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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The staff were very friendly and were happy to provide advice on local attractions. The hotel was decorated very tastefully and the room was a very pleasant place to stay. The atmosphere made it a very peaceful stay. The breakfast was a great start to the day.

The breakfast was excellent (homemade croissants and quiche)and the breakfast room was so welcoming. The owne/chef offers dinner three nights a week for an extra cost but it is well worth it since he is a professionally trained chef who lived in Paris for 30 years.

AustraliaThe mood lights in the windows from the other rooms cause a lot of light pollution and make it virtually impossible to sleep without using the provided eye masks, it’s fine just something to be aware of.
Very comfortable, staff were amazing, and a nice mix between traditional ryokan and luxuries.

AustraliaBecause of the traditional nature of the building and its wooden floors upstairs, unwanted noise from other guests proved to be intrusive at times, (if they were checking out early for instance and clattering about), but it wouldn't put me off staying there again as the benefits far out weigh this one negative.
Auberge is accomodation for sophisticated travellers that appreciate quality amenities and services. Far superior to normal hotel accomodation. It is more akin to a serviced apartment because the spaces are generous. All staff including the owners were exceptionally polite and welcoming and friendly. English is spoken, and French by the owners who are also long-time Parisian restaurateurs. This place is set in a 100 year old house with an uprade to modern standards. A Japandi style Ryokan. Highly recommended.

An exceptional mix of serenity and fine-furnishing puts Auberge-Azabu at a class of it's own. Centrally located and easy access to what Kyoto has to offer. Best of all is the friendly and helpful staff, and the amazing service - the welcome when you arrive, the explaining of all the place has, etc. As stay not to miss if in Kyoto!

My stay at Auberge AZABU was excellent! The customer service was top-notch, making me feel right at home. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the staff were always kind and helpful. They even assisted with carrying luggage quietly to the 2nd floor. Location was perfect. Overall, a fantastic experience!
