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.).

TurkeyReception is on the 8th floor. The Standard tween Hollywood room was too small and had no view. There were very limited variety of tes/coffee available in the room. The taxi which we booked through the Reception did not show up.

United KingdomThe layout of the entrance vs the reception is very odd and could be better staffed and signposted. Kyoto itself is plesant but the tourists are quite annoying east of the canal. Unless you really like taking pictures of yourself in a kimono then a day seeing a temple or two is probably enough for many people .
Once I worked out that reception is on the 8th floor, my initial confused impression of the place improved. The hotel has spacious rooms for Japan and the level of luxury is very nice. The breakfast was also very nice. I would stay here again.

AustraliaThere was nothing we did not like.
Very clean property and great location. Very efficient check in and check out with small gift from hotel. On leaving the hotel in a snow storm - we needed a taxi to the station - and the hotel staff went to great lengths to help us - even walking us through the snow with umbrella so we did not get wet. Truly great service.

AustraliaThe TV and streaming options were buggy. We'd just come from a hotel with seamless streaming, probably because Netflix installed on the TV, and the Gate Hotel had a mirroring system which never really worked.
The location is great, lots of food and drink options in the immediate vicinity, public transport is nearby, and Gion's historic streets are at the doorstep. The big covered shopping district is a few minutes walk away, and there are shrines in the area. The top floor reception/bar had a great view. We loved it and would stay again.
