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.).

The wardrobe was tiny and we could not really unpack our things. The breakfast had limited options. I would add more fresh vegetables. The pillows were too flat for my taste. The cleaning service could be better as there was some glitter under our bed left by the previous guests.
The hotel is located just a few steps from the Senso-ji Temple and is easy to reach from both airports. It has a beautiful view over the shrine and Tokyo Skytree. The staff was helpful and spoke good English.

A small remark would be that our room could benefit from renovation at some point. It is very clean but looked a bit dated.
Great location, next to everything in Asakusa as well as metro / Narita metro (Access Tokyu line). Fantastic view frm lobby and observation deck. Super spacious room for Tokyo, great staff.

Husband and I stayed for 2 nights. We had a comfortable stay - room was great and staff were friendly. Special mention to the great view of asakusa from the 13th floor lobby, and the location was convenient (walking distance to the metro). Do try the breakfast if you can, it was a great way to start the say! Lovely stay overall.

Petty much perfect and as expected. Check out timings could be a bit better, but unfortunately they do not allow for a much later check out - though they will hold your bags for you.
An amazing room with a modern vibe, located in the heart of Asakusa. Mere minutes away from a 7/11, and Kaminarimon, as well as the Mameshiba dog cafe. Fantastic amenities, and a great sky balcony as well to enjoy the view.

The WiFi was not strong and fast.
The hotel is very close to Sensoji and it has a great view from the top floor lobby and from the rooftop terrace of both Sensoji and the Skytree. The restaurant was good. We stayed there to be close to the Tobu Asakusa station as we scheduled a trip on the Spacia X train to Nikko.

Limited restaurant menu that wouldn't have been an issue if it hadn't been pouring with rain. Location offered plenty of choice! Probably unfair to criticise due to weather!!
Great location near temples and River for cruises. Beautiful roof garden and bar but couldn't appreciate it due to rain Great staff! But that seems to be standard in Japan.!!! 2 minute walk to temples and river port

The breakfast left a bit to be desired, it was a combination of a la carte with a choice of three main menu item. I wish it had been more of a traditional Japanese breakfast, I found the French toast to be quite soggy. If you don’t mind the limited options then you’ll be fine.
The location cannot be beat and the views from the terrace are simply incredible. Staff is accommodating and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay. We were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and they offered a number of unique ways to make our stay special! That was so appreciated. At breakfast they had fresh squeezed orange juice and incredible locally source honey.
