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.).

New ZealandThe aircon unit was full of black mold which meant we couldn't use it as I have bad asthma. There was also pink mold in the corners of the bathroom. We messaged to ask for extra pillows and were told that they would be unable to fulfill this request as the property is managed remotely. I understood at the time but after thinking about it later, I was confused as to why they wouldn't be able to communicate with the team that work at accommodation. We needed clean towels during our stay but after not being able to get extra pillows, didn't bother to ask for more towels so ended up having to wash the ones in the room ourselves. Not how we thought we would be spending part of our honeymoon! Also we had issues trying to check in with the machine. It didn't work but the person we called for assistance was super helpful, friendly and spoke great English.
The location was excellent, unfortunately this was just about the only good thing about the experience.

Turkeyannoying stuff, the worst experience, my room had been already booked and İ realised it when i arrived at the place at 6 PM and they made me wait 2 and half hourse at the reception for the solution.. Furthermore, the manager didin't provide me any room instead he gave me a solution "you should find a place for yourself and we can refund your money".

PortugalIt was not clean. There was dust everywhere, hairs and mold on the exhaust vent and on the AC. There is no staff on the premises, so we had to contact them via phone, email, booking and WhatsApp to try and get the room cleaned asap. As per the staffs request, we sent photos showing the dirtiest spots we found. Our request was acomodated and the communication very professional. The following day the room, was only partially cleaned! Just the spots from the photos. We even found other guests socks beneath the bed, leading us to believe that the room was never properly vacuumed. The hotel needs to improve its cleanliness in general. Smells like dust and mold when you walk inside. Apart from that, everything was OK. But unfortunately I will not be coming back to this hotel in the future.

VietnamBad service. I have requested refunds for the trips because all the trains to Kyoto have suspended over the past few days. If the hotel accept, we can get refund. Although I explained the unavoidable situation, they still said no to my request.
The decoration is okay based on the picture. Because of the Typhoon, I have no way to take the Shinkanshen bullet train to Kyoto.

MalaysiaMy room was located at the ground floor. So, sometimes I noticed there's a leaking inside the bathroom, coming from the airway. I think it's due to the room above us.
The location of the guest house is great! It only takes few minutes of walking to get to the nearest bus stops and railway stations. If you're planning to use the public transport during your travelling, this guest house is for you. There's also a lot of cafes around the area as well as 24 hrs convenience stores, if you want to find snacks at midnight.

HungaryThey don't provide essential utilities for everyday needs, and expect to buy it for yourself - like dishwasher detergent and sponge. We stayed for 2 weeks and they don't clean up the space for us at all and neither give us tools for cleaning it by ourselves. Garbage disposal and bedsheet washing is unmanaged, even after a special request. The service provider wasn't helpful regarding information handling of bicycle parking and in general they refuse every of our requests.

Low price, beds were comfy, washing machine in room which was very handy, fridge and a hob to cook on.

The checkin and checkout process are smooth (no reception at all), and the location is 5 minutes from a metro station and 20 minutes walking from the main Kyoto station. Perfect!

A lovely German couple let me in who shared their difficulties at entering the property previously. I contacted my husband in Australia who managed to get information from the booking site. Finally entered our room at 9.30 pm
