How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Air-conditioner noise - My family found some issues with the relatively loud air-conditioner/heater in our room, while it was alright for me as I am not a light sleeper! Some earbuds might help if you are a light sleeper! Security - the lift from the first floor was able to access the hotel room floors without a room key card, which was slightly worrying but the neighbourhood seems relatively safe and we were only staying for a few days, especially since we were staying as a group, so it wasn't too big a concern for us. NOTE! There is an additional accommodation tax per pax for each night, which added up to 1200 yen for my stay of 2 nights for 3 people. Not a big issue but just a note.
Booked a Standard Triple Room - Non-Smoking - No Daily Cleaning Spacious enough for my family and me to sleep in, sufficient space to sit around for meals and lay out luggage as well Great location - there were a couple of supermarts/convenience stores around us such as Fresco and Life, both of which provided a great variety of groceries and food, such that we didn't even need to eat out as there was a microwave on the hotel premises that we can use! (And the microwave is clean and well-maintained!) There are several metro stations (e.g. Karasuma Station) and bus stops nearby, pretty accessible but was a hassle to lug our luggage for that distance. A 15-min walk to Nishiki Market and plenty of nice restaurants around, there's even one right on the first floor of the hotel (but we didn't get to try as it seemed pricey). Free drinks from around 6am to 9pm - you can take these drinks away for the day and they actually taste pretty good, a much-appreciated service provided by Hotel Mystays🙏🏻 Staff - The check-in and check-out process was smooth, the staff are friendly and proficient enough in English for easy communication! They also allowed us to store our luggage for a couple of hours even after we've checked out which I greatly appreciate! Self-service necessities drawer on level 2 - The staff pointed out that we were able to collect some necessities such as combs, shavers, cotton kits etc. in the drawer next to the lift on level 2, which I thought was a brilliant move as guests can simply take what they need - less waste. Room temperature - We were worried about the room's temperature initially as the hotel mentioned that they use central heating and it won't be possible to adjust the temperatures ourselves, but the room was of a comfortable temperature and we had no issues with that.
