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 KingdomWasn’t an issue because access codes were provided, but staff weren’t present at check in. Not being able to store luggage there before check in or after check out could make things difficult.
So bright, spacious and modern with a lovely balcony. Close to the station but also in a calm and quiet neighbourhood, with the metro and convenience stores also nearby

A great apartment hotel. Would book again if I was to return to Kyoto. Beautiful room, and well equipped common room. The surrounding area was calm, which was optimal, and metro station very near. Instructions and communication with dash living were very easy and comprehensive.

United StatesThe bed was not fixed to the floor so it kept sliding out of place when you lean on the wall. The bed is easily movable around the room.
Great location, close to the metro station but private enough that it's quiet. The kitchen on the first floor was helpful. as well as washing machines. For some reason I really enjoyed a tub and washing area in this room, it was just right.

SingaporeThe room was little dusty and the fridge was not working.
The location was perfect, nestled in a quaint little area but just a train stop away from Kyoto Station and the main shopping area. Everything was seamless from check in to check out. The room was big compared to the usual Japanese rooms - just nice for a couple.

AustraliaThe hotel doesn’t offer baggage storage. The hotel itself isn’t that far away from coin lockers in Kyoto JR station (~1km) but generally you’d have to plan your check in and check out with this in mind
Dash living Gojo is a fantastic stay for the Kyoto trip if you love to explore Kyoto. It’s close to the subway line and walkable distance to many attractions and Kyoto JR station. The room was spacious and well equipped with bedside charging ports for your electronic devices. There are free washers and communal kitchen if that’s needed. Check in and check out was extremely easy too.

United StatesThe faucet in the bathroom is shared by the shower and the face basin, so the water comes out too strong and splashes everywhere.
New renovation. Very clean and well renovated. Staff were nice. There's also a common kitchen area. I stayed for 1 month, so it was nice to be able to cook sometimes. Location was amazing. Close to the Gojo Station (Karasuma subway line), buses, restaurants, etc without being too touristy. Quiet at night.

SpainAccess to the entrance had a small step, but mentioning this only because we had a person in a wheelchair. Still doable though. Also the trash could have been taken out more often out of the room.
Excellent place - the biggest rooms we’ve had during our trip to Japan - even had a balcony. New facilities, everything very well organized. Common space for eating inside of the hotel if needed, washing machines, oven, microwave etc. Perfect location - in the very center, walking distance from Kyoto station, yet very quiet area.

United StatesOne of our futons was a bit flat and left my back a little sore. Also, check-in was confusing because they sent the code to my email a few hours before check-in, but I was not able to see it because I didn't have internet. They should consider that not all foreigners have cell service upon arrival. Luckily, I was able to sign in on my husband's phone, but then it turned out the code was the code to get our key from the little box inside. All this was going on while a worker was at the desk, so they just let me in. If they have a worker there anyway, it might just be easier to do a normal check-in. Or, they could send the code way ahead of time like some other places do so I can screenshot it. It was just unnecessarily tedious. I hope you guys can fix this process.
Good location near an amazing temple and a bunch of restaurants. The room had nice facilities and was a little more spacious than our last Japanese hotel. I liked that this place was nice and clean.
