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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThe internet in the room was mostly unusable There was no safety deposit box available, even for hire There is absolutely no storage in the room and nowhere to even put the luggage - this became quite difficult after 4 nights. I would suggest installing some shelves/ a small wardrobe.
Very clean, very good breakfast. Enjoyed the free coffee and sake and the happy hour cocktails in the bar.

The breakfast was amazing. They provided several options including vegetarian. Luggage storage was also possible before check-in and after check-out. Staff was really nice. Cool and modern design.

United StatesExcellent value for what you pay for. Great breakfast, all vegetarian. The location was very central for getting to all sides of Kyoto which was a good thing on the whole. However, it's not right by any one thing so you'll have to use transit. The room is bare bones and a tad on the small side, but again a great value.

CanadaWe need a little bit more room for our luggage because we did not want to put our suitcase on the mats and damage them.
The room is very clean, the beds on the master, very comfortable, and the quilts were exceptional. Nice air-conditioning in the room, just a little challenge with room for luggage. It was manageable, but a little tight. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

AustraliaVery modern and clean, they are conscious about the environment and avoid overusing ustensiles and plastic. There is also free sake to test and the 3 of them were really good during our stay (they rotate the selection). I’ll definitely try to go back again next time!

PolandThe hotel is fabulous. We slept in Japanize style room with tatami . The room was clean and big. The Staff is great. The breakfast is fantastic! They have welcome sake drink every day and night. They provide some extra lesson in the mail hall in the evening for example calligraphy. Caffe , tea and water is for free in the main hall. There is very tourist friendly atmosphere, very modern and Japanese style, cleanness and necessary. The location is great - close to underground/metro station and bus stop - 10 min to Kyoto attractions. Lots of restaurants and bar in close surroundings I felt like I never want to leave this place and I prolonged my stay 2 times. I would come back to this hotel with big pleasure.

Excellent. I like the location. The hotel design is minimal and clean. Very comfortable lobby with seatings for chilling out. Free wifi. Extra pillows are available on every floor. Bathroom is spacious. Breakfast was delicious. Hotel is also very responsive when I messaged them. They were helpful with my lunch reservations and luggage forwarding service. I enjoyed my stay here. It’s a very comfortable stay.

FranceWe were not fond of the breakfast, but that's just our Westerner's tastes, nothing to do with the quality of the ingredients.
The location and architecture of the place makes this hotel a fantastic choice. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children and really liked the tatamis family room option. The bathroom was extremely clean and modern.
