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.).

IndonesiaThe location is actually quite far from the station and the road is quite deserted at night. Better to take the front road near big street rather than the back road which pass the rihga hotel but it's walkable with large suitcases from Kyoto Station. The AC, I don't know why I can't setup the AC to cooling mode only. It's on automatic mode so at first night the room become so hot, the second night the room is so cold. Maybe giving a manual on how to operate the AC The step in laundry room. We almost fell twice on that step because we forgot.
The room size is really nice, it's clean, homey, feels japanese. No housekeeping (every 3 nights) but you can asked for garbage collection, change of towel and extra amenities are provided in lobby and it's kinda like an exclusive hotel with only 6 room for each floor so it fell really nice. There's a window in the room and if you close it, it's really soundproof inside eventhough it's noisy outside. I like how there's somekind of mosquitos net outside the window so I feel safe opening the windows everyday.

AustraliaA slight distance from the train station, but actually closer than I thought.
We stayed with our family of 3 adults and 2 kids. The rooms were very big, facilities were very clean and nice. The beds were very comfy and the tatami and futons were also great (kids ended up just wanting to sleep on the futons). The staff were super friendly and also were able to help us do luggage delivery. Amenities had everything we needed.

AustraliaIt is about 900m walk to Kyoto station, so it’s a little tucked away.
Very nice little ryokan with hotel quality. We were greeted by friendly staff. Great customer service. Room is very clean. Surprisingly quite spacious. We like this ryokan and will definitely come again if we ever visit Kyoto again.

MexicoNothing, it was a wonderfull experience.
The space of the room was the biggest of all the hotels we stayed at in Japan. We loved the proximity to the train station, since we used Kyoto as a base so we could travel fast from it to the surrounding cities. The staff was nice, and it was always clean. Best decision we made in our trip.

Close to kyoto station (10 minutes walk) make sure you follow the hachijo west exit. It's a very easy walk from the hotel to the station. The room was big, clean and have all the basic amenities. If you're staying less than 4 days, there is no daily room cleaning (which we don't mind). You are free to stock up on any amenities at the front. Love how it's traditional and modern. Will definitely stay here again

SingaporeNo daily cleaning or breakfast. Not a big deal because they clear your dustbins if you put it outside and you can change towels if you’d like… location wise, there isn’t much in the immediate area..about 10min walk to Toji temple or Kyoto station. Floors could be slightly thin so you hear upstairs dwellers in the morning. They offer ear plugs in the lobby. Overall, no big problems.
Very spacious room with 4 beds. Toilet was big too. Hotel was always warm and scented when we returned and it felt homely. Seems rather new and we liked it!
