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...).

SingaporeNothing really!
Location is superb. Short walk to metro subway or JR Namba Line. Lots of eateries downstairs. 24-hr convenience stores a stone's throw away. The 3 beds side by side easily fitted my family of 4 for many nights of good sleep. Hot water shower is reliable for the cold autumn weather.

Hong KongWould have preferred if there was a place to refill water on each floor instead of having to go all the way down to the lobby.
Location was extremely convenient. The shower room's humidifier was very good, ensured that I would dry quickly. Very useful during cold weather! Liked the long sofa and hangers to help with laying things out.

RussiaThe room is tiny. Enough for 1 person, but 2 would be bumping into each other every now and then. Not enough floor space to open a suitcase to take out clothes. No shelves for clothes Coffee could have been better The bathroom door when swung open blocks access to the entrance and the clothes rack. A sliding door would be a more reasonable solution
Convenient location, right in the heart of Dotonbori if you fancy tourist traps. A short walking distance from Namba station Excellent variety of Japanese and European food for breakfast. We continue our trip across Japan after Osaka Namba and their breakfast has been the best so far The staff

United StatesTruly in the middle of the heart of Osaka. Still, it felt very quiet. Breakfast was good and so was the free coffee in the lobby. They offer free wine on the evening, but we were usually out and didn’t take advantage. They also offered free razors, makeup removers, lotions, and bath minerals, which was really nice. I’d advise them to put them in the room instead as I saw someone grab a handful. 😕

Philippinesthe toilet room was a bit small.
I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. When my curling iron didn't work, they promptly provided me with a spare one at no extra charge, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel for its great service and welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning!

United StatesThis is something that I've found to be an issue at most hotels we've stayed at in Japan, but the on-site laundry machines are limited in quantity and don't seem very effective. At one point I wash/dried just one single sweater, and after an hour and a half it was still damp. It's not a deal breaker, but definitely something to consider while planning a longer trip. We just ended up walking a few blocks to a 24/7 laundromat.
This hotel was truly in the heart of Namba. You take two steps out of the front door and you're in the middle of the action. Yet despite it's proximity to Dotonbori, everything from the lobby of the hotel to the room is so quiet. The room was clean, the staff was extremely helpful, and the location just couldn't be beat. There's a breakfast buffet that offers both western and Japanese options that we enjoyed a few mornings. Overall we were very pleased with our stay!

LuxembourgThe room is quite small. It would have been fine if we didn't have 2 large suitcases with us but we were there for the shopping so at one point, my husband and I had to take turns going around the room because its a squeeze having our suitcases open and the both of us trying to fix our stuff, get our clothes, etc
Smack in the middle of the action in Dotonbori - Namba walk is 5min away, foodstalls and restaurants are right outside the hotel entrance, a Family Mart is just across the street, Don Qui is on the next street, Shinsaibashi-Suji shopping and Glicoman is a 10min walk away...you can't ask for anything more central than Forza Hotel. The staff are polite, the lobby is exquisitely decorated, there's free coffee and hot chocolate, free toiletries (including facial wash and face lotion) and everything is well-maintained. If we're going back to Osaka, we'll book this hotel again.
