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...).

IsraelAmazing hostel & workers ♥️ 4 people in a pretty large room for an hotel, there’s a full size mirror in the bedroom, a very nice kitchen, a washing machine (100¥ per use) and a drying machine. Great WiFi, a small locker & mirror in each bed. The location was good, close to the Tsutenkaku and 20 min’ walking from DOTONBORI and Namba the crowded & full of life areas. Close to a metro station. And there’s a rooftop! You can hang your wet close there and see the Tsutenkaku! There’s only 1 shower and 3 toilets so take that into consideration. But it was ok and I didn’t feel any pressure as there aren’t many guests. Thank you :))

United KingdomThe staff here were amazing. Such a great atmosphere and in a great location if you want to have lots of fun. Didn't want to leave and when I did I was heartbroken.. Will definitely try to stay here again if I ever come back to Osaka and when that happens I hope the place hasn't changed a bit! (Also bonus points for the slide)

The hostel is well located (in a cool part of town, not necessarily the ‘centre’ though), the staff were so friendly, the coffee is 10/10, and the vibes in the communal space are wonderful. Could’ve just stayed here all day!

Everything! The vibe is so cute and artsy, it's safe with both the hostel and the room having lock codes. The people are so lovely and the lounging spaces are gorgeous. Location is great, right in the middle of shinsekai but I did not hear any disrupting noise! Everyone was super respectful and I had lovely chats with the staff and other guests, I loved the cafe open til 9 on the bottom floor. You can tell everyone there takes care of the place and loves it.

United StatesBeds could have been a little bit comfier. Besides that, no complaints.
Cute hostel with a lot of personality. Extraordinarily friendly staff (We mainly spoke with Hiro and Kae who were both fantastic and knowledgeable). Beds were a little hard for my preference, but it is Japanese. If I am ever in Osaka, I will be at the Pax Hostel.

United StatesIt's the place to be if you're traveling to Osaka. It's conveniently located a stone's throw from the Tsutenkaku and Shinsekai. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and a super social atmosphere. Shout out to the amazing staff! They made my stay very memorable. I wish them all the best and I highly recommend staying here.
