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.).

AustraliaBeautifully appointed room, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. It was great to be able to use the free laundry downstairs so we could get our washing back under control after a couple of weeks travelling. Within easy walking distance of the markets, old town and the parts of Kyoto that visitors explore. A bit further to walk to the station but still OK.

United StatesThe machiya was quietly tucked away from the busy streets. It was a central location with easy walking access to the Karasuma line, Hankyu Kyoto line, Gion district, and Kamo River. The room was large and comfortable and we loved having access to complimentary 24-hour coffee and tea, as well as laundry during our stay.

CanadaSuite I stayed adjoins to neighbouring suite, which is fine, since doors lock on both side. Could hear coughing and talking from neighbouring suite, though wasn't really an issue for me. If you're sensitive to noise, recommend asking staff for a quieter stuite.
Great facilities (e.g. laundry, tea lounge), great value, well located, helpful staff. Great stay that exceeded expectations.

AustraliaNothing.
This was a traditional Ryokan style and we stayed in what was probably a smaller suite. It was a bit tricky with suitcases and show removal with 3 people in a small area (neither shoes nor cases are allowed in the living area of the room - they are left in a small entrance within your room). For this reason, it could be a good idea to price up for a bigger room if there are 3 or more of you, bearing in mind it becomes a bit more expensive. There was an external laundry which worked well. Reception were lovely, very helpful. The Ryokan is situated in a lovely, quiet area of Kyoto. Very traditional and nice to walk around, we found an excellent Katsudon restaurant within 5-7 minutes walking distance. In general, the location was a bit further from Gion and surrounds but walkable. Our room had a beautiful private garden with water feature and traditional sitting areas. Lovely, albeit small, bathroom. We walked from Kyoto station to the Ryokan and it took about 30 minutes but flat ground all the way.
