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...).

The shower head leaked a tiny bit but overall not a big deal. The a/c had a bright green light when it was on which was kind of annoying when all the lights are out and you are trying to sleep & we couldn’t try the baths as we have tattoos that are too difficult to cover. Not major complaints and overall it was a great place to stay!
Great location, decent sized rooms & the staff were lovely. Having on site laundry is really a plus.

Everything was perfect
The hotel is beautiful from the entry area, the reception and the rooms. The location is very close to a metro line and it’s very convenient to also walk around to the temples or the city center. The room was very big with lots of space to move around and so was the bedroom. The breakfast had a lot of options to choose from so I recommend booking it with breakfast included

Everything was amazing! The staff was so helpful and they gave us complimentary lunch voucher and welcome drink voucher to the really nice restaurant in the ground floor! The room was big and it had minimal Japanese decoration, reminding a Ryocan but with a modern touch. Honestly it is a great place to stay in Kyoto, I wish I would have stayed more!

The room is a little smaller than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Japan.
Loved the location, the atmosphere and the overall look of the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us with a choice of drink and snack upon check-in which was a wonderful personalised touch. Also loved the amenities including the guest lounge downstairs with free drinks and snacks. We didn’t use the onsen but it’s great to have one within the hotel. The rooms were so clean and modern.

street noise, one night with the police siren, it was rather loud. Location was also great but not within short walking distance from e.g.Gion, Nishiki Market or Kyoto Train station, 15min walk.
Amazing ambiance, facilities (onsen and lounge room, simply excellent), spotless clean, beautiful rooms. the staff was very corteous and helpful - my daughter mentioned (she is 9 :-) that welcome drinks should include drinks for kids. Value for money - 10/10. We stayed two nights.

- • Group

The only complain we had is that we were unable to use the onsen due to have tattoos and one of our travelers being trans. This is probably more due to Japanese culture than the hotel itself, but be aware if this is one of the reasons you're booking this hotel!
The overall traditional vibe of this hotel was immacualte. This was one of the few hotels where we were able to stay in the same room with friends and it was very accommodating to that end. Our room had 4 separate beds and two bathrooms which was perfect! This was probably one of the largest rooms you could get in all of Japan and for a reasonable price. It was in a great location to get to other parts of Kyoto as well as a day trip to Osaka and they had a lounge with free snacks and drinks which was amazing. The staff was very friendly and the restaurants (while pricy) had pretty good food.
