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 reviewWith a family of four, having the separate beds but also the dining area allowed us to spread out a bit more. Plus separation of the toilet to the shower also made mornings easier.

Neighborhood was ok. View not so great. No outdoor seating/space.

Verified reviewThe Hideout was probably one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. it was an incredible location that is close to transit, and so many fun things to do. Our room in the Hideout was exceptional!! We almost didn't want to explore the city because our room was so cool! The in-room amenities were outstanding, and the lounge was the best amenity we have ever had. It was so nice to pop up after a long day of sightseeing and grab a fun drink and snack before dinner.
Nothing

Verified reviewWhat a gem! It's spacious, clean well-equipped and conveniently located 10 min walk from Kyoto station! The staff was friendly and accommodating and spoke English as well. I wish I had stayed longer.
It was a little difficult to find initially but then the name makes sense. It's a gem of a hideout and it's tucked away unassuming behind another building. There's no parking so forget it if you have a car and no bike rental on site. But I'm really stretching for anything to criticize It was lovely.

Verified reviewHotel is quite new and clean with all the facilities we need. There is also communal cinema, snack and drink bar to use for free which is a bonus add.
Locating behind the Tune Stay hotel, the hotel was a bit hard to find. We booked it as we thought it was close to Kyoto station and the airport shuttle, not knowing the bus station was on the other side of the Kyoto station which took another 15 mins to walk.

Verified reviewHideout was the highlight of our accomodations for our whole Japan trip. It's an annexed section of the Tune Stay Hotel. Hideout guests get their own lift AND private games room and a whole bar filled with drinks (soft and alcoholic) and snacks to take at your leisure at no extra cost! This was such a great feature! Pottering about the amazing library was so nice too! Staff and amenities were fantastic and the location is very close to Kyoto station so was a winner all round! There is also a great pizza place called Centro a 3 min walk from the hotel for when you want a change from Japanese food.
No gym but that's just being picky. The hotel is wonderful!

Verified reviewSpacious room (huge, with a kitchenette). Quite. In room record player with an excellent mix of music to choose from. A games room stocked with assorted board games. Free alcoholic beverages (1 glass of wine, tinned G n T, unlimited cans of beer) and nibbles. The Hideout (shares a reception) is behind another (lesser) hotel which gives in an exclusive feeling. The decor is minimalist with clean lines. The bathroom/wet room is huge, with a separate loo. The lighting in the room was in sections and was motion activated (which is great is you need to go to the loo in the middle of the night).
No makeup or full length mirror. The complimentary slippers were poor. No tea towels.

Verified reviewLocation was excellent.
Pillows on the bed were far too small. No signage outside to show Hideout.
