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.).

AustraliaAll the conveniences you could need. Everything was great but the toilet stunk of raw sewerage (we had to keep the exhaust fan on an door closed. Management there was also a dampness coming from under the vanity ... perhaps the source of the stunk?) and I felt the bed springs through the mattress. Otherwise perfect.

United StatesNothing. This place was great!
This was the first "real" hotel my cousin and I stayed at while in Japan (others being Hostels and Capsule Hotels), so this felt like we were staying at a palace. It was great to have a shower and washer/dryer in our room. The beds were very comfortable. The hotel staff was also very friendly and accommodating; they even helped me locate a water bottle that I thought I had lost and held it for me to pick up later. The area was also very nice; we were able to walk to most of the places we wanted to visit while in Kyoto.

JapanWe stayed in JP INN Kyoto for 3 days. We were very impressed to the attention to detail information the staff provided in their binder, we were able to learn proper etiquettes during our stay. The room we stayed at had everything a regular hotel would have, perhaps even more! The linens, towels and our bedding were very clean and from the moment we walked in to our room, we felt very delighted that our room was well kept. The location was also very accommodating, just a short walk, less than 10 min or a quick taxi ride. Plenty of restaurants and cobini stores around the area and one of the best location if you want to tour Kyoto. Highly, highly recommend. We will definitely look into booking at JP INN in the near future when we visit Kyoto again!

JapanThe sheets had some stains and there were some bugs in the room (probably because they air out the rooms by opening the window). The rooms were extremely dry too but that was probably due to it being winter.
Large room with a laundry machine in the room. It also offered many amenities and was a great location for the price

HungaryI got a very long email in a quite frigthening style about recycling, and check-in, but in real life the staff very friendly, and the recycling was not as scary as in the document, and the staff was happy to help in everything. It's not possible to check in after 9pm. The drier function of the washing machine is weak. Based on the pictures I expected a tiny kitchen corner with plates, pans, cutleries, microwaves, and a cooktop, but I'm not sure if it was my mistake to book a room without a kitchen corner , or the booking was changed without my knowledge. At the end I wasn't unhappy because of the lack of the kitchen corner. They don't store luggages.
The apartman is very spacious compared to japanese standards. Everything was clean. It's ten minutes walk from the train station. My room had a kettle, a microwave (however no plates or cutleries, so I did not use it), a washing machine (that I didn't use, as the staff told me the dryer function is very weak), a small desk, a double bed, and a very spacious bathroom with both tub and shower. Unlimited complementary tea and coffe is provided. Everything was clean. There is no cleaning during your stay, but you can use a hoover, and grab new towels or other amenities at the reception any time. My room had a street view, wich was lovely and silent. The house is in a more traditional street. There is a konbinin 4 mins walk, and many izakayas and restaurants in 10 mins walk. Overall I recommend this accomodation even for longer stays :)

AustraliaThere was something protruding (like bed spring) in the bed. Also there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom rm 307. You can smell it as soon as you open the entrance door. I tried cleaning the toilet to get rid of it but obviously it’s coming from somewhere.
They have everything you would need. Washing machine, fridge, hangers, humidifier, even lint roller. You can pick up tea/coffee sachet in reception and extra towels if needed.

Hong KongThe only thing I could complain of is that the bath wasn’t that clean, I had to rinse it down a few times before the water didn’t look murky.
Very comfortable when considering its price. I’ve stayed at a nearby hotel that cost almost double but offers similar if not worse options. The staff was helpful too, and took their time to explain their house rules, in addition to rules that are unique to Kyoto. Would definitely recommend.

United StatesThe location was further than I normally like from the Kyoto Station. There was some luggage storage prior to check-in but in a very limited window. There were so many rules about trash! It was a bit frustrating..
I booked this room to get access to the washer and we definitely used it a lot. Included a binder of instructions for everything in both English and Japanese.

United StatesThe only part that gave me some anxiety was the trash system; there were several separate trash receptacles for different types of trash, and several pages of the book were dedicated to their sorting. Ultimately I was a bit confused by the different types of plastic and how they were to be classified. We did our best with it but it did require some extra effort to make sure we were complying with the rules best we could. Ultimately though I believe these rules are due to the city regulation, and the hotel being surrounded by residential housing. I get the impression that not sorting the trash and loud guests get complaints and trouble from the city & neighbors. Ultimately just be respectful and do your best to keep trash to a minimum and it’s a great spot!
Quiet, Clean, a brief walk from Kyoto Station. The personal washing machine was a huge plus. Was worried about not having a dryer but the built in dehumidifier in the bathroom did the job perfectly. As others have stated there is a large book of rules, however the host who checked us in summed it up nicely though, no parties, don’t yell, be respectful while in and around the hotel. Easy enough.
