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.).

Switzerlandwe had maybe the smallest room, which is extremely small ;) but worked out ok and didnt matter so much
staff is amazingly friendly. u get a bit of japanese touch by changing shoes and taking off in the dining area. It's in a very quiet location, amazing bakery cafe just around the corner. we were allowed to leave luggage behind which was very helpful and avoided storage fees

ItalyThe room and especially the bathroom/toilet were kinda small. The main problem I have with this structure is unfortunately not with the structure itself but the location: it's almost a kilometer away from Nippori station. The station is luckily served by Yamanote Line, but it is very inconvenient if you plan to use the subway (so if you plan to visit places like Shibuya, Shinjuku or Ginza often expect for every trip to take a while).
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The room was a bit smaller than we expected and there wasn't a table or a wardrobe, but it was still very nice. Extremely clean structure with a daily towel change. Overall a very pleasant stay, the shared area was very nice and equipped with several amenities, but can be quite crowded at times.

United StatesNothing. Rooms are typical small but to be expected in Europe and Japan.
Amazing location 10 minutes from large nippori train station on Yamanote line, close to amazing coffee houses and restaurants. This place was so well cared for, clean modern and comfortable. The neighborhood is also quaint with nice restaurants and coffee houses nearby. We wished we could have stayed longer. Recommendation to new Tokyo visitors: don’t try to be right in Shibuya or Shinjuku, as long as it’s a stop on the key lines. It’s actually nice to get away from the crowds.

NetherlandsI don't have anything bad to say about Wagokoro. I guess that if you want a western style hotel with an English breakfast, and western furniture then this isn't the place for you.
Wagokoro guesthouse was a very nice Japanese style hotel that was a new experience to me. my room had Japanese Futons and a low table with pillows to sit down. The hotel was super clean and the staff were very nice and helpful. The Nippori area where the hotel is located is also a nice and quieter neighborhood that to me was nice to return to after a busy day in Tokyo.

MexicoI like EVERYTHING about it! The staff there is wonderful! One of the main reasons why I will come back to the hotel and EVEN JAPAN! they’re just amazing and the facilities are just as good! Everything is so clean, well organised, just perfect! I arrived from my flight at almost 3 am and there was someone waiting for me, he helped me with my luggage, prepared some slippers for me, and told me we could do the paper work in the morning, that I should just rest first after a long flight. The bathrooms are SO CLEAN! honestly everything about this place is perfect! I highly recommend it!

United StatesOne of my family members is more introverted and didn't really like greeting and making small talk with the front desk staff whenever we came in and out, but when we return from our daily adventures feeling exhausted they're really respectful and just greet us with a "welcome home" so I don't think it's a huge deal. The room was small but that's understandable given that it's in Tokyo. Another little thing that might be annoying is taking shoes/slippers on and off more frequently than other hotels (for example: in the entryway, we change from shoes to slippers and put shoes in locker, then wear slippers up to our rooms, then take off slippers for the tatami-floored part of the room, and the shared kitchen space also no slippers) but I think that's how they keep everything so clean and it didn't bother us much except for when my family member realized at the front door that he left his IC card in the hotel room and had to go back upstairs and change shoes/slippers again.
The best part of staying here was the staff...they are SO friendly and nice and helpful beyond belief. Front desk was staffed 24/7. They always made sure we had what we needed and then some! I appreciated it so much when they asked where we were planning on going that day and gave extra advice to help ensure the commute went smoothly. For example, when we were stressed out about how to get from the hotel to Haneda airport with all our luggage (we bought a lot), we asked them how much a taxi would be. They estimated around $100 which was similar to what Google Maps was showing us. But then they suggested that we take a taxi from the hotel to the train station (which only cost 900 yen, less than $6) and then take 1 train straight to Haneda Airport Terminal 3 and reassured us that the train station has elevators and everything for a smooth train catching experience. Thanks to the staff's advice we saved a lot of time and money that day. And the first day we checked in, I mentioned my mother was vegan and they even gave us a free resource book on all the vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo, and gave us advice on which train(s) to take to our chosen restaurant for the easiest transfer. The kitchen and dining area were shared and sometimes it got a little busy, but we were able to use the microwave, enjoy the free iced coffee, and then borrow a tray to eat in our room when it was busy. The futons were comfortable. Everything was kept very clean - we were pretty surprised to see that they cleaned our room and replaced all the sheets/towels/yukatas and made our beds every single day that we were there - all 5 days! The cleaning staff worked very hard. Location was great and only about a 9 minute walk from the train station, very close to Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa and easy to get to other parts of Tokyo so we got to explore a lot in our 5-day stay at this hotel.

The rooms were very clean and the futons were very comfortable. Many amenities such as fridge, hot water and even coffee was provided. The rooms were cleaned and tidied everyday as well to come back to a pleasant room. The location of the hotel is also very convenient being very near Nippori Station as well as a very short walk to a 24 Hr coin laundry. The neighbourhood where the hotel is at is also very quiet and peaceful. The hotel also requires the key to enter after 11pm so there is no worries for safety. The staff were the nicest bunch of people ever and they were always providing help for me and my friends during our stay. They took initiative to see what we needed assistance with and also extending their courtesy beyond what was required. I highly recommend staying here!

IndonesiaI fell from the bed leaving scars for getting down from the end/leg edge, not use to get down from end of the bed (usually i sleep in the side edge that turning my body would let me reach floor easily, that time i slept in last row/next to wall). But it wasn't the hotel mistake, and am still very happy staying there, moving to the other side on the next night :-D
This is the best hotel during our trip in Japan. Interior feels still new, all staff could speak English and exceptionally friendly and helpful (not just talk but action, they would get up from their post just to show me the lift which is actually very close, showed me how to use oven microwave, helped taking out the luggages). The most impressive service is they would bring our dropped luggages to the room directly when room is ready (the staff did the tagging and told us we could just leave for sightseeing) . Very convenient. The bakery nearby is indeed good, if on budget, the supermarket next to it offers 40% discounted meals at 9pm. We bought many snacks for souvenirs from that supermarket, cheaper and more uniques 😁.Distance is 8min or with many heavy luggages may take 13mins, so need to consider the timing well to catch up airport train. They offered limited free kimono to use around if helping them post review in socmed.

AustraliaThere were limited pillow options in the rooms, some were soft and other was a little too hard. Beds were comfortable, however.
The staff were very friendly, spoke great English and were attentive to all the details. They assisted us in pretty much settling in and advising us about the area, where to buy electrical appliances, etc etc. The hotel location was so close to the Bakery, with amazing coffees and baked goods, along with a huge supermarket for all those essentials. The 24hr laundry was right across the road - how handy is that! Perffect! The kitchen facilities, although limited, was still useful for cooking and heating up food. Bottomless hot and cold coffee a bonus!

CanadaI didn’t like the single beds with mattresses on the floor. I can understand a futon on the floor but not 2 single beds. Friends had a room for 3 normal single beds raised from the floor. The mattresses were comfortable enough.
Cleanliness was above expectations. Location was within walking distance, at least a 15 minute walk to the Nippori train station a JR line. Best thing was having a receptionist at the entrance (someone very helpful that you could talk to. She made sure everyone respected the entrance rules of taking shoes off and having slippers handy for you. Shoes were kept in a small locker assigned to you by the reception desk. Another good thing was the access to the kitchen with cooking utensils, pots, and plenty of dishes. It was a walking distance to a bakery and a supermarket where we picked up our meals and warmed them up in the microwave. The dining area only had low tables with cushions on the floor plus a normal height bench to sit on.
