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 comes to mind!
Location was amazing, just a few blocks from the iconic Nishiki Market. Tons of amazing restaurants nearby and a short walk to a few different stations. Everything was clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and they will gladly take your bags early and put them in your room for you. Hosts speak good English! They had a beer/highball vending machine on the floor with the public bath and had umbrellas to borrow for the sometimes unpredictable Kyoto weather. The public bath was wonderful - clean, well stocked, and soooooo relaxing. Each room has traditional robes for use and lots of slippers to get around the hotel without having to put shoes back on. 11pm curfew to be back at the hotel, but you'll be tired enough after walking so much each day to see as much of Kyoto as possible. They will also keep your bags after check out so you can explore the city a little more before catching your train. The traditional breakfast was amazing and all of the staff were so kind and helpful.

Host is very nice. You can drop off your baggage if you arrive early before check in time and luggage will be brought to your room. Host also provided tea and cookies to welcome you. Wonderful Japanese breakfast in a private room!

Great location, just around the corner from nishiki market. I think there were only three staff members: lovely, the elder lady took our bags up to our room, very comfortable futons and pillows. Loved the bath! The room was a good size for 2 people.

ThailandWe had trouble with our air conditioning working which made it quite warm in the room as we tried to sleep. We were also unaware that the ryokan was closed on Sundays which meant we couldn’t keep our bags there after check-out.
The owners of the property were very kind and accommodating. The onsite onsen was lovely and it was so nice to try a traditional Japanese breakfast. The room was spacious and came with Yakutas which we could wear around the ryokan.

United StatesIt’s tucked away behind the market on a quiet street. We first took a bus to get there and rolled our suitcases over for a couple of minutes. When we left, we didn’t have luck hailing a taxi and Uber took an hour until a driver took our request
The location is right next to Nishiki market and only a 15 minute walk to Gion. The breakfast was delicious and a must experience!

GermanyThe people/family that are running this place were super nice and kind. The room was larger than excepted and exactly what we hoped for when looking for a ryokan to stay in. The location is quite convenient as well, close to some big shopping streets and lots of restaurants. Our short stay was an exceedingly pleasant experience and I'm very glad that we chose this place.

United StatesThis is very minor and not a big deal at all, but my room had the toilet and shower on opposite ends of the room, so had to cross the living room to get to the other part. Again, very minor, and it might have just been my room’s layout.
The owners of the ryokan were so friendly and really tried to make guests feel at home! I also enjoyed the delicious food at breakfast every morning (different menu everyday) and getting to relax in the bath after each day of exploring was awesome! The ryokan is also in a perfect location, close to Nishiki Market and transportation. Room was clean and it was actually really comfortable sleeping on the tatami.
