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...).

PortugalSome noise from the pipes or ventilation through the night. Though, after spending the whole day out in the streets of Kyoto we were sleeping very deep so it didn't bother us too much.
We liked everything! It is a nice hotel with a great location, super nice and helpful staff and very clean. The breakfast is not buffet but it has some options and its delicious and big. There is coffee, tea, water and sake free to enjoy at any time of the day. Staff at the desk and in the bar are kind, sweet and professional. The double room was not big but perfectly enough for two people. Shower amazing! Cleaning service amazing. Location just 5 min from metro and 10 min from center.

GreeceWe were expecting a small room but having no storage option for the luggage (e.g. under the bed) minimizes the free space.

SingaporeThe air-conditioning was making some weird noises through the night and I wasn't sure how to fix it. That being said, i was still able to fall asleep.
Imu Hotel Kyoto was a true delight. The impeccably clean room and spacious bathroom made for a comfortable stay. The warm welcome upon arrival set the tone for a homely experience. The common lounge, which is a serene haven, provided a perfect spot to unwind. The complimentary coffee, tea, and hot water were a welcomed bonus. Its central location allowed easy access to the places and restaurants I wanted to explore. As anticipated from reviews, the breakfast was not only delicious but also excellent value for money. Overall, a thoroughly satisfying and wonderful experience.

JapanThe room is very small. So if you're two people and have large luggages, consider getting a bigger room.
Great location, walking distance from subway and bus stations, as well as Gion and major attractions. Clean. Friendly staff. Happy hour with different kinds of sake to try every day. They also run events (like matcha or Japanese sweets making workshops). Little indoors playground for kids, board games. Comfortable beds. Nice design and comfortable lobby to wind down in the evening.

United StatesI was fortunate to be on a quiet floor, but if your neighbor was loud the only way to manage it was with your room's air unit.
I enjoyed that breakfast was included and the staff was helpful in answering some questions. There is a cash exchange machine located at the front desk. My room was ideal for a single person. There were a few pillow options with the ability to swap out on every level. One reviewer noted it felt more like a hostel than hotel. I concur as Imu Hotel was bare bones, clean, and had good energy from the staff. Good affordable option in the area, but if you are looking for more amenities you'll have to spend more in Kyoto.
