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...).

ItalyThis hotel is a scam. And don’t reflect the cool pictures shown on the website. We were welcomed by the RUDEST old man (instead of the smiley receptionist shown on the picture) - the worst customer service we had in the entire Japan. Absolutely awful- I would really review the staff you leave in the front office to give a first impression, he has no clue how to treat a customer and clearly racist towards foreigners who pay his salary. facilities are outdated. Bed is not comfortable - amenities are very limited compare to any other hotel we have been of the same price range. Avoid.

United StatesThe room layout was tight and stuffy. In my 6 bed bunk, the side of my head was parallel to the door opening which was noisy. My suitcase only opened halfway because it touched the wall. If you have anything other than a carry on bag it will may not fit underneath the bunk bed. There is no area to repack your suitcase, only to store if it is too large in the main lobby.
Ueno station is directly across the street and about 5-7 minutes walking to the subway lines. Each floor was clean. The bunk bed had it's own small locker to store valuables with 1 plug, 1 regular USB female outlet, and a light.

It’s a great hostel in the center of Ueno. The room is clean and super quiet. The hostel is close to the subway station, and close by there are plenty of shopping areas and restaurants. Highly recommended to families who are looking for reasonable accommodation while staying in Tokyo.

We booked this for one night as transit, location is perfectly located <5 mins walk to nearest train station Ueno (entrance). What impressed me was how clean it was, especially the bathroom. I was staying in a family room, 2 adults and 3 kids, the room is small but good enough for a stop over spot.

ArgentinaFor some reason sometimes the AC would be set so cold that it was freezing until we figure out how to set it. It's not your tipical hostel, they have private rooms and I think it was also used for tour groups so it wasn't too social. While great for transfers the area around Ueno doesn't have a great nightlife.
I stayed 7 days and I was lucky to get the bunk bed in the corner with no top bunk so it was like having a private room with room to spare. Breakfast was great too with pastries, bread, sausages, fruit salad. Being close to Ueno meant easy access to the trains to do daytrips, going to Disney without too many changes.

United StatesMy room smelled like very old, stagnant air and kind of like body odor, until maintenance changed the air filters, and then it smelled like nothing (thankfully). I bought a very cheap air freshener and put it in the corner and it made a lot of difference. There should be one in every room to avoid people having a stinky room.
I happened to get a bunk in a dorm that was actually more like a small room. The mattress was on the floor and there was a decent amount of floor space next to it, and I could stand up and walk around. The alternative would have been to pay more for a private room or get a standard bunk that you can barely even sit up in comfortably. There was also a small safe (which the bunk beds didn't have). I guess I got lucky. The bathrooms are all well maintained, clean, and have plenty of soaps/shampoo/conditioner. The lounge/kitchen area was nice, too. It's a great location right near Ueno Station and plenty of restaurants, conbinis, ATMs, vending machines, and shops nearby. If you get hungry/thirsty at any hour, you'll find something within a couple minutes of walking. All of the staff at the front desk I spoke to all spoke English and were very helpful.

TurkeyThe bed could be more comfortable, it was old and the center has lost its form. Was still comfortable though. Just beware there are no lockers (only a mini locker for passport and phone) and towels provided for a small fee. It wasn’t a problem for me since I didn’t take my laptop.
I stayed for 10 days, solo travelling. I got a corner bed in the dorm room which was like having a sub-room. I had enough room to even put my luggage. The bathrooms were well equipped. The location is just next to Ueno station, made it easy to reach anywhere.

PhilippinesDidn’t expect my lower bunk bed to be a bit cramped since the opening is on the smaller side unlike other beds.
Accessible to Ueno Station and Keisei Ueno Station. Just right across Ueno Park. All staffs were nice and accommodating. Check in and out process was smooth.
