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.).

South AfricaThe bedsheets, pillows and other beddings were not replenished or replaces before my stay. the pillows and bedsheet were used for the previous guests so they were smelling with sweat and saliva on the pillows. The next day I asked the cleaner and the receptionist to replace the beddings. It was still not done despite their promise they will attend to the matter. Only after I caused a stir and blew a tantrum did the Manager himself replaced the beddings.
The location was convenient.

AustraliaBed was pretty uncomfortable and there was no curtains or blinds so at night the room was extremely bright from ambient street light, we didn’t sleep well at this accomodation.
Clean rooms with everything you need and decent amount of space for big bags. Location suited us well, walking distance to main areas for shopping, food and bars.

It's a very nice hotel with good interior design, very clean, and walking distance to tourist spots. Also walking distance to cafes like Starbucks and Tully's and Japanese restos. It has a beautiful wine bar at the ground floor where you can relax. I like that the room also has a spray to refresh clothes and the smell of the room.

South AfricaI think the staff could brush up on their English since every guest I saw in the hotel was a foreigner. I found communicating with the staff challenging. They are all very kind, though.
I loved this hotel. The location was perfect, walking distance from everything to see in Gion. The room had everything a tourist found possibly need. Highly recommended.

Indonesiathe room was so small and VERY dusty causing a reaction to my face. initially i thought the air purifier in the room was just a cute addition, turns out it NEEDS to be there because that small room was insanely dusty and not clean. i sat down in front of the body length mirror and it might have caused the dust and bacteria from the carpet to go everywhere or something – because suddenly my entire face reacted and there were like bumps all over my skin? it was on a really important day too, and it was sadly ruined. they also never clean your bed, i understand if they do not change the sheets, but god they do not even tidy it up. they just leave it a mess as it is. there is also so little surface space, i struggled to have a space to place my items.
good location very close to gion, easy to wake up early and explore the popular spots before it gets crowded at 9 am. close to stations, everything a walk away.
