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...).

CanadaThis one isn't about the hotel itself but about other guests, there were many teenagers being very noisy and leaving messes in the bathroom. As for the hotel itself, some of the shower heads weren't working properly, but aside from that everything was fine.
The location was excellent, walking distance to many attractions and malls as well as in very close proximity to multiple train stations, also walking distance. This made sightseeing very easy. The hotel itself is very cozy and welcoming. I quite liked the lounge, shower room was very clean and nicely lit. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The cleanliness in the showers and restrooms was exceptional. We have four bunk beds in a room. All spacious and so comfortable. Great for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The recycled toothbrushes, waste ect..was good to see. The free slippers, pajamas, recycled water provided by the hotel added to an amazing experience. Cannot rate this place highly enough. Will love to come back again for sure!

SwedenThe hotel is close to the subway and bus making it easy to get to and from different locations. About 15 minute walk to both Kyoto station and Nishiki market. The shared faculties are well kept and clean. The fact that type can store your suitcase under the beds and easily take it in and out makes the room much airier than some of the other hotels I’ve stayed at. The downside is that the beds were very hard and pillows soft. I did get an extra pillow when I asked for it thought!

AustraliaThe communal areas for warming up the food and eating were too small. The dimmable reading lights in the bedroom will be ideal.
Stayed 1 night. It had almost everything you need for a shared toilet and showeroom accommodation. Stayed twin room for single use. The room was spacious and a mirror inside the room, a mesh bag for going to the showroom and a lanyard for the card key were convenient.

CanadaIt was a really easy stay - the bathrooms were a huge highlight (cleaned twice a day, great showers), the room itself was just okay - our issue was mostly that we wished we could open a window. Four people in one room needed ventilation, luckily there was an air conditioner but it was still hard to get it to be less stuffy. Overall a good option for a cheaper stay, the location was decent but not the best possible.

CanadaThis hotel has all you need for a comfortable sleep. The rooms are spacious and all the bathroom supplies and PJ’s are convenient. The bathrooms are conveniently located at every floor and they are big and spacious, sharing them is not an issue. The breakfast they offer is filling and all the staff were super nice.

JapanIt is cheaper than some other hostels, but I can hardly say it's a "good price"... Luggage storage is totally do it yourself. So be sure you don't have important stuff left. Elevator is narrow. It is not convenient that shower is only on one floor. I understand that it is for security concern, but it is inconvenient to carry the room card even to restroom.
Super close to metro station (Gojo). Enough shower booths (my experience is there was no need to wait during 22-24, 7-8) The room seemed narrow but the bed was SURPRISINGLY comfortable compared to how it looked. Air conditioner worked well.

Almost everything, the room, the mattress, the price and the toilet! This hotel is just like 2 minute walk away from the subway. It’s super convenient and comfortable, we booked the 4 pax room, it was bit smaller than expected but it was good enough for us. If you’re booking this room, please make sure you travel light. Don’t bring 4 28 inch luggage.. 😆
