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.).

KosovoWe had some difficulty using the laundry service because one of the machines was broken. Reception promptly refunded our laundry coins which we used on another machine. However, when using the dryer, our clothes did not dry completely, so we had to hang our clothes in our room for a few more days. We would have appreciated USB ports in our room as we had to buy a converter for the Japanese sockets, which we had to share among multiple devices.
The location is great—it's on a quiet street right off the main street, connecting all the main Kyoto attractions. We enjoyed staying in our room. The hotel offered lots of amenities, including razors, combs and toothbrushes. We particularly liked access to cold water and an ice machine to fill our bottles before heading out for sightseeing.

United KingdomAs with most Japanese Hotel room it was on the small side, The English of the the reception wasnt up to much and the hotel doesnt operate the Baggage transfer....Although 2 minutes round the corner Lawson shop does
The location is 3 mins walk from Shijo station and Nsiki Market, Not quite a 'Luxury; hotel but not at budget status either, Clean room however as per most Japanese Hotel rooms fairly small. Quiet though didnt really hear any other residents. Locally right opposite a 7/11 and round the corner from a Lawson Shop. Resturants are scattered around and you should easily get in.....Althought to stop down on the subway is Kyoto main station that has numerous Resturants a stones throw away

AustraliaWhen we first arrived we were given a room with opaque windows, impossible to see through that could not be opened. I requested a change of room, explaining that I could not stay in such a small room without either being able to open the window or see out of it. At first denied, eventually moved to another room after showing that rooms on the website show clear windows and that is what I had booked. Rooms pretty small - a bit of a squeeze for two people and luggage.
Excellent location - close to restaurants, shops and transport.

SpainProbably something cultural, but it was strange that they left a note for us saying they had not done the bed because there were personal belongings (a pijama) over the bed and their policy is not to touch anything. This has never happened to me anywhere else in the world.
Great location just beside a main street and close to underground and buses, combini next to the hotel. Front desk people were helpful. They advised us on how to send the suitcase to our next location. Room was nice, not big, but Japan usual. Well designed for comfort. Bed was comfortable.
