaysiaRoom was really small (but buyer beware I suppose), with limited landing space to open up one large luggage. We travelled light i.e. 1 large luggage, 2 hand carries and yet it was difficult w the space
Location was terrific. Lots of lines connect to Ueno station so being a 3 min walk away from the nearest exit is truly a life-changer. Helpdesk was friendly. Common area was large with enough amenities for food and drink
