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...).

AustraliaI can easily hear different noises at night including moving furniture upstairs, water pipe noise etc. I had to wear ear plugs after the first night of my stay.
The hotel is clean and relatively new. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. All staff can speak english well and always provide help whenever I need it. You can walk to a nearby station within 5min. Just that those stations do not take you to the busiest part of Kyoto and also Kyoto station. Taxi from Kyoto station is 900-1000yen.

We had a family room, a lot of space with all needed appliances (kitchen, fridge, microwave, washing machine, etc.). Nice view to the river and quite area. Metro and bus 5-10 min walk.

GeorgiaMy stay at this hotel was simply delightful. The hotel is new, stylish, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were very kind and always ready to help. The location is convenient, and the breakfasts are simply superb! The rooms are spacious enough and very cozy. I would especially like to highlight the stylish Japanese-style pajamas provided by the hotel, which we absolutely fell in love with. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay!

United StatesThere really wasn't anything to complain about. Everything was great.
The staff was very helpful and polite. We arrived before our check-in time, and we were allowed to lock up our suitcases and leave them while we explored Kyoto. The breakfast was very clean and well staffed. We had a choice of salad, make your own pancakes, cereal, canned fruit, yogurt, cereal, bread/toast, croissants, boiled eggs, latte, cappuccino, juices (No miso soup though). The room was large enough for all 4 of us. The washing machine (soap was in the room) and drying room (in the shower room) allowed us to wash our laundry daily. A hanging rack in the room to hang our clothes. The bathroom had a bidet. The bidet was in a separate room from the sink and the shower. The kitchenette had everything we needed. The fridge was decent sized for a hotel. The hotel was near a mochiya and an arare store. We walked along the river to the train station. Good location. Quiet neighborhood. It was in a safe neighborhood. There is a rooftop lookout. I would definitely stay there again! Oh yeah, and popsicles in the afternoon/evening in the dining room area.

OMG, this hotel is perfect. There's a river in front of the property. The train stations are few minutes away. Walk 4 minutes you can have your coffee at Murmur Cafe. Free breakfast was offered consisting of fluffy pancakes. And free drinks and ice creams were offered at certain times of the day. The staff? They were polite and at the same time warm and friendly. We enjoyed our stay here. Look for Joe & Kumar. They were very efficient.

Italy- nothing, everything was perfect..
+ great location, in a quiet area but a few minutes walk from Gion and close to the Shichijō stop of the Keihan railways, which connects you with many places to visit, such as Fushimi Inari and Byodoin Temple in Uji. + comfortable room with well-stocked kitchen area. + simple but very good breakfast, really appreciated, especially the pancakes! + very friendly staff and everyone spoke excellent English. They were extremely helpful in assisting us with shipping our luggage to our next hotel in Tokyo. + beautiful common areas. You can see that the place has just been renovated and that they wanted to convey the atmosphere of Kyoto in every detail. It was a really pleasant stay.

CanadaThis was a fantastic room for a family of 4. The beds were large and comfortable. The entire apartment had a full kitchen, large bathroom, and laundry facilities. It is within 8 mins walk to several subway stations but we also walked to and from the main train statin in 16 mins. By foot we could also reach Gion easily and see some of the more famous shrines and areas that within the city. The river is agreat place to go for a run. The daily breakfast was tasty and a food way to start the day.
