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.).

BelgiumIf I have to be picky, a better option of tea and coffee at breakfast but for the price I thought it was a great value overall
A nice hotel in a great location. Staff was nice and friendly. The amenities bar was full with everything you need and even though you were off of one of the main shopping streets it was still nice and quiet in the hotel. Perfect location to walking into Gion too!

United KingdomBreakfast room (which wasn’t even included in our rate) wasn’t attractive at all and also not consistent with the rest of the hotel. We are Italian and we didn’t appreciate the choice of a “sort of Italian restaurant” in that Japanese environment which was really beautiful. After checking in we found the bathroom bin still full from previous guests and the smell coming from the toilet/sink was really bad. WiFi in our room wasn’t working either. On our check out date we asked the girls at the reception to kindly book a taxi for us (we were travelling with a baby and therefore we needed a large car for the pram to get to the station) but they were very dismissive and told us that taxis were not available - they didn’t even spoke with them on the phone. No assistance or problem solving at all. Also none of them spoke English, which is not ideal for a customer facing job.
The location was great and the interiors were very beautiful

United KingdomNothing all good.
The location was great with bus stops just outside the hotel which get you to all the main tourist areas. Plenty of places to eat out within a five minute walk as the hotel is located in a busy shopping area. Good selection for vegetarians for breakfast including salad, egg, fruit salad yogurt and rice. Room size good. Coffee machine on ground floor.

ItalyThe bed is small. The room is also small but that's Japan. The breakfast is not the greatest, but maybe it's because I personally don't wanna eat miso soup that early in the morning.
The hotel looks very nice. There is a laundry coin service available that was very handy - laundry detergent included for 300 yen. They also offer a service where they ship your luggage to your next destination - I haven't used it because I thought saving 20 euros was worth it but then I ended up spending all 20 euros on the claw machines and had to carry my own luggage.

SwitzerlandIt is really minor things: - toilet paper is very thin (one layer), I had better ones in public toilets.. - the rooms are not cleaned everyday which is totally fine but we still receive new towels everyday. Maybe it will be better to only change the ones that are given back.
The location was amazing, close to Gion (10-15 min by foot) and great places to eat (Pantocho and Nishiki market). There is also a metro station close-by. It was also clean, a comfy bed and we receive 2 water bottles everyday. I would recommend it 100% and would come back for sure!

United KingdomThe rooms are really very small (even for Japanese standards!) and ours didn’t have a proper window either so I’d suggest upgrading to a bigger one if there for more than one night - we stayed for 4 and it was wearing me down eventually! Also, I think they really could improve the breakfast offering.
Good location for exploring Kyoto, friendly staff, good selection of toiletries and amenities to take to the room and a nice touch to have a free coffee machine in the lounge.
