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.).

The rooms were very small. No staff available for check in. However the manager was always available for questions which was great.
The hotel is very conveniently located near a major train station. There is a shopping area close by and lots of restaurants. There also was always some kind of event taking place during the weekend which was nice.

I wish the rooms were cleaner and better maintained. I also wish I had known about the communal area sooner. A leaflet with information for our stay would have been helpful.
The location was perfect for what we needed. It was a quiet area and close to the train and amenities. It also had laundry facilities and a communal area, but we didn't know these were there until 2 days into our stay.

- It wasn’t clean at all - Bed was kinda uncomfortable (but if you’re used to sleep on a hard mattress it’s okay and you get used to it) - very noise neighbours
Overall you get what you pay. There is no reception but the check-in was easy (you get the room number and the pin for it at 3 p). The location of the hotel is super comfortable and near Otsuka Station (JR Line). Every local we met told us we choose a good location to stay and travel easy through Tokyo. They’re right!

The shower heater take very long time to heat up (2~3mins at least). Need to let water run for a while before it get heated up. Wasting of precious water.
The bed was big enough for a family of 4.

No light by the bed, so I had to turn off the light at the entrance door and climb up the ladder to get to the bed in the dark. It can be dangerous to navigate as I almost fell. Small light by the bed is a must-have! A chair I sat on in the kitchen was broken. The kitchen table was not very clean, but I guess that depends on the guests.
Pretty close to the station, restaurants, and supermarkets. Very convenient location. Clean bathroom and toilet in the room. I couldn't hear my neighbors next door. It was quiet after 10 pm. A mini fridge in the room during the super hot summer helps.

There is no reception it’s self check in and there is barely no way to get in touch with the owner. The emergency number doesn’t work.
The location is ideal. 5min away from Otsuka metro station with the JY line taking you to all the main attractions. Room is clean, comfy and with a well secured door.

I had a room with bunk beds. Which I knew so it was my mistake, being on top bunk was slightly challenging but once up it was great! Honestly no complaints aside me hurting my back due to being on top bunk which was my fault. WiFi could be a bit spoty sometimes tho however since all the travelling we did it was not a problem.
Location is great. Very close to the train station, a 7 11, and many small food places. As well as a 25 minute walk from Ikebukuro which is amazing. Basically no staff check in on tablet which is nice since no pressure of trying to understand each other and the price is great. With good facilities.

The hotel’s location is super convenient, just a short walk from the subway station, making it easy to get around. There are lots of convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so finding food is no problem. The self-check-in was quick and easy, and the room was fully equipped with everything I needed. For the price, it’s definitely great value. Overall, a nice and hassle-free stay!
