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.).

GermanyThe floor of my room had hairs from previous guests and there wasn’t conditioner at the shower.
The location was incredible, around of one of the most beautiful areas of Kyoto city. Also the facilities were great. The room size for one person is really good if you didn’t over pack.

GermanyThe best Hostel I ever stayed in. The pods are small but well-designed rooms with enough space to change and organize luggage. The elevated platform is a great way of creating storage space and making the futon experience very inviting. During my trip to Japan, I also stayed at a hotel, and two other Hostels - The Pocket had, surprisingly, the most comfortable mattress. I loved folding my bed, making space for my little table and chilling in my personal space after walking so much in Kyoto. The women's bathrooms are amazing, I did laundry in the bigger one on the ground floor but mostly used the one on the women's floor. The lighting for makeup is amazing and it was spotless. Very well-equipped and clean place overall. I will recommend this to any friends travelling to Kyoto, great price for what you are getting.

GermanyThere was not much space in the room for the luggage. I was travelling with a medium suitcase, but it was difficult to open the door. The breakfast was awful. One day i missed it, because i went to the cafe and the queue was so long that i would not have made it. Definitely should have skipped this.
Location was good, and the bathrooms were clean and had all the amenitites needed. I was able to send my bag ahead from Tokyo. Unfortunately they could not send onwards, and the place across the road said it would take 3 days to deliver to Osaka, so i skipped that. The property was good, but the price was a lot more than it was worth...

Very clean, central and affordable. This is an exemplary budget motel. Rooms are small, but typical for this price range. Everything smells fresh and clean. The shared amenities are also great. Perhaps the most appreciated aspect of staying here is the sound proofing in the rooms. Very quiet.

New ZealandObviously I knew booking a pocket hotel the rooms weren’t big, so of course they were a little squishy. But I wouldn’t say I didn’t like this, but maybe some people might.
The location was great, in a vibrant area and close to lots of sights. It was modern, fresh and had very friendly staff who were welcoming and helpful. Everything was super clean and secure, you needed your keycard wherever you went which made it feel safe.

United KingdomFor the amount of guests (during golden week), probably not enough showers available as during crunch hours (8-10PM) there was always a queue in the men’s showers.
Great place, automated check in procedure maybe a little rusty, but there’s always staff to help. Rooms on the smaller side, but not really an issue.

United KingdomThe property was easy to find coming from Kyoto Station and it is a road away from a big shopping street with a few cafes, bars and restaurants. There’s also a lot of bus stops which can be accessed. Check-in was very easy to complete and the staff are ready to help. The shared showers (separated by gender) were on the first floor and were very spacious with a lot of individual showers available to use. The hotel provided pyjamas and other amenities, in the shared lounge area there’s also multiple maps and guides to places nearby. The room was great and clean, with information booklet provided. The breakfast place was also just a few meters away on foot and the meal deals were also very nice.

New ZealandNothing really.. if they have any bigger 4 person room setting without the connecting room mode, that would make it perfect if there is a family or a bigger group..
round the corner from Nishiki market.. at the heart of bustling Kyoto.. near to everything.. from kombini to takashimaya.. from Nintendo to Pokemon centre.. Food wise, no worries from breakfast to dinners.. and you're spoilt for choice..
