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.).

AustraliaA little noisey from the station - but that’s to be expected being so close! The pillows were not great….. I’m being very fussy here!
Very close to the train station. Even with young kids (4 and 7) we could carry all our luggage from the station to the hotel. The staff was so very friendly and helped us book restaurants, make some suggestions and looked after some washing once it was done! The rooftop was a lovely place to go to watch the sun set! We stayed in a Pokémon themed room - the kids went mental over it! They loved the GIANT Snorlax in the room!

Location was great to allow access to station and not right in the middle of busy area. Staff were very helpful. Willing to book us in to a restaurant on our behalf.

United StatesThere is only one elevator so during peak times, you may have to wait a while for an elevator especially if you are on one of the middle floors. Comparatively, the room was on the smaller side for a Mimaru property, but it was still extremely comfortable.
Excellent location (minutes from Kyoto Station) with wonderful staff. Check-in is a breeze and the rooms, while a bit smaller than other Mimaru properties we have stayed at, were comfortable for our family of 7 (though our younger kids did enjoy the bunkbed setup). A 7-11 is right on the corner as well as some delicious restaurants within walking distance. We were on the tailend of our trip so we used laundry services which had larger machines that were close by. They also provide luggage storage services.

AustraliaJust a bit further from the action than we thought. A 40min walk to the Nishiki markets & Gion district - which is totally doable, easy & enjoyable for adults but our kids complained after a big day. Lots of public transport options to overcome this of course, but visiting during peak tourist times - walking was often better than braving the crowds on the bus & trains
All the Staff we encountered were lovely & very helpful. Hotel extremely close & convenient to Kyoto station & 7-11 for snacks & breakfast. Spotlessly clean. Stayed in the Pokémon room, which was a bit of a novelty for the kids & spacious

This was our second stay at a Mimaru during our Japan trip, and once again it did not disappoint. It’s conveniently located right across from Kyoto station. We stayed in an apartment style room, with bunk beds for the kids. It was really spacious, nice dining area and kitchen, big shower room and a separate toilet. There is a coin laundry which we used everyday, so handy. There are dryers available but we just hung everything in the room (there is plenty of hanging space) and it dried overnight. The staff are lovely and help with any request. Our room looked out over the road and onto the Shinkansen tracks, my husband loved watching them come and go. Noise not a problem when windows closed at night. There are heaps of restaurants and shops in Kyoto station, from convenience stores to designer brand shops. Can’t recommend Mimaru highly enough, they are a little more expensive than a standard room but definitely worth it especially if travelling with kids.

United StatesNothing we don’t like, though the laundry was heavily utilized so more machines would be great.
The location was perfect. We loved the room setup and believed it to be even better than the location we stayed in Tokyo as far as efficient use of space. It was clean and the staff were great. It was also much cleaner and more comfortable than the competitors MONday that we stayed at while in Japan.

United Statesno breakfast included (the sister hotel next door offered a very pricey buffet though).
The Pokemon room was a huge hit for my kids. The general layout of the room worked great for our 5 person family as well. Location was A+ as so many special Kyoto spots were a train ride away from Kyoto Station. It's quite a walk from the downtown area however.
