How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA magical place where calmness reigns. You can really feel peace and tranquility here. The spaces are traditional in the best sense of the word, and absolutely beautiful — it almost makes you want to just stay there without going anywhere else! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, everything is spotless and very well maintained, and you’ll find everything you might need. For anything extra, everyone is super helpful! I had such a wonderful time here — I can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! It's so lovely to hear that you loved to spend much time here during your stay, and also not only this traditional Japanese style but also the atmospher made you feel comfortable. Please come back anytime if you get another opportunity to visit Kyoto.

Verified reviewVery nice place with good vibes and a beautiful ryokan. The room was comfortable, the airco worked well, the room and the shared bathrooms were clean. The location is amazing, easy to reach, close to many sights.
Nothing comes to mind.

Verified reviewOk. The feeling of being in a hostel. No lights and quite shadowy.
The neighbourhood makes you feel you are in central gentrificated area. Like Gothic area in Barcelona or busy central of any Central European city unfortunately transformed for un respectful tourists. In a future trip I will look for another more not so touristy area.
Thank you for the comment. Our hotel is a hostel-like accommodation that has been renovated from a traditional Japanese house. Perhaps you may have felt that there was not much lighting because we wanted you to feel the warmth of the sunlight during the day. Kyoto has many tourist spots that are not yet well-known, so please come back and discover new charms of Kyoto. Thank you for your staying!

Verified reviewWonderful place, we immediately felt at home. Lovely staff, beautiful rooms and a great location to explore Gion, one of the nicer parts of Kyoto (if you ask me). The (shared) toilets and bathrooms were good and clean and with plenty of capacity for the number of guests. Great tips and suggestions (e.g. breakfast options) published by the staff in the hall of the guesthouse.
The wooden floors can be a bit squeaky and we had to remind our daughter a couple of times to refrain from jumping, dancing, gymnastics and acrobatics to avoid bothering the other guests. Also, we had hoped for a small garden but the garden wasn't accessible to the guests. Not a biggie.
Thank you so much for your stay and review. We are very happy to hear that you had a comfortable stay with us, and our facilities and travel tips met your needs. We also appreciate your familiy for being considerate of the other guests as our building has old traditional structure that not perfectly soundproofed. We look forward to welcoming you again someday.

Verified reviewThe staff were very helpful and warm, the location is in Gion (right in the machiya historical section of Kyoto), the building itself is a several hundred year old machiya, very comfortable, and even has it's own shrine!
Thank you for your excellent review. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We feel very lucky and are proud ourselves to have this beautiful old building as an accommodation in this special historical area. Please visit us again if you get another chance to come to Kyoto.
