Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United StatesI learned after our trip that APA hotels are owned by right wing extremists and they leave propaganda literature in the rooms. Do with that what you will.
This hotel is a short walk from Kyoto station, which is the main reason we chose it. Rooms were pretty large for an APA hotel. Check in and check out are easy here.

SingaporeThe number of laundry machines (dryer and washer) are too little compared to the number of guests, so we had to wait for hours before we can complete our laundry
The rooms and their amenities meet our expectation. We enjoyed the onsen facilities which makes this APA hotel different from the other APA hotels

United StatesExtremely high room temperature that I could not control, unable to open windows, no fan available. Only reaction from staff was "sorry", with a smile and a bow. It took an entire afternoon, including offering to pay for a floor-standing fan and explaining the health hazard, to have them bring in a fan. During those 3 hours, i witnessed two other guests complain of the heat (and other room issues). Waste of an entire afternoon and evening. I will not be returning unless they fix the ridiculous policy of switching from cooling to heating the entire hotel on a particular date, irrespective of the weather at the time!

MalaysiaThe size of the room is a little bit too small and the cleaning is every 3 days.
The hotel location is just perfect with the train station is just less than a 5 minutes walk, and Yodobashi is just a block away.

AustraliaStreet noise was more than expected. The hotel has excellent soundproofing but when motor bike riders go past at 2 am , not much will stop that noise .
It’s very close to Kyoto station and there are plenty of places to eat at nearby. The bed is an Australian queen size bed and is very high off the ground which gives you somewhere to put your luggage . It’s a large room by Japanese standards. The onsite onsen was fantastic . The check in procedure is very quick . It does get very busy in the lifts between 9-1030 am so be prepared to wait . The laundry is easy to use but the dryer takes 90 minutes for a medium load ( including jeans ) .

The best thing of APA is the location and facility provide in the room and in the hotel such as onsen. Moreover, hotel staffs are very nice and helpful. See you APA for next trip to Japan.

AustraliaVery close to the station, easily wheeled our luggage there. Nice room with all the usual APA hotel things. Washer-dryer machines available near entrance to onsen (need coins, detergent adds automatically). Discovered an extra machine inside the female onsen — super handy as another guest was using all of the general area machines at once. Washed my clothes while I had a bath, winning!

The hotel is just a few minutes away from the JR line. They have a laundry facility which was super convenient since it rained during the late afternoon and night so being able wash and dry our clothes was very helpful. The bed was very soft and comfortable.
