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.).

PolandI loved everything about this accommodation. Starting from Kevin who was an amazing host, welcoming, kind and helped us with a lot of staff. Thank you! I really liked our room with a traditional atmosphere and I was surprised by how spacious and clean it was. The hotel has an elevator and is located in a charming, quiet neighbourhood. Only 20 minutes on foot from the Kyoto Station and the same distance from Gion district. Thank you for having us, definitely will visit next time!

United StatesHonestly, I can't wait to go back. I don't think we had anything we were disappointed with in this property.
This property was ideally located along a stream and one block away from the river. It was such a beautiful and peaceful space. The rooms were large and came with slippers, the beds comfortable, and each had its own little kitchenette. There was also a tatami room! Kevin, the host at the front, was always so warm and welcoming. He was accommodating anytime we had questions. The property was centrally located and less than a 10-minute walk to the subway. And about 25 minute walk door-to-door for the Shinkansen train (Kyoto Station). One note for calling a cab via the Go app or Uber: use the Ume-yu 梅湯 as the pickup/dropoff location as the street is VERY narrow, and often cabs have a hard time navigating it.

GermanyWe booked at short notice and that did not work so well so rather book well in advance. Rooms were very cold as they had not been occupied for some days as it seems. Aircon heating took about a day to bring up the temperature. Warm blankets were provided though so no major issue for the first night.
Very nice location in a quite side street in a residencial area. Close to the river. Nice restaurants and bars in walking distance. Nice rooms with separate shower and toilet. Some rooms on floor 3 and 4 with river view. Very friendly and attentive staff.

United StatesHatsune is a very nice affordable hotel—perfect for us and our travels. We don’t spend much time in our hotels, but having a comfortable room with a luxurious soaking tub after a long day of walking and crowds is just perfect. The staff is very friendly and helpful (not on site 24 hours) and the location is a short walk down through river from Gion, and easily walkable from Kyoto station. It is on a very narrow one way street so be careful asking taxis to drive all the way to the door, if their car is standard width it can be a very tight fit getting by!
