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.).

Bosnia and HerzegovinaIn the same area there are a few hotels with the same name, so be careful and check the adress at Google Maps, not only name of the hotel 😁
Location was great, walking distance from main Streets, and close to Kyoto station for some of the bigger shrines, and turist attractions. Room was very spatious, and it was a surprise beacause we expected tiny rooms in Japan. Room had everything you might need. Staff at the reception was great

United Kingdomnothing we had a great stay.
This is tucked away in a densely packed residential area, quite tricky to find initially. It is a great stay, 5 minute walk from an amazing temple and several bus routes. 15 minute walk from the main station. We loved that the laundry service was free for residents.

NetherlandsWhere to start? First of all, we arrived around noon by taxi and saw a sign with closed. That was an unpleasant surprise. A other guest explained us that we couldn’t check in until 4 pm and we couldn’t leave our bags as well. Luckily the taxi driver was still there, because it is a very quiet place without any taxis or metro/bus nearby. We went back to the station and dropped our luggage there, which was a bit hard to find a free spot. Around 2pm we got a message that we could check in. We tried to collect our luggage asap, but we were lost in the station. After 1 hour of looking for our luggage we found it. Back to the hotel by taxi, because it is not very nice to walk 20 minutes with luggage (and of course again big lines at the taxi stand). The check in wasn’t quick, because the receptionist had to explain a whole booklet of rules and regulations. Basically you aren’t allowed to do anything at the hotel, they will kick you out without a warning. A lot of warnings are written on papers which hang in the elevator, room and hall. WiFi wasn’t working at all. Toilet was dirty, some leftovers from other guests. There was no service at all, we had to pick own towels, which they provide in plastic (creating additional unnecessary waste). We would love have given this feedback f2f at the reception, but after check in, we didn’t saw any receptionist. We didn’t like the neighborhood either, no restaurants nearby and no metro nearby. Station Kyoto 20 minutes walking distance. Poorest hotel we have stayed in Japan (we stayed at 10 hotels during our trip).
The size of the room is nice. There was a fridge and microwave. Bed was ok for us too.

MexicoToo much rules (37 pages of a manual they provide you after your booking) and they did not clean the room. Which is something they will not tell you before you book your stay.
The bed was comfortable and the sight from the balcony was also nice (not surrounded by buildings).

I love how the place was well maintained, how the staff explained all the house rules which we found great so the guests will enjoy their stay peacefullty.

IrelandBeing the most expensive accommodation on our three week long travel through Japan, I was expecting a bit more. The self service is taken to the extreme. It took me half an hour to go through the booklet with all the rules of the stay. The walls had no insulation so we could hear everything the neighbour was doing... Needless to say it was very awkward and unpleasant. The room was furnished with old furniture and a full size fridge, which is loud, especially during the night. Also, the bathroom was very small.
Relatively spacious room for Japanese standards.

CyprusThe mattress was so bad that you couldn’t sleep and relax 100%. The soundproof also was bad. If someone walk, talk or do anything, in one of other floors, you could definitely hear them and wake up like it is in your own room. The actual time from the hotel to kyoto station is 20’ and not 15’. The room had a horrible smell, I don’t even know how to describe it. And also the room was full of humidity. Bath was too small, even for me (as a girl). In total, unfortunately i would definitely not recommend it to anyone…
The total cost.
