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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

GermanyVery noisy hotel. The walls are very thin and you can hear every step of others rooms and certain noises. The windows are covered with a panel which is quite depressing as there is no view outside of window.
Nice rooms and location is great.

SingaporeUnsure of whether we were supposed to sort the trash and then dispose of it ourselves at the front of the accommodation.
The bathroom heater was amazing. It not only kept the bathroom warm, but also dried our clothes really quickly. Quite an innovative addition that we did not see in most other accommodations. Staff were extremely helpful in assisting us when we were trying to figure out directions to places we wanted to visit. Quite a convenient walk from the subway entrance as well, flat roads are easy to navigate. Also walking distance from Gion street and one of the shrines.

FranceThe sofa for one extra person has a metallic bar in it. It didn’t bother me, but if you have back issues you may want to sleep on a bed.
The room itself was nice, and there was a washing machine in the room. We slept well overall, and the hotel is in a nice location. The staff was also very responsive via email.

MalaysiaThe receptionist not a local, hence not very well known about the Japan route.
Very neat and clean room, everything have and convenient for travellers in the room, can see the care of the owner thru the entire room design. Close to many attractions such as Gion street, Kiyomizudera, train station and have few nice restaurants just 2 min walk from the hotel..The river near the hotel have great feeling especially during the morning walk. Recommended!

AustraliaSome rooms are a different shape from the pictures currently provided and I think ours was slightly worse as a result. Also the fold-out bed was atrocious.
Location is superb. Easy enough stroll down to Gion/Pontocho or up onto the hill and temples. The two closest stations can get you to all the best spots in Kyoto (that aren't in walking range) within 30 minutes. The room itself had a lot of facilities that would be very useful in the middle of a trip but we didn't need.
