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.).

United StatesThe futon took a little getting used to (i sleep on my side so it hurt my hips), but I still prefer it to a regular bed.
Everything. The staff was so thoughtful, the decor was very authentic and felt like home. The food was exceptional and the service was better than 5 star hotels. I wish to come back to this property for every trip to Kyoto

United StatesWe slept on the futons laid out on the tatami floors, and even with three pads underneath us, it was still a little bit uncomfortable for side sleepers. Wifi was also very flakey.
Great location, friendly staff, high quality meals. The kaiseki dinner was excellent, and the two breakfasts we had were both fresh and different. The public baths were very good and I appreciated the laundry machines as well.

United StatesWe really prefer a cold room to sleep in, since we were traveling in April it was a bit tough to get the room as cold as we wanted, but as stated, I like sub zero temps and it's a personal preference, not a fault of the hotel!
This was the perfect Ryokan for my needs. The breakfasts in the morning were incredible and varied per day. The hotel has a bit of wear and tear which we felt added to the charm and the staff were the BEST. It was close enough to downtown Kyoto to walk to everything we wanted to do, but quiet enough to get a good nights sleep.

A traditional Japanese ryokan experience. The staff very accommodating and friendly and the location was great. We had the kaiseki dinner which was delicious, as was the breakfast! Too much food was consumed, but our attendees were so lovely and friendly, they love the ryokan so much and want you to have a great time. Wearing the traditional costume adds to the experience. We didn’t have an onsen, but soaked in our bath tub instead. So grateful to have had this experience.

We had a kaiseki dinner that was delicious and the breakfast in the morning which was also very impressive. It was very clean and the bathes were very relaxing. The staff were very helpful and attentive. We have kids ages 11 and 7 and they had a wonderful time too. The area was easy to walk around and nearby shopping and public transportation.

ThailandThe water temperature was not constant. It was hot, too hot, too cold. The walking distance from subway station with luggage can be challenging.
The hotel was cute. It has everything you would expect for ryokan. The room was big comparing to Tokyo and self serve approach to collect yukata and toiletries were good. The staffs were very helpful and able to communicate well. The location is good but not great. It required a kind of walk which was a bit tired with luggage. However, I think I will choose this place again if I visit Kyoto.
