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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaIt was a little far from the real centre and there weren’t many restaurants or shops nearby.
This hotel was a very welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and felt like stepping into paradise after a 16 hour flight and a two hour tube journey.

Even more amazing than the photos. Everything is beautiful and service is excellent. The suite was extremely spacious and fit the 3 of us. Get the executive plan to enjoy the amazing lounge offerings. The hotel is a short walk to the Yamamoto line and 1-2 stops from all the main tourist sites. Meguro is a beautiful quiet neighborhood on the river with many restaurants and shops with more of a local and non-touristy vibe. 10/10 look forward to staying again.

United KingdomNot so much an issue with the hotel but - very steep hill leading to the hotel which is a bit difficult with luggage. Again, very short journey between the station and the hotel, so this did not present a massive issue for us. The hotel does have a bus running from the hotel to the station but within specific hours.
Everything was brilliant. It was so worth it for us to include breakfast - so many choices. Property was spotless. Wonderful staff. Beautiful hotel. Very close to Meguro station, which is on the Yamanote line, so very easy to reach other areas. Steam room was a lovely extra. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

United KingdomGajoen Tokyo was an unforgettable experience. The rooms were incredibly spacious and the facilities top-notch. What truly stood out was the exceptional and outstanding customer service – every interaction was warm, attentive, and professional. I also took the hotel tour and was fascinated by its rich heritage, which is beautifully preserved throughout the property. It feels like stepping into a living museum. I will definitely return for a longer stay next time to enjoy even more of what this unique hotel has to offer.

United KingdomWe loved everything about this hotel. The hotel staff are amazing from start to finish. We had the Japanese style room which was a joy to stay in, it had a separate sitting room with traditional seating area, the beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a jet bath, shower and sauna. The toilet was totally separate to the bathroom. We had a garden on our balcony. Really recommend this experience. Do the hotel art tour. You see closed off parts of the hotel and the historic art pieces as well as the banquet and wedding ceremony rooms with a fantastic tour guide. Great breakfast with the most variety I've seen in any hotel in Japan. We ate at the cafe and Chinese restaurant, the atmosphere and food was wonderful.

DenmarkOnly tiny things: the shower head in the bathroom should be cleaned of limescale more often - it would improve the water pressure. The coffee at breakfast was not the best.

SwedenI have no complaints and would love to stay again
We loved our stay at Gajoen. We arrived very early and were able to leave our luggage very easily which was then delivered to our room upon check-in. The staff was so courteous and nice to us, we felt very well taken care off. The room itself was lovely. Spacious and comfortable. For our first night in Tokyo after a long flight it was great to sleep in the very comfy bed. The bathroom was the star however. The jet bathtub had a beautiful view of the city and the steam sauna was great to use. Complimentary skin care products were also provided so we had a spa night. The breakfast in the morning was lovely. So many foods to try, both hot and cold and from many cuisines, both Asian and western. It set us up for the whole day. The hotel itself is beautiful and worth a visit on its own. The waterfall is spectacular and the art all around the hotel is lovely to look at. Some mornings they have an art tour of the hotel, and I highly recommend going on one if you stay at the hotel and they have them in the morning. It was very interesting and you got to see areas and art in the hotel you wouldn't have otherwise. It's in a quite area but easy to get to from Meguro station and then you have the Meguro River close by that you can walk by which has loads of cherry blossom trees. They weren’t in bloom when we were there but could definitely see the potential. Also, a good walk up the river you have the Naka Meguro area, Ebisu and Daikanyama were you have lots of cool restaurants, shops and bars. I can also recommend the Metropolitan Teien Art Museum which is close and has a beautiful garden, not to mention the house and exhibitions themselves.

IndonesiaThe hotel is stunning, both in architecture and design. It's not the typical hotel you usually see in Tokyo. It has history, charm and elegance. The service is impeccable. The staff even went an extra mile to make our stay memorable by doing something special for our 30th wedding anniversary. They were very accommodating and helpful in every way. We would definitely stay at this hotel again on our next trip to Tokyo.

SingaporeThe hotel doesn’t have its own gym, but you can use a fitness centre nearby for free. But this is just a minor inconvenience.
The location is very convenient. It’s just a 5 minute walk from the Meguro station. The hotel is located right next to the Meguro river so your morning runs are convenient and picturesque. The hotel is beautifully decorated. With 2500 antique crafts and ornaments, it is like staying in a museum! The hotel tour itself takes 90 minutes. The rooms are huge. For Tokyo standards, you’ll be hard pressed to find another hotel with such spacious rooms
