Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The accommodation gives more of a 'hostel vibe' rather than a hotel; there are lots of rules everywhere (no check in after 9pm, no luggage storage, no check out after 10am, do not turn off the bathroom ventilation, don't use the AC to hang your clothes... and so on). I imagine it is a consequence of having had to deal with disrespectful tourists in the past, but if you want to feel a little 'spoiled' and taken care of, then it might not be the vibe you are looking for.
Very well located hotel, at a walking distance from the Kyoto station and not too far from the more touristic area. The bedrooms are spacious, with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom for a very convenient price.

It was very much self-service. If you are staying longer, they won't clean your room for you. You change your sheets and clean your room. The dryers are very small and take a long time to dry the clothes as most of the washers don't have a spin dry function.
There was free self-service laundry. It is close to a couple of good ramen restaurants, and there was a convenience store around the corner. Not too far from the kyoto station--about 15-18mins walk. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. I appreciated it very much!

Written instructions, especially for checkout, felt quite curt and not very pleasant - honestly not something I care about, but some might. The staff themselves were lovely and polite though.
Very low cost, quiet and convenient location, amenities provided including washer and dryer and detailed instructions in both pdf and printed form.

The water in the shower was warm but wasn't that warm I would like it to be. But it was still alright.
It is located close to the Kyoto station, the night live is a little further though (but you can still get there walking or taking a public transport). The room was private and quiet with a very comfortable bed. There was tea and coffeee and a kettle pot and a fridge and a microwave directly in the room. The receptionist were nice and communication very smooth.

I stayed at the hotel for two nights and was very satisfied during this time. The hotel's location was close to the station and the center, so I could easily get to other places. My room was very comfortable and clean, it was very favorable to have appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave, where I could easily prepare my food. There is also a laundry room where you can wash your clothes for free. In general, it was a place that I liked to stay for my short-term trip.

Amazing deal for the money, position is quite central in Kyoto very close to the station and the main attractions. Overall the room was nice, the bathroom was ok. Washing machines are free to use! (unbeatable)

The bed was too soft, too many rules on how to do everything, notes everywhere, you can’t simply relax and need to worry if you sorted the rubbish correctly. Fines (at least as it was written in the book) for almost everything
Good room, ability to have tea or coffee at any time, use the washing machine - feels like it’s not a hotel, but mostly an apartment block
