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.).

RomaniaThe only negative thing is that the window cannot be open, but I think this is something usual for Japan.
The hotel is 20 minutes walking distance from Gion, in a very quite, but also beautiful area, close to bus station and metro station. Also, 20 minutes walking distance to the central station. The hotel is very clean, everything seemed to be new, the room is bigger that the one we had in Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo. The bed was very comfortable and big, the bathroom had all the amenities you need.

AustraliaThe window on my room couldn't open and was locked. That's the only real issue I had.
Room was good, very clean, and in a decent location. Room size is pretty standard but you can store bags under the bed which helped a lot. The bed is more comfortable than most Japanese beds. Value for money is really the highlight here. It's a pretty decent hotel and very worth it in my opinion. It's about a 10-20 minute walk from Gion. They also have Netflix and YouTube for anyone who needs some downtime.

United StatesThis was my favorite hotel in my visit to Japan. All the hotel staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel and the room were very clean. The size was average for Japan but functional. They have the forward luggage service that is super useful when traveling within Japan. Also it's very well located between two subway stations.

United StatesWe stayed at Sotetsu Fresa in every city (Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka) for this trip and we like this one the most out of all three places. The room and bathroom seemed cleaner. The bed is definitely bigger and more comfortable. The room itself has a better layout where we can lay our two luggages flat. The location is pretty nice too. Not too far from the closest subway. Overall, I'm happy with my stay here.

CanadaNothing bad to talk about.
The location was very conveniently close to Gojo Station (about 5 minutes' walk), and about 20 minutes' walk to attractions like Kiyomizu Dera. There are also a variety of restaurants, convenience store and grocery stores around the area. My room was clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable - which was something to look forward to after long days of walking and sightseeing. All of the staff I encountered were very helpful and accommodating. They also arranged a luggage transfer to my hotel in Osaka, so it was much easier to travel between cities without worrying about carrying too many bags. I've traveled to a few cities already and this hotel was probably my favourite. I'll definitely keep it in mind on my next trip to Japan!

CanadaThe size of the room is pretty much standard so it’s a bit small with 4 luggage for 2 people. Thankfully we could store them underneath the bed.
The hotel was very clean, with friendly and helpful staff! The room was clean and had everything you needed (towels, hair dryer, mini fridge, TV, etc.). Amenities and pyjamas were provided on the lobby. The breakfast buffet was simply amazing, with both Japanese and Western options! The hotel is also in central Kyoto, and there are metro stations close by.
