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.).

The cafe at the entrance is great to chill. The location is amazing if you're not looking for too touristy areas (and it's great to go out at night too!)

United KingdomWalls could use a repaint! Our room was partially dirty on walls. Bathrooms are like being in a caravan all plastic lined and no windows. I preferred our other Tokyo hotel over this for price.
The quiet location and big steps outside away from the party Shimo-kitz area is nice. It’s 10 min walk to metro. Lots of express train go thru so easy to reach Shibuya, shinjuku etc. Bear in mind it’s an hour to Haneda though. Rooms were small but bigger than expected. Local curry restaurants (it’s a curry area) are excellent.

If you want somewhere bustling this maybe isn't the place for you, but we loved being located somewhere that was a nice escape from the busy city centre.

Shimokitazawa is a lively neighborhood. The hotel is about a 5 min walk from the train station, with easy access to Shinshuko and Shibuya by train. The hotel has a comfortable lobby with a coffee shop and an outside patio.

United StatesThe living section of the building and quarters itself are barebones and could do with small updates. Small things such as painting the walls with a fresh coat, and perhaps changing out the carpet for easier to clean floors would help with the vibe of the rooms and hallways. I'm sure it's clean, but with marks on the walls and ground, it gives the sense that there isn't much care put into upkeep. Lastly, walls are definitely not soundproof; it was louder than any of the other hotels I stayed at in Japan.
The location was incredible. Close to cute cafés, restaurants, and the vintage stores in Shimokitazawa. The concept of the common space (the café and outdoor space) and the vinyls is lovely.

Great location! Shimokitazawa is a fabulous place to be. So many great Izakayas and shopping. Also really close to Shibuya and Shinjuku. The hotel itself is cute and decently appointed. Good coffee sold downstairs. Staff is super helpful. You can borrow bicycles!
