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.).

ChinaThere was some pavement repair work for one of the nights we stayed, so there was a bit noise yet for that night only. The neighbourhood can get crowded when it comes to festival (Matsuri) days, so bear that in mind when you come during festive seasons.
It is the second RIHGA Place hotel we stayed in for our trip. Compared to the last one, this one in Kyoto is even more central in location (hidden right inside Shijo-Karasuma), with only a few steps away from all the pubs and cafes. Plenty of choices when it comes to dining. The room is clean, standard in size for RIHGA Place The staff is very nice and helpful.

GermanyYou can only use the TV if you pay extra. I don't have a problem with that, but I think it should be clearly advertised as such before booking. When we requested an extra night the evening-shift staff wasn't able to help us much, we had to wait until the day to complete the new booking with other staff. No water is provided throughout the stay.
The location is great, the place is well equipped and very stylish.

United KingdomNothing really to mention here. Our room was a bit small but acceptable and possibly the view from the window wasn't excellent.
Location is very good, pretty close to everything. The hotel was elegant and well kept. Our room nice and clean. The staff very kind and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, probably the best part of our stay at the hotel.

New ZealandShops and sight seeing were all reasonably close, the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful! They have a cute little restaurant inside as well (we didn’t eat in but it looked lovely) the bed was comfortable and big so plenty of room for my husband and I. I highly recommend this place if you visit Kyoto, staff are super lovely as well!

SpainThe breakfast was terrible. They have a menu based on rice and have nothing else. No western options available, not even some fruit or yogurt, just onigiris, rice bread, rice porridge, some chicken and fish…it was very heavy, specially for 4 days straight having the same.
The hotel’s location is great, it’s very close to a metro station, two stops away from Kyoto station and a walking distance from places like Pontocho alley. Its is very modern and clean, with a big TV on the room. Room size was good.

United KingdomLimited number of restaurants nearby but we found a favourite only 5 mins walk away; go down to the main road turn left and it's a few door down on the left. It is around a 30 min walk to get to the Gion area, or take a bus/taxi
A nice hotel in a convenient position for the metro from the main train station; also plenty of busses available nearby. Be aware at the nearest metro exit there is a long run of steps, quite a struggle with a heavy case but there is an elevator available although tricky to find. There is a nice spacious reception area with charming and helpful staff. The rooms, as expected, were small but did have a window looking out at another window! The beds were wide and comfortable and everything was very clean. Very limited storage, as expected for the price and location. Good bathroom with a decent sized shower. We especially liked the Japanese style breakfast, lots of choice and an opportunity to try local food. The lady in charge was delightful and clearly took a pride in the food and presentation.
