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.).

To start with, the hotel is conveniently located near JR Tambaguchi Station and very much in the heart of Kyoto. The staff is very helpful and always ready to assist. The room was decent sized but organised efficiently to accommodate everything. The bed was king sized and super comfortable. Icing on the cake - outstanding free breakfast (at no extra cost).

Check in is 4 pm and check out is 10 am — this feels like a scam downright. The free breakfast is downright terrible for vegetarians. Like zero savoury options.
Spotlessly clean. Room was comfortable. Staff spoke English.

The location was a bit far from the station. Actually it is near the bus stop but personally I prefer using train.
The room was a bit spacious than other single room that I have tried in Tokyo and Osaka. It has got a large window so you can get the sunlight, though the view was to a car park.

Nothing to dislike but be aware that a bus, train or subway is needed to get to hotel from Kyoto station. The Bus is most convenient as there is a longer walk from the local station or subway.
Friendly welcome with facilities as expected. Bakery products included in breakfast service so catering for western preferences. Found vey good udon and okonomiyaki restaurants close by.

We enjoyed the breakfast spread very much, it was surprising as I was not expecting that it would be provided. The room was originally booked for one, but they were able to accommodate an additional traveler at a slight fee, which was great as the extra cost incurred from booking another hotel would’ve been way more costly. The room was also sufficiently cozy for two pax, and definitely very spacious for one. We were able to check in early and leave our luggage at the front desk too, which was helpful. Location was good, about 5 mins from 2-3 nearby bus stops. I also liked that there were USB ports available in the room.

You cannot be in your room between 10 and 15, and you don't have a sign to say that you don't care about housekeeping
Breakfast has plenty of choice and I enjoyed demolishing a plate of yakisoba in the morning. You can do laundry there which is very convenient
