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.).

AustraliaMy dorm pod had a gap at the top which allowed light from the main room light to enter into the pod area which was very annoying when trying to sleep and people coming in and turning on the light. All of the other pods had curtains which could block out the light or were far enough away from the main light so it wasn't a problem. The pod needs to have another curtain to block out this light or otherwise has it so the main light can't be turned on after a certain time.
Location was excellent right next to the station. The showers were good and the beds very comfortable.

AustraliaThe showers were nice but sometimes the shower head would rotate so it was facing the wall and it was difficult to get it to stay in the right position.
The room was brilliant with a great view overlooking the river and the Skytree. The rooftop was a great place to hang out at night and have breakfast in the morning.

FranceThe staff was really nice and helpful Everything was really good explained and the hostel was always clean Beds are comfortable, good space to organize your things, small lockers for valuable objects I loved the rooftop, with the view on Sumida river, Tokyo Skytree... beautiful at night or for sunrise The location was great, not far from Ueno train station (25 min walking) and Ueno park Close to the river, possible to walk and run all along even at night, beautiful scenery ! For sure, I'll come back to this hostel in a few weeks, when i come back to Tokyo :))

Beautiful location near the river and the Sensoji temple. The facilities are great including the lovely roof terrace and nice shower rooms. The staff were helpful and I found the place overall very clean and peaceful.

The view from the rooftop, the kind staff, it was all quiet in the dorm I got great sleep, guess I was just lucky for this though. Amazing spot to explore Asakusa et get to other districts easily.

Great location, very short walk to Asakusa station, shops, bars, markets, etc. Roof top terrace overlooking river and Tokyo Skytree was great. I didn’t expect that much, considering the price, but it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely book again.

United KingdomLocation is a bit far from the party areas. It was a bit dusty in the capsule. Breakfast is very basic. A bit on the pricier side, but not too much.
Cheery staff, large capsules, good aircon, great location for sightseeing. Has a nice bar if you just want to drink in the evening at the hotel. Also, the washing and drying was cheap with free washing powder.
