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 rooms are definitely on the small side. My son and I shared a double twin and we were comfortable though.
The breakfast was amazing and really amongst the best hotel breakfasts I've every had. The variety of food offered, the ambience and the service was fantastic. The rooms run small but we asked for extra luggage rack and made it work well. The air conditioning is great so we were able to sleep well despite the humidity

United StatesHonestly no complaints !
The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Most speak at least a little bit of english but even if they are not fluent they do their best to be helpful and accommodating. The environment was beautiful and pleasant to stay in. Would 100% recommend to anyone staying in the kyoto area, it’s also very close to the public transportation which makes it so much easier to get around :)

ChinaCompared to other Japanses service, I don't think the staff in this hotel is as nice as others. When we first arrived, the room is not ready yet, but I required to complete check-in process first, that was rejected, which is fine. When we came back again, one of the staff asked us to self-check in using lobby machine, which we also did. After that, we tried to get our luggage which stored in the lobby before, we were told to present our luggage ticket. That ticket was taken by the staff who asked us to do the self-check in. We can't get our luggage until receiving people instructions of the hotel. I don't understand this process. If self-check in is to save guests' time, why we still need to get into a counter for instructions. Why the staff who took our luggage ticket didn't give the ticket to the counter - this is not a professional hotel service.
Perfect location, 5min walking to railway station, close to a 7-11. The room is very big compared to other Japanese hotel rooms.

Rooms were a little small although neat and clean, and perfect for rest after a day of walking. The balcony was very welcome. Other facilities such as the lounges, coffee and tea facilities, music and drinks in the evenings, laundry, and bathing house were also very good. Proximity to Kyoto Railway Station was perfect.

AustraliaRoom could have bee a bit bigger, especially travelling with 2 big bags, no room to place bags. Would have liked to have a safe in room. Breakfast was delicious, my only suggestion would be to change the breakfast offering every second day. I stayed for 6 nights and almost the same food was on offer each day.

South AfricaThe daily cleaning could be better
Location was perfect, a walking distance to the main Kyoto train station which is the hub for the bullet trains and haruka train to outskirts from Kyoto. Hotel offered daily complimentary drinks and we enjoyed the bubbles there. As for the restaurant VERY affordable restaurant in my entire Japan visit and the food was equally delicious and enough. The room was surprisingly specious enough compared to Tokyo rooms with a nice balcony

AustraliaThe open center and bar. It was too cold to sit out at night and enjoy a drink. Also the power outlets in the room were inadequate, we required medical equipment for night use and had to pull out the bed and bedside lamps to get a power outlet to ensure the use in bed.
Loved the cleanliness and having our own balcony. Also the onsen was a lovely extra to soak after all the walking exploring Kyoto
