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 beds were a bit firm for my liking but at the end of the day it is a subjective experience.
It was in a very convenient location to shops, restaurants, and bars. They had a good amount of amenities and the staff spoke good english. The room itself was clean.

We requested a quiet room and had no issues. No view from our room but we weren't in our room much anyways.
It was a convenient location to get to from the train station and is right in the middle of the main shopping areas. Our room met our needs and was quiet.

No room darkening curtains; carpets were beyond dirty; lacked washers and dryers - hotel only has two combined; mobility could be tough for some as you need to step up into bathroom. Glass door on bathroom. Only 1 pillow!
Loved the location close to shops, restaurants; buses and trains; had umbrellas for loan; the people at reception were so friendly and helpful. Air conditioning worked great in the room; room was quiet! Beds were super comfy!

Quite noisy in the evening due to pimped cars gathering in Kawaramachi street and speeding up in order to annoy all people with the noise for the fun of few jerks. I was surprised that the police never came to stop that The room is tiny with very limited space for luggage, nor any space to hang clothes, just one jacket. It gets very hot when the sun shines on the window
Top location Comfortable bed Very clean Staff very kind and aupporting

Would have been nice to be able to cast our phones to the TV so we could watch our own shows. The bed only had 1 tiny pillow per person, additional pillows would've been much better (or atleast as an option). More access to milk would be good. Powdered milk isn't great! We were there for a 4 night stay and rooms in Japan get cleaned on the 3rd day, it would've been nice for this to be changed so we were cleaned halfway through our stay inside.
Lovely room, our most spacious out of the 3 hotels we used. Wonderful location, 5 mins from Pontocho road and Nishika market. Lots of shops nearby too. Also right next to a lovely river. A bit far from Kyoto station but worth it as there's less sights to see more central. <30 mins from Kyomizu-dera and Fushimi-inari too. Comfortable bed, the shower room is super efficient on space. It's nice to have a mirror that's warm so you can use it in a steamy bathroom. Nice to have kettle and hairdryer in room. The pyjamas were also nice, super comfortable. Great Aircon and able to open windows for fresh air.

1/ Restaurant for buffet breakfast is too small and food quality is poor. A simple breakfast would be better. 2/ There are only 2 short clothes hanger bars mounted loosely on a wooden panel. They are not strong enough to hold winter clothes. They did come off during our 5-night stay and were fixed by housekeeping.
