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.).

NetherlandsThe room is a little bit small for a family of 4. We were missing space for our suitcases. But nevertheless, the room was neat and tidy.
The staff was very friendly and were very helpful. Very good service. Loved the interior of the rooms. Even though there was no window in the room, the room was fresh.

PortugalGreat location. Super friendly staff. Facilities with laundry and microwave. Free drinks was a wonderful bonus. Rooms are small, japanese style, but very comfortable and you have space to storage everything. We had 2 big and 2 small pieces of luggage and there was space to move. Breakfast was super simple, but enough to fill you in.

NetherlandsThe room is very small and because of the tatami mats there is almost no space to open a suitcase. Annoying if you stay for a short time and don’t want to unpack everything, as you have to pack up your suitcase any time you want to go out or use the bathroom. Even though I had a no-view room (window facing the wall of the building next door), it was not really dark inside the room at night because of light from lamps in the street. Not recommended for tall people, as the bed is quite short and if you’re close to 2m you’ll probably hit your head on the ceiling in the shower. Breakfast was very basic, American style. Free, but not much choice. If you stay multiple nights, you probably won’t want to eat breakfast here every day.
Good location, close to subway and with many restaurants and supermarkets in the street. Nice bathtub and shower too. Bed was small but comfortable. Overall a decent place to stay.

The position was great to sightsee all over town. The staff was very helpful in giving me information to reach where I needed to go. They also kept my luggage both before check in and after check out. Very comfortable bed!

PhilippinesThere was a 200 per day tax charge at the hotel. But I think it is the same everywhere in Kyoto. Plus, room cleaning service is only done once every three days.
I liked the room. It felt very traditional with a modern feel to it.

GermanyUnfortunately, the train station right downstairs was not so convenient with big luggages to get to the Kansai airport. Good news is that the hotel can arrange reliable luggage delivery to Kyoto station which was a lifesaver for a solo traveller with big luggages!
Everything (check in/out, luggage delivery service) was smooth. Room was clean and beds were very comfortable. Walkable to many places. The breakfast was also a nice touch! Even though the window didn’t have a view (faced the walls), the hotel does an excellent job with lighting so the room was quite cosy. It was a bit inconvenient that the luggages cannot be on the tatami mats, but completely understandable since the hotels are generally not that spacious in downtown areas.

JapanThe only thing I didn’t like was the breakfast, being in Japan, I expect the breakfast being Japanese style. But it was just sausage, bread and pasta. And it’s small. For its price I guess it’s ok, but would like something Japanese.
The location is really good, it’s walking distance to most of the famous tourist spots. The hotel itself is also good for its price. Simple and great

NetherlandsThe beds were really comfy. There were thick mattresses laid directly on the tatami but they were super comfy. The location is perfect just outside the busy old town. It's a great location for sightseeing. Breakfast was correct, nothing special but it was included. I love that every hotel in Japan, has all you need in your cosy little room. Shower gels and shampoo are always good quality, not cheap stuff.
