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.).

PolandI wish that for this price we had a window in our room. There was only an emergency exit "balcony" with no view (fully boarded up).
Great location, close to many major Kyoto attractions. Convenience store and laundry place nearby.

IndonesiaThe placements for the tables and chairs in the room feels forced and blocking the ways, me and my partner had to arrange the layout around so we can have space to walk and put our suitcases. The window is so small and when you open there's no open view or any space, so it feels a little claustrophobic. The check-in process was a little strange, we have to do it at 3 PM sharp although the staff was there cleaning, we hoped we would be able to do the paperwork when we arrive and then come back later after 3 to take our luggages up, but as it wasn't possible, it felt awkward for us to leave for short walk and hurriedly come back to continue with the check in process.
The room is bright, clean, and cozy. The beds and pillows are comfortable although the blanket can be bigger. The bathroom is also very clean and spacious. I like the staff because they're very friendly, smiley, and very helpful, I can tell they all care about the guests. The water dispenser and self service amenities + towels in the lobby are very convenient. The location is also nice, only a few minutes walk to the river and many shops and restaurants around.

FranceLack of hooks or rails for towels in the bathroom. We had to put clothes and towels on the floor. No hook anywhere in the room. The stairs were locked and we asked to unlock them for security reasons it was denied. Not a very good experience!
Very clean renovated hotel. Very nice bathroom with more space than in other hotels. The location is quite central and quiet. Pity it could have been perfect!

AustraliaThe headboard area and corners of the room were really dusty. Room can be really cramped even just for two people but I guess that’s pretty common for accommodations in big cities.
Quiet location. You can change towels everyday. Easy check-in and out process. Umbrellas were available to use which was really helpful during our stay.

SpainThe hotel is a "guest house" and they don't have cleaning service during the stay, and for several days it is important to keep this in mind (you can take clean towels and leave the dirty ones at the hotel entrance). Some corners next to the bed needed a little more cleaning.
Modern and renovated hotel on a quiet street. The bathroom was big, the bed were comfortable and the room was spacious. Check in was at 3:00 p.m., but we were able to leave our suitcases in the hall with a chain and enjoy the city in the morning.

CanadaLoved everything except they have a strange policy that if you lose their key card you have to pay about $100US. Why? The card are worth less than $1 and can be reprogrammed. What's worse is they provide you with no proof that you returned the key card.
Great place except the key card issueI explain below.

United KingdomGood to know/fyi: this isn't a hotel. There is a front desk but no room cleaning, no laundry, no facilities in the building. You can get drinking water from the lobby & clean towels, too. Laundromat just down the block if you need it. No hooks to hang towels in the bathroom which was odd.
Good location, nice decor, clean and comfortable. Room was a decent size for Japan. We had a comfortable stay.
