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.).

United StatesThe description of the rooms on booking.com wasn’t obvious.
The hotel is great especially for someone who appreciates art. Each room in this hotel is a piece of art and may be you should check on their website if you like the design or not. The room was very clean, very nice and comfortable bathroom, the location is superb, close to a lot of Kyoto’s best attractions, restaurants and nightlife. The staff was very helpful, if you feel that you room as it is a piece of art misses something, they try to accommodate you the best way they could. For example our room was a bit dark so they offered additional lamps( we refused, didn’t want to spoil the author’s idea), they also have extension cords on the floor if you feel that there is not enough power outlets. We liked this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

GreeceOnly thing that I’d say is that the art character of the room doesn’t work well if you want to hang clothes or organize your stuff as everything is art and potentially fragile. Still worth it though
Incredible rooms all around, great location, staff was super helpful.

IsraelIts an interesting place, worth visiting for 1 night. Unfortunately this doesn't work as a hotel for me - the rooms (we've been 2) are uniquely designed, which is cool. But from all the design the basic functionality suffers - it's hard to find a place to put a phone or a book on the room, or to sit comfortably. Forget about a place for your clothes. So it's a great gimmick, worth spending the night in for the sake of experience, just be prepared to lose some basic comfort.
Very unique design and concept, super nice and helpful staff. Great bar and coffee shop

AustraliaIn an attempt to be super stylish and minimalist, practicality has been lost a little bit, lack of storage space and a place other than the bed to relax, consider a couch or comfortable armchair?!

United KingdomThe pillows need replacing - most uncomfortable ever! As no furniture in the room it is difficult to keep tidy as living out of suitcase. Even a small cabinet/wardrobe in keeping with design would help. The number of rules that you are taken through at check in are overwhelming - don't touch walls, no housekeeping, towels into baskets, 'we are insured if you break anything' feels very prescriptive and rigid.
Location is great! Very quiet hotel and very interesting design/art.

AustraliaThe check-in process was a little confusing.
The hotel is very funky in a great location with lots of public transport option close by. The staff are all keen and know the city well. They have a nice coffee shop, but for some reason the staff thinks it only opens at 10am, while they actually serve coffee happily to residents during the "breakfast" opening time of 8am.
