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 StatesNo washer/dryer in the room, just something to be aware of. Location can be far from some attractions, but this is the case with anywhere in Kyoto.
My K House was very cozy and comfortable. The room was Japanese style with tatami mats and floor seating with low table and cushions. Perfect for 2 people, plenty of space for luggage. Bathroom was spacious with separate toilet, shower/bath, and sink areas. Location was convenient enough. Close to Gion and downtown shopping area. About 20 min walk to Yasaka pagoda, Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka, and a little further to Kiyomizu-dera. Kyoto attractions are spaced out so you have to pick which attractions you want to stay near and take transportation to the others. Alex was very kind and helpful during check-in.

DenmarkOnly nitty gritty stuff: there was draft/wind noise coming from the balkony door. However, it did not affect the temperature. In addition and maybe as a result of this the sound isolation from this direction towards the crowded street was not the best either.

IndonesiaThe temperature in the room is a bit too cold for us, but it's not a big deal at all.
Everything! We loved the room, it is spacious, clean, traditional combined with modern style, has complete amenities plus the kitchen stuff and washing machine. They have no staff in the property, but all went well so we didn't need further assistance. The staff, when we checked in, was nice and informative, he speaks English well (he's from Romania). The location is not bad at all, not in Gion district but close to, walking distance, as well as to Nishiki market. And the bus stop is just around the corner.

CanadaOne night, my wife was awakened by revelers passing by the hotel, but apart from that, the room was quiet. We found that the kitchen could use a few more kitchen utensils to be even more practical.
To obtain our room at My K House, we first came to the desk at the Kyoto Riverview House Kyoraku where the very friendly staff member checked us in and led us the 150 m to our room. Since we were staying in Kyoto for 6 nights, we found the kitchette quite useful to help us prepare some of our meals. There is a table in the room, but its height is as per Japanese custom. The bed was comfortable and the room well equipped. The hotel is well located, near a variety of restaurants and about a 10 min walk or less to a couple of subway stations. The nearest bus stop permits very handy access to the JR train station.

EgyptThere is no staff in the facility!! No reception. We arrived at noon and the cleaning lady was there. She was sweet but clueless. I simply needed a universal plug and a mug for coffee. Communication has to be done with a sister hotel reception three minutes walk from the property!! The staff in that hotel were very friendly and sweet. But, some had language limitations! I had to send my luggage to my next destination through 7/11 because they could not take my luggage before 9am!! I did not understand why should I wait in a reception of a sister hotel till 9am for my luggage to be sent! Luckily 7/11 solved the issue otherwise I would have missed my train. One last point to be noted. There’s no coffee provided in the kitchenette of the room. Only green tea. If you are a coffee lover, bring your coffee and mug.
I loved the room, the amenities, the thoughtful details. The location is perfect in a quiet street yet walking distance to temples, shopping and restaurants. It is also very close to Kyoto station which made it easy to travel to/from. 7/11 around the corner. For sports lovers, the river is around the corner for jogging, meditating or simply unwinding.

Love everything about it! The balcony, the rooms, the tatami mats, the bathroom, the location to Kamo River - which is a great stroll down during autumn. It’s a peaceful and quiet location, nearby halal places to patron. We really enjoyed our stay.
