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 Arab EmiratesSuggestion to add a bottle of mineral water in the fridge.
The little garden attached to my room was awesome. My advice is to take the ground floor rooms that have a tiny garden.

HungaryThe accomodation was 15 minutes walk from the Kyoto train station. 10 minutes by bus. It was in a good location. The room was clean. The room is a bit small but it is perfect for one person. If you are two with big luggage the room could be a little bit small for you. Overall I had a great experience.

United KingdomNothing! Everything was great.
- Lovely owners of a little guest house. They were super accommodating and helped us get our luggage shipped to the next location. - The rooms were spacious and well equipped. They had a cute little step up into a tatami area which felt like a little Japanese apartment. - Great location, close to lots of lovely coffee shops, eateries and a short walk from Nishiki market. - Loved that there was a bath.

GermanyNothing negative to say.
The hotel is very quiet in a beautiful side street, conveniently located close to Konbinis & restaurants. It’s clean and the beds are comfortable. The room has a microwave & a tatami area. If you don’t feel like eating out, you can just heat up your Famima dinner and eat it there. The room is spacious enough to stay organized, even is you live out of a backpack and the bathroom has everything it needs. It was our second stay at the hotel and we want to come back!

RussiaReally low ceilings make rooms appear larger in photos. Also, our room didn’t have a mini sofa shown in the photos. Furthermore, the air cleaner/humidifier wasn’t functioning because the internal filters were still wrapped in plastic. I unpacked the filters and had the cleaner working as new during my stay. I hope the staff will pay attention to this issue and ensure that the air cleaner/humidifier is set up, maintained, and cleaned according to the manual. Additionally, please ensure that the bathroom ventilator is always on when you’re inside. Otherwise, due to the very low room volume, CO2 levels quickly rise, causing headaches in the mornings.
The location was simply perfect. We didn’t use trains or taxis in Kyoto, as most places were easily accessible on foot. We only took a bus to some distant locations. I particularly enjoyed the balcony, which offered a view of the surroundings from the window and good room lighting. The room was exceptionally clean, equipped with a humidifying air cleaner and a quiet air conditioner. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Most of the time, there’s no one at the reception, but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

United StatesRooms are small and the double bed is… a double bed, so as two tall Americans, well, it’s a bit tight. The WiFi is great in the lobby but virtually nonexistent on the 4th floor.
Clean and comfortable, with good attention to detail, and great customer service. Week day rates are really affordable. Very quiet. In a quiet neighborhood - but enough restaurants around.

United KingdomNothing major just feel like the size of the balcony (and garden as we had a friend stay in a garden room) didn't really justify the extra cost, however the space was nice just very small, apart from that, all was lovely/
This hotel was a real surprise find when I was looking for hotels in Kyoto, great value for a comfortable room a short walk away from the city centre! Very clean with great bathroom, very comfortable stay and very happy with my time there.
