How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It is a guesthouse in Japan so expect tight space in the hall way. Shockingly no bidet but it was clean
Location, close to train station to/from Narita airport. Secluded enough from noise. There a convenient store around the corner. Big kitchen area though small lounge room. Wifi works well from capaule. Bathroom only one upstairs but its clean

The walk to the hostel can be a bit longer depending on the public transport options available, which still is only 15 minutes but something to consider depending on how exhausted you are. Keep in mind the stairs are quite steep for super heavy luggage.
Nomad hostel was a lovely place to stay, staff were kind and helpful on check in, all needed facilities were provided with showers, kitchen, dining area etc. Showers were clean with good pressure and hot water. The area of asakusa was lovely and my favourite of the districts I visited, the shrine and Tokyo sky tree are close by, while also being a nice quiet area where the hostel is located. The bed in my single room was comfy and the heater worked well. The overall vibes of the place were calm and comforting, filled with lots of love. It also gets cleaned every day. Would highly recommend.

The staircase was very steep and narrow. If you have big and/or heavy luggage, then it will get quite difficult to get it up. It's also a bit tricky getting up and down, you just have to be careful. But it's not too bad.
I really liked the location. It was located in a really beautiful and peaceful area. The hostel was clean, staff was friendly and the bed capsule was great. The common room is a great place to meet new people. The toilets and showers were clean. I would definitely go back there again!

Staff is really nice and helpful. Such a nice place to stay. Clean, towel and sleepers are furnished. The kitchen is well furnished too, so you can cook your own meal. And the kitchen is the perfect place to meet people from everywhere also Japanese. Bed are really comfy. 3 showers and many toilets. So no wait for taking shower. Only 15 minutes walk to Asakusa. I really recommend this place. I should have booked more nights. Thank you.

The staff were so nice and helpful, it is a bit of a trip to Shibuya but the area is nice and quiet with the food store and laundry mat very close by. The people staying there were nice and respectful, I definitely recommend staying here. I also had enough room in my bunk to keep my suitcase in there with me.

The hostel was still a 8-12 minute walk to the nearest station, which wasn’t a problem for me but is worth considering. The nature of the stay is very traditional in terms of the building (wooden, thin walls), so if you’re a light sleeper then this may be an issue for you.
The staff were really helpful and insightful, and just generally a joy to be around. The kitchen facilities were the best I’ve seen in a hostel, easy to make all types of meals and enough space for people to use the area. Real, homely feel to the stay. Would stay again!

The building was old so doors, floors and stairs were creaking a lot. But they made sure everyone was respectful and quiet in the bedroom area.
Great location and lovely and quiet neighbourhood. It was a 10 min walk from the nearest station. Very comfy beds and clean environment. Staff was incredible and very helpful!

Small and simple hostel in an old house in a quiet street close to Asakusa. People that work there are friendly and ready to help if you need it. Everything super clean. Next time in Kyoto I'll be back here for sure.
