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.).

GermanyThe bed was too hard for me and I woke up with back pain. The breakfast was 2 plastic packed sandwiches one with a sausage and one with egg. The window was very small you had basically no daylight in the room, but you go to japan for sightseeing and not to stay in the room so it’s okay.
The stay was really good. It was nice and quiet at night, the staff was very friendly and helped us a lot, it was clean and the offer of hotel facilities were great (powder room for ladies, blowdrier, toothbrush, shower gel etc. was there, sink in the room, and much more.) the hostel looked really beautiful making an overall good feeling. If you are looking for the highest quality hostel you can get for this price, you will be at the right place at WeBaseKyoto!

IrelandThe room wasn't ready until 4pm, even though check-in was stated as 3pm as normal. This was a bit frustrating as we had just arrived in Kyoto and wanted to go exploring the city. Excellent experience here other than this.

This hostel is amazing! Not only the staff is super friendly, but they offer a lounge area with a lot of comfort: games, books, couch, coffee, tea, breakfast, noodles. All for free! The shared showers are spotless, the powder room offers extra amenities. And the private bedroom is super comfortable. Small but enough for its purpose of sleeping. The free breakfast was a surprise for me as I did not book anything. It's the same everyday but it's tasty. Definitely one of the best accommodations we had during our whole trip to Japan!

Nice location about a 5-10 minute walk to the train station, quiet street. Communal restrooms were clean. We had a family room with 2 large beds (comfy!) and the room was very spacious. They provide a coffee/water machine in the communal space and provide a brown bag breakfast of hotdogs for takeaway each day. The communal space was lovely and quiet. Overall we would recommend!

GermanyIt would have been great if the windows could be opened. On a rainy day the air was very humid and hot in the room and opening the door or putting on air conditioner wasn’t helping much. And maybe a small luxury problem but a few more jacket hangers or something like a mini shelve would have been very convenient to put your stuff somewhere.
WeBase had a really nice location, compared to the hotspots of Kyoto it was also more calm. As a couple in a hostel we were positively surprised how convenient everything was. There were a lot of shower on the underground floor and they were very clean. Each floor provided toilets as well. The room looked as in the pictures. The personnel was very friendly and helped us with our suitcase delivery to Osaka. We are happy with our choice to stay at WeBase and would do it again!
