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...).

GermanyThe Korinkyo is a beautifully designed oasis in the heart of Kanazawa’s Korinbo neighborhood, offering both tranquility and a perfect starting point for exploring the city’s highlights like Kenroku-en Garden and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. The hotel’s minimalist design, crafted with natural materials and soft, welcoming forms, creates an atmosphere of calm and comfort. Thoughtfully curated amenities, including fragrant lavender and yuzu care products, elevate the experience, while the multi-course breakfast, served by attentive staff, is a true highlight. Korinkyo is more than a hotel—it’s a restorative retreat that lingers in your memory long after you leave.

United StatesWe liked the quiet calming ambiance in a fabulous location in Kanazawa. We walked to all the museums, gardens, and restaurants we wanted to visit. Then we came back to the Korinkyo for the evening with the welcoming and helpful staff and our room with more comforts than we could have thought of ourselves.

United StatesThis was a calming stay in the city. I can’t say enough about the facilities and the staff. Everyone and everything was thoughtful to the details of comfort and calmness. The architecture is modern Japanese minimalism and the towels and linens are of excellent quality. The location is within walking distance of museums, gardens, fine dining, and high end shopping.

AustraliaThe sensor lights in the room. Apparently there was also a projector TV somewhere but we didn't find it.
Korinkyo is an absolutely beautiful hotel. Our room was huge with a stunning bath and a cute seating area overlooking the street. There were complimentary drinks in the fridge and the Taiwanese breakfast was very tasty. The rooftop spa and sauna is definitely worth booking for a relaxing dip with views across the park. Overall it was a unique hotel experience well worth the money.

United StatesThe only issue we had was the toilet and bathrooms. I guess the air conditioning didn't hit that area, and unfortunately the sauna was on in one of teh bathrooms when we arrived so they just never really cooled down for the few days we were there. Otherwise everything was great.
The breakfast was perfect. As foreigners coming to Japan, the different breakfast style was new to us. But they gave the kids, me and my wife, and my mother (who has dietary restrictions) a perfect selection of food. The location was fantastic. Not too far from the train station, but also incredibly close to all the sightseeing highlights. Especially being walking distance to the biggest attractions. Having so many food options and shopping nearby was great. The rooms were quite large, the beds were real king beds, we really enjoyed it.
