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 StatesBeautiful small hotel located over a bakery/bagel shop. Rooms are spacious, with wooden beams and whitewashed walls. We stayed for 4 nights and breakfast was different each morning. Delicious freshly baked bagels included every morning. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Perfect location for exploring Kyoto. Plenty of restaurants within a short walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying at Kyono Mori Yurinsha if you visit Kyoto.

United Statesthis was a really cute bed and breakfast style inn located in a residential neighborhood. the first floor is a cafe/restaurant serving home cooked brunch meals and pastries to go (get the bagels!!!!!). staff were super kind and hospitable. the rooms were cozy and minimally furnished. stairs only, no elevator. bathroom is small but manageable. the location is around 20 min walking to attractions like gion or nishiki market. however there are definitely restaurants and convenience stores just a few blocks away, as well as public transit access. overall this is a great place to stay, especially for small groups (1-2) who prefer a quiet environment and don’t mind doing a bit of walking to get to places. it was very different from our stay in large hotels in other Japanese cities and felt a little more welcoming, like staying in someone’s home.

Where do I begin? This property is utterly charming. The owners are a family of true values. They are super friendly and make your stay so special. The food that we were served was the best that we have eaten in our 3 weeks of traveling in Japan. As well as being very tasty they were keen to help you understand what we were eating and traditions behind it. It is just opposite the ferry terminal. Once the tourists had left the island we could wander the streets in peace and quiet and see the shrine beautifully lit at night. We would highly recommend staying g the night here rather than a day trip from Hiroshima.

South AfricaThe room and bathroom are really small, even by Japanese standards.
The breakfast (pay extra) is very good food, excellent fresh ingredients. Nicol the host is very friendly and gave us wine glasses, plates and cutlery to use every night. There is a microwave outside the door, the fridge is in the room. I am glad we stayed on the top floor, as it was quiet and we had good privacy. The neighbourhood is wonderfully quiet at night.

Fabulous location for walking to Old Town Kyoto (Higashiyama District). Also, the owners spoke English and were extremely helpful to find transportation for us, when needed.

United StatesThe bathroom was very tight and also required a step up from the room floor, which was a bit of a hazard. There aren't elevators here, which didn't bother us, but could be problematic for some.
The room was comfortable and helped us unwind after long days exploring Kyoto. It's not located super close to the subway, but it is within walking distance, and it's also close to some bus stops. It is fairly close to the Nishiki market area, which is cool to explore. Also like previous reviews, I love the aroma in the mornings - this is a hotel but also has a restaurant that bakes bread daily for purchase. And lastly, the staff is so nice! I wish I had gotten her name, but the woman who we primarily talked to at the front desk was so nice and helpful - such as accommodating a late check in and helping us ship our luggage to our next destination.

United StatesPillows could have been better - I prefer the big fluffy / gel (western) type ones
About the breakfast: Must get. This accommodation cooks very fresh and simple meals for breakfast that left us full every morning. It was usually with a salad, a little yogurt, their house-made bagels/pastries and a soup or light dish to start the day. They sell the same pastries during regular business hours and it's lovely to have fresh. About the room: clean, quaint and simple room. Theres a microwave in the hallway but we ended up never using it. The front reception closes at 8pm so late check-ins definitely need to message them ahead of time to coordinate. About the location: very close to Gion district and around the corner from Men-Ya Inoichi michelin bib ramen (two locations)

JapanNothing. There are stairs though, so if you have mobility issues you might want to request a lower floor. This was our second stay, and I would stay there the next time I visit, too.
Delicious breakfast: homemade bagels, home-cured bacon, vegetable soup, salads, yogurt and fruit, fruit juice, tea or coffee. Excellent start to the day. If you want to stay in an old part of the city, not in a faceless chain hotel, this is a great option. There is a convenience store and a supermarket a few minutes' walk from the inn. The bus stops are nearby and you're a few minutes from the Keihan train line too.
