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 StatesThe breakfast can be better as it offered basically only one tiny sandwich & a drink (not even with an orange juice); and the front desk staff can be improved..

United KingdomHad a lovely stay here. No problems at all. The only small thing was that there was no kettle in the room so no way of making hot water. You had to go down to lobby area to get hot water in a paper cup from a thermos kettle and then take back to your room. Quite inconvenient really. Other than this, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

BrazilThe hotel is brand new, the rooms are great and the location is very convenient (close to a metro station, railway to Arashiyama and near a lot of Bus Stops). We were there in late February and some days we came back to the hotel to drop off the things we bought or to change clothes and it was really convenient to do so with so many options of public transportation. The only downside is the breakfast (you get to choose between 2 types of sandwiches (chicken or egg) water, japenese tea or black coffee, but since is free, you shouldn’t complain lol (and you have a 7-11 just across the street and a Family Mart near as well) The price was really affordable and we would definitely stay at it again. PS: we got the standard room and it was more than enough to fit us, 4 big suitcases + 2 carry ons.

ArgentinaIt’s a modern-style hotel with rooms that are slightly larger than the typical size in Japan—very clean, with a spacious and comfortable lobby. A simple breakfast is provided (a sandwich and coffee or tea), which does the job. There are lockers available to store your luggage if you arrive early, as check-in is strictly at 3:00 p.m. The hotel is located on an avenue about 1 km from Kyoto’s main shopping area, but it’s an easy walk back and forth. Alternatively, you can take a bus just a few meters away, including to other attractions like the castle or the bamboo forest. It’s surrounded by convenience stores and dining options.

Singaporewe didn't know that eating outside food at the cafe area wasn't allowed as we didn't see the small signboard that indicated it. we thought since the cafe was closed at night, hotel guests could use it so we went down and wanted to have our supper there but was very unfriendly chased away by this lady staff with short hair wearing glasses. maybe cause she was on night shift so she was grumpy but we would have appreciated if she could have told us nicely as we didn't know at all. after she chased us away, she grumpily took away the hot water kettle at the lobby too as we used it to cook our instant noodles before getting chased away by her. i don't think it was very nice of her to show such attitude to hotel guests even if she wasn't in a good mood. all the other staff we interacted with were super nice and helpful so having such an experience definitely did affect our impression of their customer service
we got the booking at a super cheap price so we set our expectations accordingly but our experience exceeded our expectations! the hotel seemed quite new and location is good too, it's near a train station and there are straight buses from the kamo river area where many tourists would explore. i wouldn't say the room is very spacious but it's just right for 2 people to stay. the beds are big and very comfy too! liked that the toilet was separate from the shower so we can each do our own thing conveniently. there was free breakfast served everyday too! although not super grand but it's good enough for a free breakfast, we got to choose from 3 different sandwiches and we get a drink as well as a small dessert (eg. apple jelly, yoghurt etc). we also liked that we could store our luggages in the lockers behind the check in area, super convenient before check in and after check out as we don't have to lug them around when getting around! overall, super duper value for money and would come back again if i'm in kyoto!

AustraliaI really missed a kettle being supplied in the room. There was a small fridge but no tea & coffee making facility in the room. There was a hot water urn in the foyer but often needed to ask for it to be topped up. Laundry only had 3 machines for the whole hotel (one was out of order during my visit). They were combined washer/dryer units.
Room was spacious compared to the Japanese Hotel norm. Bed & pillows were the softest I experienced this visit (stayed in 5 hotels). Room was very clean and well designed. Location was good. Light breakfast that was supplied was adequate and fresh.
