Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing comes to mind.
Great location and even better guest house. The place is just a few minutes from Tsuruhashi and Momodani stations and has fast access to places like Namba via subway. (from Tsuruhashi you'll get about anywhere in Osaka under 35 minutes) It's located in a Korean town so you can stroll around, shop and buy korean food just a street away from the guest house. It's an older house so some of its equipment is a bit older as well, but everything inside is clean and works just fine. Sonic and Satō were very accommodating and kind to us on all occasions. The next time we'll be staying in Osaka we'll very likely book this guest house again.

I liked everything about my stay!
The location was in a good area, not far from multiple train stations. There were umbrellas to use, if needed. He was very friendly and answered any questions that I may have had, and suggested some good things in the area to do. Very conversational. The beds were comfortable. I had some really good roommates too. The storage area for my traveling luggage was nice also. Very spacious. I would definitely stay at this location again, if I am back in Osaka.

The bed is loud when the person on the upper bed moves so it's a bit annoying
Everything is as expected, basic amenities but nothing to complain about. Good place for backpackers who want to socialise with other guests. We have been here for two days only and were tired with sightseeing so we did not socialise with others but everyone were friendly. Location is quite good, not too far from the station.

The guesthouse is really friendly and comfortable. The owner is helpful and nice too. I liked the location in the Korean area. There is a gym and a swimming pool at 3mn. Perfect if you want to do some exercise (600y per training). The bedroom is all you need, with space for the luggage. It's clean. For the price, it's worth it!

Sonik is the best host and very passionate about Wa N Wa. He helped us with anything and everything. The private room was large and comfortable. We will definitely stay again. We missed a Korean/Japanese lesson but hopefully we can return. Sonik also helped us when we needed to replace our old backpacks as we needed to book waste disposal to pick them up. Thank you Sonik!

United States11 Reviews2 helpful votes8.0“Enjoyable, but some unnecessary discomfort”- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
I thought it was very inconvenient to go up & down the stairs over and over. The stairs are not large and they have a spiral shape. This place would not suit anyone who has difficulties walking. The top floor shared bathroom is too small and very uncomfortable to use. Because of how cheap it is to book here, one guest decided to stay for over a month and did not understand how to socialize properly with other travelers. This was not a pleasant experience because the common area is a small kitchen and only so many people can talk at once. A homestay is no longer a homestay when someone with poor social skills is allowed to stay for so long amongst well-mannered people who are travelling for shorter periods of time.
I thought the location was very nice & quiet (in Koreatown). It was convenient and although the main metro line required a lot of walking, I thought it was a nice walk considering that the city isn't super crowded or loud. The hostel itself was clean and it was very easy to talk to people because it's not a big place nor it is crowded. It was easier to socialize in this small homestay than in a larger hostel. I met people here that I may keep a friendship with for many years to come! Our host was a very nice person. He was accessible and very easy to talk to. At the time, this was the cheapest place in the city with the highest rating.
