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.).

Shirasagi exceeded all my expectations. The location was great, the rooms were perfect for a family of five, the second floor was cozy and had a nice view of the river, and above all we appreciated the amazing hospitality and assistance by the host (sorry, I didn’t get her name). She offered to help with our luggage - both receiving it when we were on a trip and shipping it to our next destination. Probably the best service I’ve ever had and great communication too.

United StatesWhile the location was excellent for site seeing (walking distance to Kiyomizudera, Gion, Shirakawa lane, etc.), the home is located on a smaller road that various taxi drivers were unwilling to drive directly to. With or without luggage, this was not a problem since it's a short walk from the main road. This is not something we disliked, just information for future travelers to this amazing place.
I booked this home for my 5 person family travel to Kyoto. On the first floor, 2 of us used the bedroom with futons. 3 of us used the other bedroom with 2 beds and 1 sofa bed. The futons, beds and sofa bed were extremely comfortable (beds were on the firm side which is our preference). Each of the rooms contained humidifiers and had heated tatami flooring. Between the 5 of us, we needed more plugs to charge our devices, but ended up just unplugging existing lamps in each bedroom to do so. There was also a place to store our luggage so that we had more space in the bedrooms. The single shower/bath was smaller but functional while the sink area was fully stocked with amenities including yukatas and towels and bath mats for each night of our stay. The living space upstairs had a beautiful view of the river, a small dining table/2 chairs, and small functional kitchen. There was also an extra table and chairs to accommodate all 5 of us. The kitchen was stocked with bottles of water for each day and nice quality instant coffees and teas for all of us. Even the chinaware was fancy - Givenchy and Royal Copenhagen. This home was exceptionally clean - the cleanest home I've ever stayed in for travel. Every corner and crevice contained no dust. It was incredible how thoughtful and thorough the host was in creating this space for her guests. She provided a tour of the home with an explanation of how to use all of the appliances. She provided a Koto lesson and gave us recommendations of where to go to see the cherry blossoms. She thought of everything that we could possibly need and provided quality products in every way possible. Overall, we loved staying at Shirasagi Kyoto and look forward to staying here again!

AustraliaLeaving.
Tastefully appointed and fully equipped, had absolutely everything we needed. Most other Machiya appeared to have a dark interior, but this was fresh and bright (more to our taste). Flowers were even changed every 2 days. Peaceful view of the river, while we lazed in the living room upstairs, where we could see the Sakura in full bloom across the river. Several great cafes in the vicinity, literally a few houses away, which were recommended by our hostess.

What an incredible place and view we never seen. We stay home for a long time even we don’t want to leave. Duck/crane swimming in the river, and full Sakura view we can’t forget. Very nice host and service. Quiet location but we still enjoy with few cafe nearby. Definitely will go back to stay.

United StatesHow to check in was confusing at first and I did not know I needed to contact the host by email to coordinate the check in time. It was near perfect.
Everything is well thought out and the attention to design. The house is well equipped with comfortable accommodations.

Felt so warmly welcomed. And it was probably the cleanest hosted place (non hotel) I’ve ever stayed. I was briefly taught by the hosts how to play koto, it was such a wonderful experience. The view is also breathtaking and everything in the property was so comfortable. Highly recommended!
