Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

However, keep in mind that there are no elevators, so you’ll need to carry your luggage up the stairs. Because it’s in a lively area, it can be a bit noisy at night, especially if your room faces the street. If you're a light sleeper, earplugs might be a good idea.
Check-in was incredibly fast and seamless, making for a smooth start to our stay. The online staff were helpful and informative, providing all the details we needed. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Shinsaibashisuji, Dotonbori, and other central areas, making it perfect for exploring Osaka. Plus, it's conveniently close to the metro, making city travel a breeze. With countless dining and shopping options nearby, it’s an ideal spot for those who love to go out and enjoy the nightlife. Highly recommend for a stress-free and well-located stay!

Just like the others, it has no elevator so you have to carry your bags up until your floor. But don't worry, nothing like the train stations. Lol

We faced some difficulty during check-in, which has been a recurring issue since our first stay, even though this is our second time here. The room code provided was incorrect, we had to communicate and follow up with the owner to get the correct passcode to enter the room. This caused jeopardize our schedule. There is no lift, so we had to carry our four pieces of luggage up to the fourth floor.
This is the second time we've stayed at Shinsaibashi House because of its convenient location near Dotonbori and many famous restaurants nearby. The room is spacious, allowing us to open two large and two small luggages. They also offer a free laundry service.

The beds could have been 2 double instead of 1 double and 2 single, so that will create more space in the room for movement as the room space itself were a little constrain for movement with the luggages around. The laundry net at the common space was torn and the washer just couldn't stop when the timers up.
The common space at level 1 was nice and cosy
