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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 staircases were not available so had to take the elevator all the time
The location is superb, and just 100 feet away from the Nikishi market. The room is small, but very functional. The best part was the small washing machine, which was quite handy considering how hot Japan was and we went through quite a few shirts

SwedenI consider myself quite experienced with finding hotels that meet my expectations. And once in a while I find gems that exceed these expectations. This place is definitely one of them. Welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Spotless cleaning. It is located in the heart of the city but yet on a very calm street. The room was very spacious, uncommonly large for Japanese standards. The bed was so comfortable. It was very convenient to have the laundry machine in the room. There is even a kitchenette, if needed. I know where to stay next time I visit Kyoto again.

For a small space (which is typical of rooms in Japanese cities) it was very well designed and laid-out. Everything is modern and works well. Great hosts, location etc.

United StatesCheck-out was at 10 am.
Awesome hotel with: - convenience of location, allowing walkable and easy access to markets, trains, buses, restaurants, and shopping malls. - the staff were helpful and friendly. - room was spacious, had a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom, microwave, kitchen sink, and fridge - Stored our luggage for a few hrs(available until 10 p.m.) after checkout and while we roamed around Kyoto. Although there were no water bottles in the fridge, they provided water and tea at reception. This is the best hotel we have stayed at in Japan. Will definitely come back for our next visit to Kyoto.

United StatesThey aren’t in every city. I really can’t think of a negative thing to say! It was such an incredible experience hospitality wise.
Not only is the room super comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. But the staff and owners are so hospitable and willing to help you with anything you may need. The customer service is impeccable with an English speaking staff. The location is perfect walking distance from nearly everything. Can’t recommend this property enough

United StatesWe loved everything!
Central location, very clean, washer, efficient dryer function in bathroom clothes dried within 1-3 hours depending on fabric type)…but it was the owners and staff that really made our stay so special. They were so warm and welcoming. They treated us like their family, daily conversations at the lobby, their recommendations, and daily giving us directions how to go anywhere. They’re located only 2-3 buildings away from Nishiki Market. My 8 year old daughter and I stayed at their smallest room (with 1 double bed). It was small and very smart use of the space. It was very clean and amazing water pressure in the shower. They also provide cold water in the lobby, so we refilled our water bottles and also the pitcher from the room.

United StatesJust perfect!
Best hotel we stayed in for all our travels in Japan. Love that the room had its own washing machine and a shower room with various functions (such as strong ventilation mode for the hot showers or a drying function to hang up your clothes to dry fast). Also, the staff spoke great English to assist foreigners. Bathrooms had large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. AC was very strong as well.

ChinaWe had an amazing time! Thanks to the wonderful innkeepers and all the helpful staff. The room was spotless and well-equipped with a microwave, washing machine and dryer. There was no extra charge for this. The bedrooms were also very shaded at night. What impressed us the most was the excellent communication from the inn. When we left on our last day, the hostel owner gave us a very convenient route to the airport, which saved us a lot of trouble!
