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.).

JapanThe pillows were a bit stiff and the futons were harder than others I've used.
This house was really nice and had a great layout. The bath was nice and the little garden you could see from the dining area was cool. Good location if you don't mind walking a little to get back to the main area.

MalaysiaThe main door is very tight, small and narrow. Therefore we had to use the slidding door of the room at first floor to enter the house.
A unique experience of staying in a traditional house. Love the refurbished interior.

SingaporeA little further away from train station.
Located not far from Kyoto station but walking is probably 20-25 minutes away. Quiet place in a local residential area. Safe place.

AustraliaIt'd be nice if there was a USB power point for the overseas travellers :) we asked the Rinn reception for a portable one but they didn't have one for hire at the time.
A beautifully appointed house with a mix of old and new. The tatami aroma and the zen garden made me feel instantly relaxed coming from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. A tranquil gem!

KuwaitI was 100% satisfied, though I wished the check out time was a bit later so we can enjoy a leisurely morning.
Great place, traditional architecture, amazing natural hot spring water, great traditional food which you could ask to change due to dietary restrictions at extra charge. If you don't have a car, ask the information desk at the main station so they can send you a free ride to their hotel.

United StatesThe paid-for taxi ride from reception to the property was very helpful on the first day. Neighborhood was quiet and it felt like we lived there. It was nice to feel like we were coming home to a friend's house and our favorite part was resting in the tatami room in the mornings and evenings.

AustriaUnfortunately, the check-in time is late (3pm) and the check-out time early (10am). If you want to use 3 bedrooms when travelling with friends/ colleagues you have to ask for an extra bedding and tatami mat to be prepared against a charge.
The location of the house was good, between the main train station and the center of Kyoto. It is a 20min walk to the main attractions of Kyoto. The house has a sufficient size. During the winter time heating via the air condition is provided and sufficient for most rooms. However, it was very cold in the bathroom. The key collection was at the Rinn hotel near the station, which makes for an extra stop before reaching the house. Some restaurants are close by.

SingaporeNothing! Everything was perfect.
A whole house to ourselves. the property was very new and kept superbly clean. Loved the lovely Japanese-style interior with full on tatami and futons down to the cozy living area. bathroom came with a tub to soak away the fatigue from a long day of travelling. Location was great - could have walked to Kyoto station though we did not try. Metro station Gojo was a 10min stroll away. We are a family of 4 adults and we’re very comfortable and impressed with our stay here.

CanadaRooms have very low sound and light isolation because of the roots in an older building, so hopefully your group will go to bed at the same time. Watch your head if you’re taller than 5’10”!
Nice to have a bit more space to stretch out in than a hotel room. being in a renovated machiya was very charming. Location very convenient for the station or downtown (~15 minute walk each way) laundry machine very handy.

JapanNothing I can think. But if you have a little toddler, this might not be a good place to stay because staircase is pretty steep.
It was very cozy and comfortable. Much more spacious than staying hotel. Our kids (11 and 7 years old) loved to stay here.
