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.).

AustraliaThe building only had one washing machine and one cycle was 4 hours! Though a kind member of staff later informed me that it can be stopped mid-cycle for lighter loads.
Second time staying at Miru Kyoto but first time at their Gion location. The rooms were as pristine and spacious as I remembered. The surrounding area was surprisingly calm despite being in the middle of Gion, and was conveniently located near transport and shopping. Staff there were always very willing to help with directions, luggage forwarding, or just to have a quick chat while waiting for the laundry to finish! Miru Kyoto's friendly and welcoming service really can't be beat - they may be on the pricey side but it's entirely worth it.

The light breakfast is just enough to get you started on your day and not too much to slow you down. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making reservations and recommendations as needed.

AustraliaCouldn't fault anything. Excellent accommodation.
Excellent location in the heart of most interesting area of Kyoto and even close to major shopping. The room was very comfortable and the staff were excellent and very attentive. The free coffee, juice, and croissant provided every morning was just enough to get your day started. The hotel is still relatively new and still has that nice new feel. Would recommend to everyone.

FranceEverything was perfect!
The location is unbeatable - in the Gion district. Perfect for an early morning or evening stroll to enjoy the special atmosphere. The room is super comfortable and very clean - with everything you need for a great stay. There are lots of little details that make all the difference. In addition, the hotel offers a number of very useful and relevant recommendations for restaurants, activities and shopping. But I'd particularly like to mention the service-mindedness of the hotel staff - they were so welcoming and attentive. A special mention for Michi - she's super great!
