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 KingdomHard to fault really. The ground floor restaurant was a little overpriced for a buffet style, although the range of food offered was great.
Our Family room had two separate areas which was a nice surprise, a bed area and a living area. The pool was warm and quiet, and the restaurant at the top revolved! Giving an amazing view of Kyoto as we had breakfast. There is a shuttle bus to the train station, although it's not far to walk (10 mins). This Hotel has everything you could wish for.

Great Hotel, near train station. Shuttle service was super convenient and reliable, with services available on a regular basis. Excellent food and unbelievable views from the 360 rotating restaurant! The lady at the front desk recommending/advising on how to get around Kyoto was very professional. Good powerful shower system.

AustriaThe single thing which we did not like was that we did not receive any pijamas for sleep :) it was the single hotel in Japan where we stayed, in which we did not get pijamas…
The location of the hotel is perfect for those who want to be minutes away from Kyoto Central Station. The bed was very confortable, the tv very big, the room size overall good. We had a coffee machine and they supplied us daily with coffee and we loved that we could drink our coffee from bed everyday. The toiletries in the room were also great and diverse. We had access to the hotel pool and that was also great, big and very relaxing. Moreover, there are many very good restaurants accesible directly from the hotel.

AustraliaBreakfast was pretty good. Got a pretty good selection to choose from. They also have 2 different levels for different type of breakfast according to your liking. My boyfriend proposed to me in the hotel, the reception did well in hiding his plans & opening the door for the photographers & event planners to enter while we were out.

United KingdomUnfortunately the fitness suite and swimming pool opening times were 1:30pm-8:30pm which meant we had to replan our itinerary to come back during the day to use it or cut a couple days short to use it before going out for dinner.
The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. There was an ice machine and drinking water refill station on each floor which was fantastic! The rooms were a very good size with a lot of amenities. The fitness suite was a little bit small but had all the main equipment needed for a good workout and the swimming pool and jacuzzi were excellent. The location was excellent with most large tourist sights within 1hr by public transport or 30mins by taxi, Kyoto station was less than a 10min walk and there was always at least 1 taxi at the front door. The luggage transport system in Japan is a fantastic tool which I will be looking for on other holidays now.

United StatesIt is a long walk to the nearby train station so be prepared to go back and forth.
Breakfast buffet was excellent as expected. However, they did not have the all day dining as was suggested online. Instead, dinner is only available between 5 and 7-8pm or so. The hotel is quiet and soundproofing was great. It is relatively newer and I really appreciate the ability to refill water on the floor with a water dispenser as this not only saves a trip to the convenience store but also helped minimize plastic waste.
