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.).

AustraliaThe bed ! But I think all beds in Japan are hard.
Great size room ! Well layed out. We got 2 pillows with out asking. Close to buses and train station.7/11 at the end of the street. Less than $20 in a taxi from Kyoto station. Would come back to stay.

United KingdomThe prices of the vending machine were slightly inflated compared to what you'd find on the street, in a train station or shopping complex. That being said, with the regular supply of water and convenience stores within a short walk, it was only a tiny nuisance (I hate paying more than I should do...).
First, let's start with the location - for me, it ticked all the boxes; fairly centrally located making all the main sights within Kyoto a reasonably equal travel time; it's only slightly away from an arterial road, giving both the convenience of good bus stops within a short walk (the best way to get around the city), all the while avoiding the noise of the cars at night (I prefer silence); in addition to the bus stops, it's proximity to Omiya and Shijo-Omiya stations means you've got cheap local trains that go directly to Osaka and Arashiyama respectively. Now the hotel itself - it was immaculate, the staff were lovely and the added perk of two water bottles being provided in the fridge (and kept in supply by housekeeping) was a welcome bonus. As a solo traveller the room was delightfully comfortable and reminded me of university dorm rooms. I do understand why some couples may find it a little crampt for their liking, but I must point out that there is plenty of storage space under the beds so tripping over suitcases can be avoided. In summary, this hotel is a convenient base of operations for exploring the nearby areas - it represents efficiency and economical comfort, but not luxury. I'd happily return should I get the opportunity to visit Kyoto again.

United KingdomThe hotel location is a bit far (15 minute walk) out but close to the station or bus stop. Not a major problem
The hotel was really clean, the atmosphere was really nice and I’m shocked this is only 3 star because it felt more like a 4 star. The cleaning service was great and the reception staff were lovely. Laundry facilities available. The rooms are one of the Larger ones we have stayed at in Japan and the bed linen was actually really nice. The mattress was comfortable too.

The hotel is located in a quiet lane in a nice area close to restaurants and public transport. Good supermarkets nearby. Walking distance to Nijo Castle. Good facilities including washing machines. Comfortable bed and small but nice bathroom The restaurants were local rather than touristy. One outstanding restaurant was Non-chan Teppanyaki on the Shijo Omiya corner. 5floor. Well worth a visit

Everything, the room is clean and comfy. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly (speaks good English too). Walking distance to bus stops, train stations & various food places. Also really near to a 7eleven but from my experience, the staff there were very rude, so I rather walk to the Family mart further away.

SwitzerlandNothing that they can really change but the bathrooms were very small and not much storage space. Although one good element to note is that they have space under the bed which was perfect for our luggage!
The staff and the general facilities were really great! We were in Japan for our honeymoon and the staff had prepared some cute deco which made us really happy! The location was ideal for us with of course 7/11, family marts around and also buses, metro stops at just a couple of minutes walk from the hotel. The location was quiet too so we were happy :) There was a little desk which was perfect as I had to work for a couple of evenings. Also the washing mashing and tumble drier were a great plus (you do need to pay yourself)!

IsraelThe only thing is that there is no breakfast.
Excellent hotel in a great location. At a 4-minute walk, there is a main bus station and at a 5-minute walk, there is a metro station. With the bus and metro stations you can reach the city center in 10 minutes. The hotel does not have a breakfast option, but there is a refrigerator in the room, so you can buy food at the supermarket and keep it in the refrigerator or walk to a coffee store that is located 4 minutes from the hotel. The hotel is quiet, you don't hear the noise between the rooms, the hotel staff is lovely and helps with anything you need. There is an option to keep belongings in the lobby. We took an 18 square meter room and it was excellent. A clean hotel, the room is fully cleaned once every three days, and towels are changed and the trash is emptied every day. We stayed at the hotel for a week and the price was excellent. Highly recommended!
