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...).

AustraliaWifi was a bit slow - not a huge issue for us but might be for others.
Location was great as we were right in the middle of a great shopping area. Despite being in such a busy area the hotel was still quiet and peaceful. It smelt amazing too!

United StatesThe breakfast wasn’t great so I’m glad we didn’t opt for that included in our room price. After paying one morning (equivalent to $10 USD) and deciding we didn’t like it, we opted for a bakery around the corner for the following days.
Property was clean and staff super friendly and helpful. They don’t do full service room cleaning every day, but do leave you fresh towels and garbage bags. You can leave your dirty towels and garbage outside your room in the bag provided in the morning and they will pick up. I know for some this might be a deal breaker, but it didn’t matter to us especially at the reasonable price we paid. Room was very nice and the location was great; walk to Gion, easy subway/bus access to the hotel to visit other points of interest.

United KingdomMy only comment for an improvement if they are really keen to be environmentally friendly is to reduce the number of amenities that are single use and wrapped in plastic on offer for guests to take up to their room.
Perfect location in downtown Kyoto. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Their English was very good. Very comfortable bed.

United StatesIf I were to nitpick it's that room was a bit cramped for two people and their luggages.
Excellent location, also great amenities, they had everything from cleansing oil to hair milk and face mask. I liked that this hotel is in a prime location and walkable to all important Kyoto attractions such as Pontocho (less than 5 min walk), and Higashiyama (15 min walk). The train station is around 8 min (by walk). We found out that a tea ceremony we had booked musch before, ended up being only 5 minutes away. Given that Kyoto is less subway connected than Osaka and Tokyo, the location makes this a great stay. The room style had a quaint and classic architectural feel you see in pictures.

AustraliaRoom was quite small but that was to be expected as we booked a small double. Very good value for the price we paid.
Great location with easy walk to the modern shopping but also across the river to some of the ancient sites. Very convenient to several bus stops and metro which between them made accessing further away sites very easy. Hotel was very clean and everything was in 100% top condition. Staff were very friendly, was able to get early check in as our room was ready. Very quiet, no traffic or external noise even though the hotel is in a busy area. Bed was very, very comfortable. Nice little lounge area with a free coffee machine, chilled water and ice.
