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 StatesNothing really but perhaps it would have been convenient to have a restaurant onsite. No matter given close proximity to so many great eats.
The location in Gion is excellent (also not far from busy shopping area across the river), the rooms clean and traditional Japanese style. The best part was the staff. Saho-San and her colleagues were amazing hosts, helping us focus on the best of Kyoto and even advised us on our other travel to Fuji mountain area.

AustraliaNot having anywhere to have breakfast meant we had to go exploring for breakfast each day. Not a huge problem but the hotel could have provided some better information about what our breakfast options were.
This was a great location from which to explore Kyoto. The room itself was very comfortable and had everything in it that we needed.

United Statesno complaints.
the location was excellent and next to the historic geisha district and incredible temples. the staff was beyond exceptional with such amazing energy and care for us during our stay. everything about the room was lovely, atmospheric, and gave us a feel of really being in japan not just being in a hotel. so we enjoyed the moments between walking around Kyoto because we still felt we were culturally entwined in our own room. the coffee and tea and thoughtful touches they added as we were on our honeymoon just made it a stand out memory and the front desk personnel will be in my heart forever the way they treated us was more than we could ask for. such kindness. when we come back to kyoto this is the only hotel we will be staying at.

Comfortable beds (both Western and Futon), room was nicely appointed in a combination of traditional Japanese and Western style with all modern fixtures. Perfect location for walking around the Gion district and close to the river and bustling main shopping area. Nespresso coffee machine in the foyer was gratefully enjoyed.

Location close to Gion which was what we wanted. Was easy and safe to walk around at night. The staff were helpful esp when we needed help to send our luggage to the next hotel, they were able to assist and even helped us checked with the next hotel, to ensure they would receive our bags.

The premium quadruple room is suitable for family of 4 (2 bed + 2 futons). Though the room is not as spacious, the balcony is good to have. There's a bathtub in room. Good bathroom amenities. Location is splendid, away from the city, alongside traditional houses, with many restaurants. It is so peaceful in the night. Across the shijo-ohashi bridge, there's the bustling area with lots of food and shopping. The hotel is only a 5-min walk from Gion-shijo station. <Dec 2023>

United StatesNothing. Great Stay!
Absolutely fantastic location. It was one block away from the main shopping street in Gion and tucked into a cluster of historic streets. You don't have to walk far to be immersed in historic kyoto. There are three subway lines within a five minute walk, so getting to the other sights in Kyoto is easy. The rooms were very spacious for a family of four, and the additional amenities with a mini bar and balcony made the space very livable. The was also a coin-op washing machined on the ground floor. The staff was very nice.
