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.).

AustraliaWish it was a bit clearer to us we needed to book the traditional meal in the room early, it had booked out when we arrived :(
Luxurious feeling, extremely comfortable futons (duvet was like a cloud), lovely baths, delicious traditional breakfast, lots of little comforts (packs for onsen, matcha on arrival, gift upon leaving), good location for shopping, food and transport

Czech RepublicVery lovely experience in center of Kyoto. Staff is very kind and respectfull. Dinner on room was very tasty and refreshing, maybe a bit more pricier. Onsen is amazing. Lot of amenities on room. We were given a earlier breakfast on request. A bit more modern ryokan than most I visited Older lady serving golf was lovely!

United StatesIt's uniquely different from any typical hotel. It has a boutique feel that captures the traditional style of living. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. You even get a special introductory welcome when you first check-in, which was a nice fun touch. The location of the hotel is pretty on point, since it's in a prime area for shopping and eating.

United StatesI enjoyed the whole ryokan-style experience and can't think of any significant detractions.
The location is decent, downtown Kyoto and fairly accessible. Japanese breakfast included is great, as is the onsen, which includes both a jet and bubble tub. Clean and staff very hospitable (it was raining and someone shook, dried, and folded our umbrellas for us). A little take-home bag is provided to guests in their rooms.

The staff were all very warm and welcoming. They helped my family find a wheelchair and taxi for me when I needed to go to the hospital with a high fever and shortness of breath. The welcoming with tea and cookies and goodbye gifts of beautiful chopsticks were wonderful!! A very nice location also in a charming and quiet part of Kyoto!!

SingaporeWhen comparing to some other hotels, onsen/sento baths could have been better. Just a bath and no restroom to sit a relax a bit. No cold bath, no sauna. Just good to come wash and go. Expected a bit more from such a hotel.
The staff are absolutely amazing, the breakfast is out of the world and very interesting experience. Room was big, location is very convenient. Everything for a good stay.

ItalyThe ryokan is very big and clean. The room is enourmous with bed and table always ready (so you don't need the staff to prepare the bed for for you as the room is big enough). The staff was super nice and they gave us a lot of "small" gifts. Very apreciated. The location is central and well connected for visiting Kyoto

Beautiful ryokan, cared for in every detail with onsen available and located in an area full of shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and the futons were very comfortable. At the check-in they offered us as a welcome sweets and matcha tea, at check-out they left us a little thought. In the room possibility to wear yukata. Exceptional typical breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel for what felt like a more traditional experience.
