How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I don't like that the toilet automatically makes noise as soon as you sit down. But that is the only issue really.
Large room, very clean and an amazing location! The location itself is clean and quiet and close to conbini and coin laundry. From the hotel you can easily walk to shopping districts and the gion district. The bathroom was clean and comfortable. The bed is the biggest we had in Japan, and comfortable.

I really liked this place. It has a lot more space than the 4 other places I stayed at in Japan. Very comfortable beds, quiet, good air flow. Awesome shower in a decent location for exploring all Kyoto has to offer. Luggage storage if you arrive early and after checkout. Free coffee. Friendly staff and good overall value.

The only downside is the ventilation, it was a bit stuffy, especially when we came back from being around town and in the night.
The staff was really helpful and friendly, the location was great and the beds were really comfortable! All the basics were provided as well.

I didn’t like that it was difficult too find. I had thought that the annex meant it was attached to the main hotel, but it’s actually around the block at a different address. I also didn’t care for the breakfast. Their breakfast is a small box that you take to your room to eat. Our room had 1 chair for the two of us and a table that was too high to eat at. The boxed breakfast was very pretty with a green salad 1/2 hard cooked egg, mashed sweet potato a fish roll that was very fishy and two small, small 2” squares of French type bread. I thought is was 700 yen, but it actually turned out to be 1600 yen per person which I think is too much for what we got. It looked beautiful, but it’s not my taste for breakfast and it’s not easy to eat.
I liked how close the hotel is to the Teramachi mall and the Nishiki market. I also liked that the room has plenty of lighting options to read by. I loved the pillows. I’ve read that they are buckwheat husk pillows.
