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.).

GermanyBathroom setup unfortunately doesn't match room design (looks more like a hospital bath), view from the room (depending on room to be fair - our suite #202 faced neighbouring walls, but not a big deal since we've been out all day), the intermittent generator noise was a bit of a nuisance and the owner should really consider relocating it, or at least switching it off during the night/early morning hours
Nice boutique hotel in a great location (right across imperial palace and within short walk of bus and JR stations), sbove average room size (executive suite), room design, cleanliness, breakfast as well as super friendly and helpful staff

The breakfast in the hotel is really an experience. I do recommend the japanese style choice. The room is spacious, super clean and quiet. Minibar is all inclusive Staff is super friendly and definitely I would stay there again once I'm back in Kyoto

MexicoThere was a constant noise coming from a heater or some kind of motor outside. Also the space was weirdly organized, a small toilet with a small sink in a huge empty bathroom. A big tv facing off the bed so you needed to sit in a very small bench to watch it.
Great concept, every room is unique and it has a whole feeling of luxury. Our room had a jacuzzi and a king size bed, with a lot of space, and some complimentary drinks and chocolate.

GermanyWe arrived shortly before lunch time and far too early for a welcome drinks were served. After a first sight seeing tour and too late for the official Welcome Drinks, they offered us to serve it to our room - very nice. The location of the hotel is great, a lot of nice small restaurants are in walking distance, also the public transportation is just around the corner. Very quiet venue. Great place to stay in Kyoto

I love how near it is to points of interest. Walking distance to the kyoto palace & gardens & restaurants. The rooms were very beautiful and much larger than most japan hotels. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful, honest and hospitable. I overpaid upon check out and they sent me the amount thru registered mail to my next hotel in osaka. Wonderful staff!

United StatesThere was nothing we didn’t like! It was great.
This hotel was fantastic. There was a review that said this place was in the middle of nowhere “with nothing around it”. This hotel is literally across the street from the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Gardens, and surrounded by streets of bakeries and restaurants. It only took us about 15 minutes to get to the Gion district. The staff at this hotel were extremely helpful and sweet, and the room was beautiful and huge.

United KingdomNothing to dislike but to be aware that it is about four or five subway stops from the main station in Kyoto (which is an attraction in itself). However, the immediate location around the hotel had good restaurants and shops and was a short walk to the Emperors Palace gardens and a similar distance to the attractive river that runs through the city.
Stylish design which could be described as quirky in a good location to explore that area of the city. Also a small hotel - which we like - which was quiet with very helpful staff. Very good breakfast in a nicely styled dining room.

AustraliaOur room did not have a view as the hotel is set amongst local buildings and had frosted windows. Although there is a terrace on the top floor, I like to be able to see outside from my room. Having a coffee machine was great but milk/cream was not available in the room which meant I had to keep asking for it. We also did not have any black tea
We stayed in the suite which was very large and tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable and big. The spa was the most comfortable I have ever used. The staff were lovely and accommodating. The hotel is set in suburbia but we found this was great as we enjoyed walking around and observing the daily lives of the locals. It is located approximately 30 mins walking distance to the Gion district and around 15 mins to Teramachi, restaurants and shops. 15 mins walk to the local train and close to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
