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.).

GermanyBreakfast was generally good, but I would like to have some real bread and some butter (no margerine)
According to my wish I got a (very) quiet room - thank you! The free choice of (additional) pillows. Everything was very clean.

United StatesOur room was a bit cramped for our 2 medium size luggage, but we made it work. Not bad for a Japan room.
The location was perfect, right across the street from the station. We were able to go to all places by jumping on the train or subways. I enjoyed using their public bath when my feet and legs were tired from walking uphill at the Tori gates and Monkey park. They gave us complimentary traditional Japanese socks. Fresh towels and mineral water bottles everyday. 7/11 and Family Mart was close by also.

United StatesThe outside sign was hard to see, the front door looks like a wall, not a door- walked past it twice before finding it. Almost like they don’t want you to notice it
Right across the street from Kyoto station- everything you could want nearby. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Comfy bed

United StatesAs am American, I'm used to large bathroom facilities. These bathrooms are like cruise shop bathrooms and are much to small for my liking, but this is the norm in japan. This is not a negative, just a personal preference.
The staff was amazing and super friendly! They were able to answer questions quickly and helped with local options for food, parking and attractions.

Czech RepublicThe room was tiny, but it was enough for 2 people. Not for 2 large bags anymore. Beds comfortable. I appreciate the cleanliness of the room and the location, right next to the main station, but at the same time there was not that much noise. The spa was perfect. It was nice that various extras were available for guests.

PhilippinesWe did not watch the tv as most of the channels were Japanese. They offer movies but need to pay for every watch.
I really like the hotel location!! nearest to the nearest to train station is what i want to call it. You just walk across from the station and that's it! You're already at your hotel. even though it's near to the main street and train station, noise is very minimal. You can still sleep and relax during your stay. Free coffee and the luggage locker! We were able to walk around the area before our next scheduled trip and leave our luggage even we already checked out!
