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...).

CanadaA beautiful stay. We were very comfortable. The sheets were changed everyday and we got fresh towels. The water pressure in our shower was surprisingly good. You must be quiet to respect the other guests, but it contributes to a very peaceful and relaxing vibe. We’d happily recommend this property to anyone.

I thought the location was excellent. It was a less than 10 minute walk to the subway station with close proximity to great restaurants and museums. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Guesthouse host was very accommodating and gave me recommendations on restaurants and sightseeing.

United StatesIt may be better suited for adults and couples than families as I think the owner is aiming for a meditative stay. There are a lot of rules regarding bringing food in the room and leaving by a certain time every afternoon for cleaning- all reasonable but challenging if traveling with a kid or teen who needs down time.
Perfect location if you want a scenic stay near the river that’s walking distance to sights while avoiding the crowds. Great private soaking tub and spacious rooms. The owner was very gracious when we foolishly locked ourselves out of our room late at night.

He takes a lot of pride in the Ryokan and it shows with the cleanliness and beautiful atmosphere. Thank you and would recommend 100% to anyone. The owner also has a beautiful Akita named Shin and he is very sweet and will greet you coming in.

New ZealandWe have to leave 😆
We loved our stay at Hazuki Kyoto! The location was perfect. A 5 minute walk to Kiyomizu-gojo station on the Keihan line. This provides great access to Tofuku-ji temple (a must), Uji and Demachiyanagi station for the connection to the Kuruma - Kibune walk. As Kyoto gets more crowded and busy these are great spots to escape the crowds. Top tip - get out early to enjoy Fushimi Inari. If you don't mind walking Kyoto Station is an easy 20 minute walk away. Nishiki market also very close by. The owner of Hazuki Kyoto is a superstar, very friendly and helpful. He organised our bags to be transported to our next travel spot. For travelers new to Japan, Yamamoto Transport can be a life saver to get heavy luggage around your travel spots. We had a bag transported up to Hokkaido, took 2 days and only cost ¥2,500. We have visited Japan, Kyoto numerous times and always use Yamamoto Transport. The room was more spacious than we thought it was going to be, clean towels every day, room was spotless, beds comfortable, great shower and 2 big windows to open and let the fresh air in. Hazuki Kyoto is on a quiet street so could leave the windows open at night. Air con available but we didn't need it. Yes the walls are thin but all the other guests were quiet and respectful so was not an issue. This place is beautiful and a must stay in Kyoto. We would definitely stay here again.

AustraliaWe absolutely loved staying here. The owner was very communicative and was around during the day if we needed anything. He also had a gorgeous, cheeky Shiba dog who hung out at the hotel during the day and brought us immense joy when we returned to the hotel weary after a day of travel. Locating and accessing the property was easy on foot - we were advised to use a taxi service, although most taxi drivers actually won’t take you all the way to Hazuki Kyoto as the street is too narrow. Public transport and google maps was absolutely fine. The building itself is comprised of five guest suites over multiple floors, including a very large bath that you could reserve and a shared kitchenette. Our room had effective under-floor heating which was easily adjustable via new control panels on the walls. There were traditional floor mattresses on tatami mats, floor cushions, a functional bathroom with a shower, and a western-style dining area with table and chairs. We found the room (including the beds) extremely comfortable - the only thing we struggled with (as Westerners) was not having a sofa or armchair in which to cosy up and read a book in the evenings (although the appeal of Hazuki Kyoto is embracing Japanese-style living anyway!). We used the large bath twice; it was very comfortable and very hot. We didn’t cross paths with any other guests during our stay, although being a traditional Japanese house, there was minimal soundproofing. Other guests themselves were very quiet, but the sliding of doors or unclocking the front entrance was rather noisy. We weren’t awoken by it - but if you’re a light sleeper, bring some earplugs. The location was excellent. Within 20m of walking were an abundance of cafes and restaurants, the Manga Museum, and Nishiki Market. A 20m train ride took us to the Inari Gates, Nara Deer Park, and many beautiful temples and shrines. The owner kindly drove us to the train station the day we checked out, and gave us a warm goodbye.
