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 reviewCentral location in downtown Kyoto, yet on a quiet street. It was the Gion Matsuri celebration in July when we were there, the owner gave us many advice as how to enjoy it. There are many shopping and food options around. A local supermarket is 7 minutes walk away. We went to Osaka for a day trip, the owner made sure we knew the best way to get there. The room is small, but it has everything we needed: bathtub for soaking, washing machine, small refrigerator, microwave. There is an electric stove, but because there is no proper vent, we only used it to make miso soup.

Verified reviewVery centralized and located just a minute to Nishiki market which pretty much the heart of Kyoto. Close to the main road of Kawaramachi-dori where everything happens. A lot of niche and good brunch / coffee shops around the area. The staff were very helpful. The couple who runs the place is so kind and helpful. The whole facility is pleasant and clean. It was a pleasure staying here and we will definitely come back! We recommend 100%! Perfect location and value for the money.

Verified reviewWe travelled straight from Kansai Airport to Kyoto therefore arrived at about 10pm to the hotel. The owner tried to contact us before hand via email, but as we were travelling, we could not check our emails. We found out that checkin time is normally up till 9pm, but the owner waited for us until 10pm to assist us with checkin. He was so friendly and warm, and also going the extra mile to let us know where to eat and getting around kyoto as a local. Location of the place is excellent, right in the heart of kyoto centre. The other staff at the hotel are also super friendly and helpful. It really left a beautiful memory for us in Kyoto!

Verified reviewI truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I’m not done with my monthlong trip but this hotel is a standout. The friendly concierge helped me check in, explained how to use the in room washing machine, provided local restaurant recommendations and helped send my luggage to the next destination. The service was friendly and warm in the best possible way, not like a sterile corporate hotel. It feels like coming home each evening. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was also great to have a washing machine in the room and not having to wait for a machine like at other hotels. The location is fantastic. It is literally half a block to Nishiki market. The hotel is serviced by a few train lines, one of which takes you directly to Osaka. Also, head in the opposite direction of Nishiki Market and there is busy shopping area with many clothing and shoe stores. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.
