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.).

JapanA little bit far from the train station for me having a small baby and lots of luggage. But for the average traveler it’s fine.
Staff were nice, rooms were a good size, laundry, microwave and cold water facilities.

JapanLocation was a bit far. Check-in staff was good but the next day, there was a staff that kept gossiping on the phones for so long that no matter no many times I called, she still kept talking and being ignorant to her job as at that time, she was the only staff in the reception area.

AustraliaThe beds were definitely on the hard side! Also, I’m not sure why you would have an internal smoking room on the ground floor near the entrance when outdoors is 10 steps away. Residual smoke stank out the ground floor and was quite offensive.
Location was OK - about a 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, so long as you came out of the same exit every time…which never happened! Quiet neighbourhood with some decent restaurants a short walk away - downtown is a good 30 minute walk away. Room was spacious enough for two people.

AustraliaIt’s a reasonably long walk from the station with luggage or in the rain ( Take the 205 bus from the north end of the street). The neighbourhood is quiet but there’s not a lot around in terms of eating options. It’s an automated check in/check out system which helps to explains the budget price but it’s an impersonal place.
Spacious comfortable room. Quiet location. Spotlessly clean like all the accommodations we stayed in in Japan. A budget option and it certainly met my expectations.

AustraliaWe didn't realise we had the incorrect hotel entry code provided in the email confirmation. Lucky, a staff member was at reception, let us in and wrote the code for us on a piece of paper.
About the check in - We arrived during office hours and a staff member let us in. We didn't need to wait and it was a seamless check in. No keys were issued only a pin to unlock the room. It was nice not having to worry about a key. About the hotel - Great value and location. The room was dated but sufficient for our purposes as we spent most of our time exploring. Facilities - paid laundry which accepts coins only, I loved the free water purifier available in the laundry room. Smoke room is situated near the laundry on ground floor. We were able to lock our luggage in the reception area (locks and keys provided) after checkout. First come first serve basis and the hotel doesn't take responsibility for loss. We secured 2 which was handy and allowed us to explore after check out. Food options available near the hotel as well as convenience stores .

Room is big (compared to most hotels at Kyoto and anywhere in Japan for the price). Truly value for $$$. Good location. Self service check in but there is a staff on standby who was good in mandarin which help the check in process.
