How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- There was something in the reception area (some scent, candles, or something like that) that caused my spouse a life-threatening allergic reaction, which she wasn't aware of. Thankfully, we had some medicine with us, but the moment she had breathing problems was horrifying. All the other days, she just held her breath between the entrance and the elevator. - The room had an opaque window with reinforcement wires in it, which made it a windowless room. Not what we expected to have when we ordered the room - The bed was not very comfy - Free coffee in the lobby was 1/10, but not a big deal since it was complimentary. Just don't bother trying it.
Very modern hotel. Everything was clean and had all the needed amenities. Beautiful reception area. Not necessarily the best location, but it was located in a very nice area.

Good room size, well equipped. Very clean Very comfy beds and crisp linens - DREAMY! Bathroom very large Nice lobby with breakfast available, and free non-alcoholic drinks all day. Great location close to Karasuma Oike station (only 3 stops from Kyoto Station) Close to Nijo-jo Castle, and the Imperial Palace Kyoto National Gardens. Good bus links. 10 minutes walk from the river. Lots of great places to eat nearby - beautiful bakery just round the corner for breakfast! Friendly staff. We were able to walk from the hotel via Heian Shrine to Kodai-ji, and Kiyomizudera, and back via Gion, but buses also were available if we had wanted. It suited our needs perfectly and we really enjoyed our stay.

There is only 1 washing machine and dryer, but this did not affect us because there is a coin operated Laundromat nearby!
The room was spacious, clean and modern, the bathroom was large with a full size shower (not a pod bathroom that is most common in Japan). The location was a short walk to key attractions and public transport, and a cute bakery store just around the corner. The amenities are great - unlimited free soft drinks and tea in the lobby with a generous dining area. The staff were very accommodating and helped us with Yamato luggage forwarding. We loved our stay!

A little small, but not too much to cause a problem.
We loved our stay, the location was great, 10ish mins walk to metro and 20ish to Gion. It’s in a quiet street with many convenient stores and supermarkets nearby. The hotel and the room is beautiful and have a luxury touch. The only downside is the room was small but that’s typical in Japan.
