Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaI'm 6'2 and the twin beds and sheets were a little short and small. Only 1 pillow as well. However I'm sure I could have asked for more.
Central yet quiet location, big and well set up rooms, clean, AC and bathroom works well. Staff were great. Laundry was good. Luggage forwarding avaliable. All around good.

United States of AmericaBooked last minute to be close to friends staying at a luxury-ish hotel one street over that was sold out on our first day arriving. Didn't see many reviews and was worried but turned out to be a great minimalist hotel. Way better and cleaner than the hotel in Osaka we stayed in.

Good location, walking distance to main areas but not too busy. Quiet at night. Comfy beds. Tatami area is good to put your luggage and have space. Bathroom is spacious. Laundry room/ washing machine downstairs.

SpainThe staff did not speak English. The problem occurred when I asked for the taxi order to go to the train station with bags. Reception told that they are not able to call it for me ( did not understand why ????) and I had to go with the bags on the street to catch a taxi on the road.
Absolutely great place to stay in Kyoto. Felt like at home. Big room. Nice vivid colores. . loved tatami & bean bags in the sitting area of the room. Nespresso coffee machine. Quality of toiletries- shampoo smell - soooo good !

GermanyThe only minor issue I can think of is, that the rooms are locked with keys instead of key cards.
The stay was beyond our expectations. The small hotel with friendly staff is located very centrally in Kyoto. The rooms are exceptional in size and very modern. everything is very clean. We would definitely come back to this hotel.

PortugalThe room was very spacious. The bathroom is well organised and spacious too. There is a great sitting area on tatami. Soft pillows and blankets. Downstairs you can use washing and drying machines for a small fee and the quality was outstanding. You can’t find better location in Kyoto if you are a tourist. On top of that the staff kindly accepted our luggage from a delivery company few days before we arrived. And when we checked in our big backpack was already waiting for us in the room :)

AustraliaThe room is a bit small, and the lighting is too dim for comfortable working, which strains the eyes. Initially, the air conditioner in my room malfunctioned, but after lengthy negotiations and communication, the staff kindly assisted me in changing rooms, for which I am deeply grateful.
The Staff members are helpful. Although some of them cannot speak English, we still can communicate with a translation app.
