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...).

GermanyMy one tiny TINY thing is I wish I had a full body mirror in the room itself. The only one I had was in the shower.
This place was such a huge surprise for me. There is so much to love about it. The location, the views, the beautiful design, the very friendly and welcoming staff, the complimentary drinks in the lobby, oh and the white house slippers! Like a dream! I cried putting them on. The room was very spacious. Perfect temperature control. Everything and more I could need in the room. Just everything was so great, first time I ever gave a perfect 10/10. I would honestly stay here again in the future.

SwedenNothing, everything was perfect!!
Kikokutei Bekkan is a Japanese dream hotel coming true. I think words and pictures do not do justice, reality of staying there is even better! The hotel feels so private and everything is full of good energy and tranquility. Perfectly clean and well maintained. The personnel makes you feel welcome all the way, very friendly and ready to assist in case of inquiries. My room (303) was just wonderful. Everything you might need is provided in the room. Great decoration with a nice combination of modern and traditional Japanese style. Amazing Japanese breakfast (there is as well option for western style breakfast if you prefer). Location is perfect! Just 10 min walk from Kyoto train station and around 25-30 min from the famous old Kyoto district. The Shoseien park is right next to the hotel while the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple is close by. In case I ever revisit Kyoto this is the hotel to stay! Thank you Kikokutei Bekkan for a truly amazing experience!!

United StatesI honestly had a perfect stay.
My wife and I were impressed by the staff, they were extremely friendly and willing to offer recommendations for food nearby. The room was also incredibly clean and comfortable. They added flower petals and a card for our honeymoon which was a nice touch. I was mainly impressed with our private garden and personal bath that overlooked it. I am definitely going to stay here again.

United StatesI’m not sure I have anything I didn’t like.
Beautiful and comfortable rooms. Great location, and wonderful staff. Breakfast was amazing! Also, I’m gluten free and I think this was one of the few properties that tailored a proper gluten free meal. Most places just eliminate a lot of things including meat, and i’m not certain why so many people think gluten free is vegan. This place really provided a proper breakfast! They also provide umbrellas if it’s raining, and have a sense of humor. Really nice staff! Wish I took more photos!

The room we stayed in was spacious and the staff were very friendly. Within walking distance to Kyoto station and some great restaurants as well as convenient bus lines to major areas like Nishiki Market. Would definitely come back to stay next time we are in Kyoto.
