Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaSpotlessly clean, very spacious, well-appointed room that was excellent value for money. The bathroom was fabulous, with a separate toilet, basin, and washing area. One of the best hotel bathrooms ever and I have experienced a lot! Excellent water pressure, lots of hot water and best of all, space. I loved it. The bed was comfortable, the room was incredibly quiet and I appreciated the kettle and fridge. The tatami seating area was a lovely addition though I didn't really have time to sit there. The hotel's location between two different train lines, near the Nishiki markets and with cafes, restaurants and shops in the lovely little streets surrounding it, made it a very convenient place to stay. My sister recommended it to me and I have already recommended to others. A lovely place to stay!

TaiwanIf there is a actual chair in the room, it would be nice.
The location is great. The bathroom and restroom are great too. The room is huge with tatami area and twin beds. As a person who had a back surgery before, I do need to sleep on a bed that is supportive and somewhat hard and firm yet soft and comfy on its cover. The beds in the hotel are a bit too soft for my taste. When I lied on the bed, I could feel the support of the bed. However, when I wanted to get up or move on the bed, I could feel the support was gone. It's just another point of view to the bed from my personal experience, and it's just my taste of the bed. In general, the beds are still expectational.

IndiaWe stayed at Tabist Kiki hotel for 2 nights and it was our best experience in terms of the size of room given that hotel rooms are small in most of the cities in Japan. Also, it’s very close to Nishiki fish market and the old town Kyoto. So basically most of the things are in walking distance.

United KingdomFree refills of coffee pods or a new pod each day would have been a nice touch - shame you had to pay for these. Our room was right by a street light that came through the blinds. Only one washing machine for the whole hotel, each time we went to use it it was in use.
Lovely hotel - very comfortable beds and spacious room with a japanese style mat seating area in our twin room. Great facilities and amazing shower!
