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):
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.
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.).

DenmarkAll was great!
The beds are firm and comfortable and there is a fantastic rain shower in the room. The rooms are big enough for Japanese standard. The staff at the reception were nice and helped us to fill in the luggage delivery service paperwork. The location was great for us, good link to all the areas in Kyoto. There are 3 washing machines in the hotel which we made use of.

United StatesThe beds were very uncomfortable and the blankets were almost too small. Additionally the usage of space in the room made it awkward to get in and out bed and made the room feel more cramped.
The location was nice because it offered quick means to getting to places we wanted to go such as Fushimi Inari. Also the bathroom was fantastic.

AustraliaThe room was rather small, of which is somewhat expected with Japanese hotel rooms but the limited amount of space and table & chairs in the way meant there was no where to put/open suitcases. Luckily you could at least store them under the beds. Washer/dryer facilities were a nice extra, but you did have to pay 600-800¥, which we were happy to do, however the machine does not dry your clothes well at all, even after putting them through a second drying cycle. This made hanging them up to dry in the room tricky! We did not opt for the breakfast at additional cost as it was limited in variety and quality.
Clean and modern. Beds were comfortable, however small. Bathroom was clean with a big shower, and strong water pressure. Aircon worked well, kept the room cool. Staff were friendly and helpful.

RomaniaThe room was smaller than anticipated, with little space to move around but manageable. The cleanliness was okay-ish, the room was a bit dusty (under the bed where you store your luggage a bit too dusty). Also, the window faced the fake balcony, so no view. We received a room facing the street and it was quite noisy. If not for the common bathroom and the washer and dryer, I would have given a 7.
We stayed at this hotel for a few nights. The staff was really nice, we could send the luggage beforehand for them to receive and also leave the luggage after the check-out time for a few hours. The room was ok, with a big bed, a table with two chairs, a TV, a fridge, bathroom with a shower. We enjoyed the common bath (separated by gender), and the washer and dryer (paid). There was also a drinks vending machine and water cooler. We didn't have breakfast there.

SpainDespite the larger rooms, the layout (where the beds are placed and how to store our luggage) is still a bit inconvenient. The views are amazing, but we missed having proper curtains to block the sunlight early in the morning, as the current ones aren’t sufficient. Last year, there was a much wider variety of beverages during happy hour, where you could enjoy drinks with friends in the dining room. We understand that some guests may have misused this service, leading to changes, but it was disappointing to have only a few drinks available. The option to pay 1000¥ for alcohol was too much, so this time it wasn’t worth it.
I stayed at this hotel last year and wanted to return during my latest trip to Kyoto. Since the standard rooms were too small, I booked the larger ones, which were indeed more spacious. From these rooms, there are great views of the east side of Kyoto. The sento was amazing, and despite all the tourists in the city and the hotel, we didn't encounter too many guests using it when we did, making it much more enjoyable for us.

CanadaThe room is small, as anywhere in Japan, but the layout here is particularly awful. We travelled with two large suitcases and two backpacks, and we couldn't keep even one open at any time, we constantly had to store them away under the bed, which was annoying. The breakfast was just awful, forget the picture they have on here. We usually prefer hotels with pastries on the breakfast menu, but these were just small, dry, and flavorless. They also had very little options for a buffet-style breakfast.
The hotel seems brand new, I really liked the style of the furniture. The reception desk was extremely helpful and were even able to send our luggages to our next destination. I loved the public bath, used it every day. It was quiet and soothing. The location of the hotel is great for public transit, with a bus stop right in front of it, but also for quick runs to the 7-eleven right besides it. We also enjoyed the complimentary soft drinks in the evening.
