How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Air-conditioning throughout the hotel is centrally-controlled, so guests are unable to turn the temperature up or down. When we checked in, it was incredibly hot and stuffy and we were a bit anxious that we'd be unable to sleep. We asked the hotel if there were any additional cooling options and they offered to turn the thermostat of the whole hotel down. It was pleasant after that, but we would have preferred controlling the temperature of our room directly.
The hotel is in a good location in the Sannomiya area, close to shops, good restaurants and everything you could possibly need. A 5-10 minute walk to Chinatown. The rooms were a bit bigger than most hotels we encountered in Japan, and whilst the beds were very firm, they were comfortable. Guests can make coffee in the lobby whenever they like, and there are free donuts each afternoon, which was a nice bonus. Breakfast was good, with a decent range of Japanese and Western options.

I have a daughter in a wheelchair. The hotel is somewhat accessible. To get to the lobby, you would need to climb up several steps of stairs or a very steep ramp then ride an escalator to the 2nd floor. In a wheelchair, there is a private elevator but someone would need to go up to the lobby to find a staff to lead you. The road to the elevator itself is a bit rough as you would need to go uphill. The door to the bathroom in the room is also a step up to get to.
Abundance of access to hot water. Rooms are warm and very clean. Very good location, nearby many convenience stores, restaurants and about 7-10 mins walk to Sannomiya St. or Motomachi St. The staff are incredibly helpful. They have trouble speaking English but google translate is very helpful in this case. Absolutely worth every penny.

Nothing. Will come back next time
We stayed in a standard room for 3 nights then superior room for 5 nights later in the month. The standard room was good enough and the superior room was thankful way larger with spacious bathroom which we appreciated a lot with our numerous luggages at the end of 3 weeks' travel. Ideally located, in convenient central area and easy walk to airport limousine bus stop.

The air-con was central control, So it can get quite cold at night.
Location - Hotel is located near the JR station and the Sannomiya Station. So arriving from Osaka, it is a easy walk to the hotel. Going by train to Rokka san is also easy from the nearby Sannomiya Station, Food around - there are plenty of convenience stores and eateries around the hotel - ramen, kobe beef, sweets, and the longest shopping street I've seen in Japan. The hotel also offers free coffee that I find to my taste. It also provides free mini doughnuts at around check in time. Both rooms that I stayed in were very cosy, I had 2 single beds although I was travelling alone. Free amenities are available at the 2nd level check in area so that you can pick up for use in the room

Just with a baby & stroller it was hard with no elevator up to reception, only escalators for anyone that needed to know, maybe I missed it on the description.
Close to train/bus station, good location and lots of food variety close by. Bustling little spot, accommodation was fine for 1 night, comfortable bed, spacious room & nice bathroom with amenities. Affordable, and breakfast was nice.
