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...).

AustraliaLoved the location, room was spacious and beds comfortable. Specially like the use of the Onsen, was a great way of winding down after a long day out sightseeing. Also loved the fact they had a laundry on site.

AustraliaThere’s nothing to dislike!
Return visitor to this hotel, and it didn’t disappoint! Such an amazing find right in the heart of Kyoto’s shopping district. Amazing access to local train and bus lines, in a quiet street, and mere minutes away from major sites such as Kyoto imperial palace, Nijo castle, and more. There’s an onsen inside the hotel for use as well. Staff helped us with luggage delivery service to our next hotel. Will definitely return when I’m next in Kyoto. Thank you!

AustraliaI was on level 3 . Somebody was a smoker on that level and my room always smelt very strongly of cigarette smoke. This did make things difficult to breathe restfully 😥
I liked the location, the chill, relaxing environment & and soundproof rooms. The bed & pillows felt extremely comfortable & luxurious. The shoe aide was a really handy touch. I had an in-house massage, too, which was amazing !!

SwitzerlandThe menue in the restaurant is all instant food- and no vegetarian . And since it’s rather dark in the restaurant the English lettering is too small.
As a expat I can say it’s the best location . If it rains you have a few steps for the subway or to shop in department stores. Or in the nearby arcades . You will not need an umbrella for a rainy day shopping or indulge in all the food and amazing patisserie in town.

United Arab EmiratesNothing has bothered me so far.
I like the cleanliness of the room, the staff were nice, there was a cafe on the first floor with breakfast on the menu as long as you go there before 11 AM. It's not far from the shops outside and some parks. There was only one laundry room to wash your clothes, it contained 2 washing machines & 2 dryers. You have to put coins or download an app to pay either with Google pay or credit card. The stay was nice so far and I enjoyed it with my friend.

NetherlandsSometimes the smell of the smoking room on the corridor was very strong. The hotel bar cocktails were not good which was unexpected for the appearance of a hotel like this.
We loved the location, slightly away from the mega touristy area but had lovely cafe and bar options nearby. The onsen was absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable beds. We loved the maiko performance.
