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...).

AustraliaProviding tea / coffee would have been nice.
Hotel location was just opposite the railway station with a subway entrance right outside. Small hotel, no reception, just a computer station in the entrance hallway. Dial the number and the reception person comes down for check-in. All good, no hassles. Good size room with balcony & sliding opaque glass doors. Very clean. Toilet & large walk in shower in separate bathroom - with access hand rails - a nice touch. Basin in bedroom, which also has bench space, hanging space, bar fridge and 2 seats with a little coffee table. Nice comfy bed, hard pillows though! In all, a nice room. One USB outlet by the bed. 3 rooms per floor, 5 floors. Fabulous seafood Izakaya in the adjacent laneway. Well recommended.

ArgentinaThere is no front desk, you only see someone when checking in and out. Rooms have a good size, everything very clean. Small hotel, you do not see many people. Location next to kyoto station os good for day trips out of kyoto but most of the places to visit in kyoto are a bit far.

SwedenInstructions on how to enter your room could have been a little moore easier, since there is no reception, and the instructions are all digital, and not always easy to follow. But we managed it and we loved the hotel and the room.
We had no breakfast at the hotel. The location across the street from the Kyoto Station was very good. The room was bigger than most hotel in the area, and price performance was great. We especially liked the "Scandinavian interior room design"

SingaporeThe room is not soundproof and could hear some noise from the street below. Probably due to the lower floor I stayed. But other than that, all is good.
Good location. The (big) size and design of the room. Simplicity of checking in and out process. Courteous and helpful staff. Can access Porta underground mall/subway/train right outside the hotel.

CanadaYou can hear your next room near the entrance of your room. And at late night sometimes you can hear the crowded people noise from outside.
Great location, 1min to the train station and subaway station. This is a very large room in Kyoto very unexpected, I like large space but everything in Japan is usually small lol... The front desk person is very friendly, helped us mail the luggage to the next hotel.
