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.).

AustraliaPerhaps a drink refill at breakfast would be nice, otherwise the included breakfast was appreciated.
Everything was great for the price point! I couldn't fault our stay. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. Super clean and new. Their amenities counter, including toiletries, was well stocked. Water bottles available for each night. Good sound proofing even though we were near the elevators. The Shijo Omiya location was super convenient to access the Randen tramway, Hankyu line, and many city buses service this area. Lots of local eateries that weren't tourist traps, even though it's just 2 km from the busy Shijo-Gion area, Nishiki Market, Pontocho, Gion, etc. McDonalds is a 2 min walk for those who really need it. For those wanting a local sento, Gokoyu is a 900m walk away. The 12 min walk along quiet streets showcases how locals live - some homes are tiny!

Australiai was very disappointed with the breakfast, I stayed at this hotel last year and the breakfast was amazing, this was mostly why I chose this hotel again this year. The breakfast this time was possibly the worst food I've eaten anywhere which was very disappointing. I probably would not stay here again.

NetherlandsThe room has a window that cannot be open, but also you cannot see outside because it is made out of frosted glass. That part of the hotel is very close to the next building, but my floor was higher than the other building, so it could have been kept with normal glass. Breakfast is really poor, but I appreciate that they make the effort to offer this complimentary breakfast. And the coffee is very good

AustraliaThe complimentary breakfast was very basic but considering it’s free, we can’t really complain.
The room was so much larger than we expected. My partner and I could both have our suitcases open on the floors at all times. The bed was comfortable and overall the apartment was very clean. It was also very quiet. The bathroom is nice and we had daily housekeeping without needing to ask. The TV allowed us to watch Netflix which we could connect our personal account to. We arrived earlier than check in time and they have a really easy to use locker system which fits large suitcases so you can leave them and collect later. The hotel is also close to bus and train stations. Possibly our favourite hotel stay of our trip!

United KingdomI may have got lucky with the price at the time so I'd say very good value for money especially since I booked quite short notice only a few days before checking in as prior accommodation I had booked needed to be cancelled for personal reasons. The hotel was ideally located if you're wanting a little bit more of a chill vibe but still want to be close to the "central parts" of Kyoto. The hotel room was nice, clean, and spacious. The beds and pillows were great, had plenty of room to move about and really appreciated the table and stools to have a comfortable place to snack and keep all the mandatory conbini snacks bought at the end of the day. Love that the hotel had it's on dedicated laundry room and vending machines for guests, quality of life facilities really make the stay more comfortable. Again location wise it was perfect for us, 25-30 mins on bus from Kyoto station, 25-30 mins walk to Kawaramachi shopping district.

Complimentary breakfast was nice with a nice sandwich and coffee every morning. You can leave your luggage if you arrive early- they have storage in the back. The bed was comfy, the room was nice enough/ just a bit simple.
