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.).

PortugalThere are 4 laundry machines at the common area, 2 are allowed for all whereas other 2 are for females only. I don't get the reason, but since one of the "sex indiscriminate" machines was broken and there was a big line I had to put and take my boyfriends clothes for him at the "female area". It was manageable, but we couldn't grasp the rationale of this.
The room was very spacious compared to all other hotels we stayed in Japan. Pillows were the most comfortable ones as well. I really loved the pajamas pants, super comfy! Breakfast was good although there wasn't much variety.

United StatesThe room was very spacious! Front desk was very helpful with luggage forwarding. There was an issue with delivery at our next hotel and I had messaged this hotel through Booking.com for a receipt which I unfortunately lost. They responded quickly and was able to update me on the delivery status which was a great relief! We went to the public bath every night of our stay. What's convenient is you can check the crowd status on your tv. Same with the laundry room.

RussiaI take off 1 point only because of prohibition to visit public bath to people with tattoos. It's 21th century and there a lot of people with tattoos, especially among tourist from Europe/USA/Russia, come on
Very nice stay with perfect location near Kyoto station (~10min walk). To Gion about 20-30 min walking. In room you can find everything you need: comfortable beds, pajamas, oral care products, razor disposables, etc. Definitely can recommend this place for staying in Kyoto.

United KingdomThe public bath time is too short in the morning.
The proximity to the subway and with walking distance to many attraction; meanwhile it’s not exactly at the busiest Kyoto station. So I can enjoy the proximity and quietness. The breakfast is not very much in variety but I like it full of vegetables which we don’t have dining outside. The WiFi is perfect. Will definitely come back again.

Beautiful decor and relaxing vibe. It was the comfiest bed and biggest bathroom I've seen in Japan. Staff were incredibly courteous, going above and beyond. Walkable from Kyoto train station and popular tourist spots. Loved the environmentally conscious focus of some aspects.

CanadaThe staff was SO welcoming and helpful, the room was cleaned every single day. We also appreciated the environmentally friendly efforts. The hotel also offers multiple utilities like the laundry room (an extra one exclusively for women) and hot baths. It is perfectly located, just a 13 min walk from the Nishiki Market. Honestly we stayed for a whole week and it really felt like home, we would definitely book this hotel again.
