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...).

I was lucky to book this hotel when the rates were low, but sometimes the prices can be very high; in the latter case I would recommend looking for better deals elsewhere. Also, it would've been nice to see the view from my room but many hotels in Japan, including this one, had heavy blurred translucent windows.
Just a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, the hotel is a wonderful space for a solo traveller. The sunlight coming into the room was superb, and all of the amenities within the room-- including a kitchenette, in-room washer and dryer, and a proper desk area-- made it feel like a small apartment area. It was a joy to stay in a room that felt so homey and cozy.

The bed was uncomfortable. I could feel springs poking through the mattress.
The room was small, but did not feel small with the kitchenette, washer/dryer, fridge, and desk. It was also well equipped for everything you would need for a short or even longer stay. The location was close to Kyoto St. Overall, I would stay again.

Bed is a thinner spring mattress that was alright but could hit the wrong spots with the springs. 30 min walk to get to large shopping districts and markets.
Quite close to Kyoto station, large temples, and a few bus stops. Has everything you'd need in the room! Has fridge, humidifier, ac, laundry in unit, bath, table, etc.

The room doesn’t sound proof, I heard the steps above us some nights. I have to separate the trash before dispose , it good to learn how to but it makes me feel a little bit pressure that I will do wrong🥲 Not 24 front desk, can’t leave the luggage when you check out.
Close to station, Yodobashi Camera, restaurant. Very quiet neighborhood .

Only major complaint is the wifi was sometimes very slow (I stayed in room 22). Another minor complaint was the TV is quite small but this is no issue at all. Another thing to look out for is you can't leave your bags there once you check out or if you arrive early before your check in time
It was spacious and good. Had everything you needed. I honestly never knew how good having a washing machine in your room would be until I experienced it here. Everything was great.

Never seen such a big manual for a stay at a hotel. We had to check it several times just to understand their trash sorting system. I know Kyoto takes their trash very seriously, but it was a bit much .. I mean it was like 40 pages manual ..
Location is good ,very close to Kyoto station . Washing machine is the biggest plus .

For me it was not an issue, but it may feel slightly cramped for two people.
This was one of my favourite accommodations in Japan, in what ended up to be my favourite city in Japan. :) The location is great, in a very quiet part of the city, but within walking distance (about 10-15’) to restaurants and bus stations. The room is equipped with everything you may need, including a washing machine! I thought that was extremely convenient. There is also a kitchenette that includes a microwave. Oh, there is a large mirror on the wall too, very handy. The bed was comfy, and big enough for 2 people. The balcony in my room (on 3rd floor) had nice views of the city.

Spaces in some corners were to tight. Garbage recycling is a nightmare. I don't mind the cleaning of the room, but for that price they could clean it everyday. Also the reception being at the entrance and only from 2 to 9. So you can't check in before 2 (actually the check in is at 4pm which I think is crazy!)
Apartament was small but cousy, I liked the wash machine with the cleaning products and bed very comfortable.
