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...).

IndonesiaIt is not exactly that close to the station, though it is still a walking distance (It is not far, but not that close either). However, there is a bus stop no 205 very close to the end of the alley, so if you get tired, I guess you could take the bus from the train station.
I love how complete the facilities are. You got a kitchen, toaster oven, microwave, fridge, even a washing machine. It is such a game changer. The size is pretty compact but since we came with backpacks, we have no issue with the room size. I love the fact that we could do our laundy conveniently. There are also some convenience stores nearby if you need to stock some foods. There's a vending machine just outside the building. I also love that the building is in the residence area, so it is pretty quiet.

SpainThere would occasionally be a weird smell in the room. I was guessing it came from the sewerage system. Minor detail though.
Best place I stayed in during my two weeks in Japan, absolutely loved it. Very quiet with a bed so comfortable it was hard getting up in the morning. Also found it very affordable (I only paid 75€ for three nights but think I got a last minute special offer due to the low season). Don’t hesitate to book this!

AustraliaThe bathroom tap is the same as the shower/bath tap so 2 people can't use both sinultaneously. The fridge sometimes sounds like there is a monkey inside. Running the air purifyer at night is good, but the lights from the top of the machine are very bright when trying to sleep at night. Walls seem thin, so can easily hear others in neighboring rooms and corridor.
Location, can walk from Kyoto station. And value for money, has everything we need for a multi day stay. Quiet traditional style neighbourhood, yet close enough on foot to the metro area where you can shop like crazy at Yodobashi Camera. I liked staying on the 4th floor and balcony to allow some fresh air. I liked having the fridge, washing machine, folding dining table and Murphy bed to help make the place feel like a small home.

Amazing stay!! We were super happy with everything. This apartment for the price is great. Having the washing machine with washing detergent included was such a great benefit. Would 100% recommend and if we ever came back to Kyoto we would definitely stay again.

Its price, facilities, location, quietness, and cleaness. Less than 10mins walk from Kyoto Station. There's everything you need in the room, a small kitchen with the frying pan, stove, utensils, pepper salt and oil, the best is there is a washing and drying machine. Overall, it's an excellent experience staying in this Inn.

United StatesGuest need time to drop off luggage at the entrance during check-in, as well as loading luggage into a vehicle during check-out. Initially, there was a lack of understanding from hotel staff, after discussion the issue was resolved.
Despite parking issue due to the property being located in a narrow street, the JP INN Kyoto Ekimae Izutsucho was clean, well maintained and featured all the items both solo and group travelers would need for a stay.

United StatesThe bathroom fan always has to be on which might be disruptive to some.
This was our second time staying at this location. We dont mind the walk to the more popular areas which is 30 minutes if you have decent walking speed. Very cute quiet neighborhood. Close to Kyoto station and shopping area near the station. Check in and check out has always worked for us but it might not for others. The room is super clean and well appointed. The washer in our room was so helpful after traveling around for over a week. We also go the room with a small kitchen this time which was excellent for making things on a small stove and toasting things as opposed to just microwaving. Next time, we would stay here again!

United StatesIt was perfect! First the rate… GREAT PRICE for the … Location very near to the big train station and buses… (8 minutes walk)no way you’re going to get lost here. They will send you a txt after booking kind of weird, but don’t worry bottom line they respect times; cking IN/OUT on rhe times they said. They are PLENTY of lockers near them where you can store your suitcases 🧳. It is self service they have all supplies by reception, it was PERFECT for me bc I don’t like people in my room. They have good coffee and a kitchenette. The room hd enough space for me (solo trip) and the washer/dryer was a plus! It’s included! People in Kyoto like in all JN are polite enough to assist you if they can understand you (download a translation app recommended) however they aren’t very friendly, maybe because the language barrier.

Great location, close to station. (Approx 10 min walk). Extremely clean. LOTS of amenities. A really great set up. Room was a good size compared with others and it gave us everything that we could possibly ever need!
