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.).

United KingdomI reserved a single room. It was comfortable enough bunk bed setup in a small concrete room, not great value for the price but then its not really the main reason you choose to stay here. It's a quiet residential area but well served with transport links and has the Sensoji temple nearby. Provides a nice counterpoint vs staying in say the madness of Shibuya, so I would rate this as a positive, but if you're a mad crazy party animal that only wants uptime, stay elsewhere. For everyone's sake
The refined and well stocked bar, the cafe with the flower shop set up inside providing decor but also a sense of community. As such the ground floor area intermixing these elements draws locals and travellers alike, and provides a cool ambience to while away time, meet new people or simply enjoy the great food and drink. It feels pretty novel in this sense and a much more holistic experience than a hotel or travellers only hostel. Staff are excellent

New ZealandThe cafe/bar is really cool, slightly expensive but really stylish; the food is great and the drinks are very well-made and well-poured. There's a rooftop and an outdoor area for smoking, and there's a common area with a good kitchen and laundry facilities (100 yen per use) on the 6th floor. There are lockers free to use in the dorm rooms but you'll need your own padlock. The beds are relatively comfortable in a bunk-bed (as opposed to capsule) style with curtains that are ok for blocking the light.

AustraliaOne day when I was at the cafe some of the staff said me that I couldn't be there because the space was for guests. But this happened only 1 time in 6 days of staying.
The location is great, the hostel is really nice in terms of design. You can also meet heaps of local if you speak japanese as on the ground floor they have a cafe. Bed is comfortable and shower is good.

AustraliaThe location is not very good if you want to stay near Shibuya area or similar. 30 minutes by train, but the train station is a 7-minute walk from the hostel.
The hostel is very clean, the bathrooms are the best part of the hostel to be honest, Japan standard haha. Friendly staff and nice bar inside the hostel, which is great to make some friends around

United StatesThere were almost too many locals in the lobby it made it hard to meet other travelers
This place slaps. It has that perfectly chill and grungy hostel feel while still being super safe, secure, nice, and full of amenities. The lobby cafe food is so good and so popular with even the locals they were shooting a commercial for local tv one day I was there. The rooftop has an amazing view of the canal and the sky tree. Close to a lot of cool things. Kappabashi kitchen street, sensoji temple, short ride to Ginza or Akihabara.

SpainThe price is a little bit higher than usual, and the bar below is what I would say is pricey, expect to pay 600 yen for your coffee and probably 2000 yen if you go for a course and a drink. However, nobody is making you go there, so it's up to you. It's a great add on to a hostel.
The common areas seem taken out of a pinterest picture. The upper floor holds a very nice kitchen and common room to work, chill, study or meet people. Very convenient for those seeking some time for themselves. There is an iMAC to work on. Plenty of bathrooms, and showers on every single floor. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. The first floor, which is restaurant/bar, is a great area to meet local people and foreigners.
