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.).

United StatesThe pillows were way too hard. They actually gave me a headache and I had to improvise with clothing for a softer pillow. Although it is a non-smoking hotel, it was clear that people were smoking in their rooms, with the doors open for ventilation. Hotel staff didn’t do anything to prevent this.
Excellent location. Very good breakfast restaurant. Great shower. Decent bed / mattress.

United StatesThis place felt like a tourist zoo at times. During check-in time the lobby was insane. Of all the rooms I've stayed in in japan this was the dirtiest. I don't think it was quite unsanitary but all of the corners, edges, etc were very dusty. Clearly the room had not been deep cleaned in a long time.
Rooms are small but well laid out and full of all the detailed amenities that make Japanese hotels great. The building is new and seems well designed to handle the huge capacity and high rate of turnover of guests. Breakfast is pretty good. Location is extremely convenient for Kyoto station.

United StatesThe staff was very friendly, kind, always smiling. However, it would have been helpful if the staff at the front desk was prepared to answer some basic questions. When I asked "Can you please name a good ramen restaurant near by?" they seemed completely flustered. They went back in the office for quite a while (I assume to google "ramen restaurants nearby"? They came out and recommended just one restaurant which we didn't go to because it only had a mediocre score on Tripadvisor. When I asked for help booking a Geisha show they had a deer in the headlights look at seemed completely baffled. Since Geisha's are a key part of Kyoto's identify I was baffled at this. It would be very helpful to us travelers if the front desk could have a prepared list of restaurants, sites etc. along with a highlighted tourist map. In my many travels I've commonly found this at other hotels and really appreciate it. Also, more washing/drying machines would be wonderful. Three machines for a hotel that size was not sufficient. There was waiting every time. The room was very very small (we were two sisters and had two twin beds). We made due but be aware. They step down from the bathroom to the room was quite large and would have been a problem in the night. We McGyvered a step but this could have been an issue.
BREAKFAST - The breakfast was good and a reasonable price. Many asian dishes such as dumplings, tofu, chicken soup but also great salad, eggs, croissants, granola etc. About $14 US. LOCATION - Fantastic! Very close to Kyoto station which we used as our transpo hub for traveling around Kyoto and side trips to Nara and Hiroshima. Area is very safe with lots of restaurants, shopping, even 7-11 and Seattle's Best across the street CLEANLINESS AND COMFORT - Very clean hotel with most comfortable beds of our 3 week trip around Japan. Nice touches with fluffy comforters, Yukatas and slippers for the spa, toiletries including razors, brushes, toothbrushes etc.
