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.).

MalaysiaThe rooms are very small and you can also hear next door people talking. The toilet is super duper small and cramp as the shower and toilet bowl is so near to each other therefore it is difficult to turn the body for someone big size or tall.

United KingdomThis is a very simple hotel with a one night only kind of hotel. We were given the last floor room (5th floor) but the lift only goes until the 4th floor so Imagine our surprise when we are traveling with 2 big large luggage. At least the guy from reception helped us to carry our luggage, which was nice of him.

IndonesiaWhat we did not really like was the thin wall so we can hear noise from other rooms but we slept well.
It was a good night, the facilities were as told. The futon was comfy, no trouble. Price was good and near the station. We would like to stay again if come to Kyoto.

JapanThe room floor is dusty, the small table and the appliances. One of our futon/mattress (not on the cover) has a blood stain. Needed to change the pillow cover because it smells like used by the previous guest of the room. The bathroom was small but clean, only the vent fan is full of dust. Our room was in 2nd floor and you can hear the noises outside and from the next room. Not recommended if you are with kids. I hope they provide slippers since the floor gets more dusty if you will stay for more than a night. (We stayed for 2 nights)
Location is nice easy to find. Near to train kyoto station also to convenience and grocery store. The ambiance and style of the room was nice too.

United Kingdomwe stayed for 5 nights and the rooms wasn’t cleaned at all, we weren’t instructed on any of it. i believe you can take fresh towels from reception but no idea what to do with dirty ones. There was also no one ever present at reception. we wanted to enquire about transferring our luggage back to Tokyo but couldn’t as we never saw anyone there.
it’s well located, close to Tokyo station. helpful, especially if you carry a lot of luggage. we wanted a traditional experience, and to be honest we had very comfortable sleep!

CanadaThere was no staff present when we arrived even though the sign at the desk said it was open. A key was left for us so we were able to access our room. There was no one there when we checked out at 9 am. We were hoping to leave our bags for a few hours while we did a bit more sight seeing but it didn't seem safe so we ended up putting them in a locker at Kyoto Station.
The room was as expected. It is just big enough for 2 to sleep. The laundry facilities on the roof were great! The comforters were some of the nicest I've ever used!

PhilippinesThe japanese room was a bit smaller than expected. The sheets of our room were a bit dirty. It was like it was not cleaned. The bathroom is also small. I was bumping into the walls while I was taking a bath.
I like that it was around 500 meters from the main Kyoto station. It is a bit far from the temples and the Kyoto shopping district, but travelling to and from the hotel wasn't an issue. You also get to experience an authentic japanese room. It is as listed: a japanese room with a few modern amenities

JapanI have never slept on a tatami bed before, it's good really appreciate that this is a non-smoking building. for back sleeping, but not that comfortable for side sleeping.
This was my first time staying in a traditional Japanese hotel. It's very minimalist, and clean. a very good value. Very close to Kyoto station and you get a whole room and bathroom to yourself. This is a much better value than staying in a capsule hotel. This place is run by an older couple and while they didn't speak English, they were attentive and communicated well through Google translate. They have a clear process that is well communicated on how to get inside the building after hours.
