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 StatesIt's a little far from most train or bus stations, so be prepared to walk about 10 minutes in any direction.
The staff were all very kind and explained everything clearly. The food was amazing and the preparation by staff was excellent! We loved the tea ceremony they held for us at welcome/check in. The private onsen was a perfect size, clean, and we really enjoyed the tea inspired decor and snacks everywhere. The room was sooo spacious and it was stacked with complimentary snacks and drinks! We really enjoyed our stay! Thank so you much to the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

United StatesAs I mentioned, it's a bit farther removed in comparison to the typical popular sights to see in Kyoto. The hotel is public transit accessible, but it is a bit of walk (10-15 minutes) if you are coming from Kyoto station. The price is also on the higher end, but the value is WORTH IT. We had breakfast each morning and it was delicious each time.
Our stay at Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! Even before we arrived, the hotel was very responsive in answering my questions and helping me make reservations in Kyoto. Once we arrived, we were greeted with stunning hospitality and the friendly staff went over every detail of the property and the amenities offered. The property itself was beautiful--it is further north than most of the "action" and typical sightseeing spots, but it was a nice, quiet, and safe neighborhood and still accessible via public transit. I can't rave about this hotel enough, our family was blown away by the hospitality of the staff and the gorgeous property and rooms. Every thing was carefully thought about and every detail attended to, I would highly recommend a stay with Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo!

United StatesI'm struggling to come up with things that could be improved. I would have loved it if the ryokan offered to book other excursions or tours. If that was an option, I don't think we were made aware of that.
Our stay at Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was a truly wonderful experience that blended traditional Japanese hospitality with the luxuries of modern life. From the moment we checked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and refreshing cups of green tea, instantly making us feel welcome. Our room was a sanctuary of comfort, where traditional elements like tatami flooring met with modern amenities. Everything was spotless, and the climate control system ensured that the room was always at a comfortable temperature. To top it off, we booked in-room massages that exceeded our expectations in terms of skill and relaxation. Dining was another high point of our stay. The kaiseki dinner, with its fresh ingredients and expertly crafted dishes, turned each meal into a memorable event. From one course to the next, we were treated to a culinary journey that left a lasting impression. The location of Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was convenient for exploring local attractions, such as the nearby Nijo Castle. The absence of a natural onsen was offset by the availability of a well-maintained hot tub, which, while not traditional, still provided a soothing experience. In summary, our stay at Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo was enriching and comfortable, masterfully combining traditional Japanese elements with modern luxuries. We left the ryokan feeling relaxed and well-cared for, making it a place we'd highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Kyoto in a unique and luxurious setting. We can't wait to return for another memorable stay.
