Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesI liked everything. Good bath, amenities and quiet neighborhood. There was a really nice grocery store next door where I bought fruit everyday. Clean, nice people, and overall very positive experience. I would love to stay again.
I like the traditional layout. Very good for someone who understands traditional design.

The accommodation is quiet and clean. It has got everything you need, laundry room, vending machine, maps etc. 7/11 is just the opposite, also Lawson is just a walk distance away.

Czech RepublicI loved everything, there was nothing wrong.
I LOVED THIS HOTEL! The couple who managed it were great and so friendly! They knew English and explained everything so well, and I even got a Tokyo Guide and a map of the Nippori area from them. Everything was clean and they had a washing machine as well (which I didn’t get around to using). My room had an electric kettle, AC, hairdryer, yukata and towels.

AustraliaI stayed in the traditional Japanese room with the tatami floor mat and futon. It was very comfortable and very spacious and very clean. While the hotel is located a little further out from the more central parts of Tokyo, it is in a quiet neighborhood and close to many conveniences. Additionally, several train stations are within 10 mins walk. I would highly recommend.

United StatesSituated within the Yanaka Ginza district, this location is incredibly accessible via mass transit (JR line trains and Chioda line subway). The area abounds with great small restaurants and craft breweries. The ryokan is not "traditional" in that it is a modern building. But the rooms are appointed with traditional tatami mats and futons for sleeping. The staff is gracious and helpful.

CanadaThe window shades could be slightly darker, the bright light of the parking lot next door shines in and it’s impossible to block fully. But it’s still dark enough to sleep and the window quality is superb
The location is perfect. Everything needed is nearby, and there’s a lot to check out. The beds were extremely comfortable, and there were many outlets available to charge all of our devices. The bathroom was very nice and spacious.

Fantastic location in the Yanaka district: close to the Yamanote line and a metro station but in a nice, relaxed neighbourhood that is great to get back to in the evening after a day in other, packed & busy Tokyo districts. 100% clean, relaxing Japanese rooms. 24/7 opened 7/11 store across the road.
