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.).

AustriaThe twin room was a tad small, and AC in the cafe was too strong for my taste, given that it was extremely hot outside. But a very good hostel overall.
The staff is welcoming and competent, the common rooms are cozy and cater to both those who want to socialise and those who just want to chill in their own bubble. Great quiet location to explore Tokyo and to reach from Narita airport. Lots of locals come here in the evening for a drink or two, which makes the atmosphere very pleasant.

AustraliaPotentially a little more counter space in the shower area for personal items and more clothing clips to hang clothes to dry on the rooftop.
The hostel was very trendy but also exceptionally clean and organised. The cafe downstairs had great food and staff. And the common room on the 6th floor had a great kitchen and laundry area. The best part of Nui. was how many cool people I met staying there, especially one of the hostel staff, Sora. One of the kindest and most accommodating hostel staff I have ever met, and he spoke great english so he was very helpful with any questions i had as well as recommendations for Tokyo. Overall, this hostel was the highlight of my trip (:

United StatesUnfortunately, I spent way more than I wanted with the dryers, because they took several cycles to dry a small amount of clothing. Also, major trains are a bit farther away, extending travel time by rail.
Having the café and the close proximity to the subway were very convenient.

United StatesExcellent and hip hostel in a quieter part of town but with easy access to everything the city has to offer. Walking distance to the Sumida riverfront and Asakusa with two metro stations very close by. Not a party hostel but still very social. Facilities were very comfortable. I stayed twice, first in the river view room which was incredible, second time in the mixed dorm which was surprisingly clean and quiet for a hostel. Watching the Sumidagawa fireworks from the rooftop is an experience I will never forget. Great base if you are staying in Tokyo for more than a few days.

GermanyThe big plus of the Hostel is the bar area. Cool atmosphere, cozy drinks and good food. Perfect location for sightseeing in a silent neighborhood. The size of the doorms was ok, but the private rooms were even for Japanese levels a little bit small.

United StatesClose to train stations, so easy to get to any part of Tokyo. Rooms were clean, had decent size lockers (use your own lock). Rooms have keyless entry (code on door). There’s a decent lounge and kitchen area with fridge & stove. Laundry and rooftop to hang clothes or just hang out. Large bathrooms with separate showers and toilets. Beds have curtains. Staff was friendly & helpful. Would recommend a stay here. More social than some other hostels in Japan.

The hostel is very well organised and clean, the toilet is quite big and with a commensurate air ventilation. The staff is really nice and kind and helpful. The bar/restaurant and the breakfast are simply amazing! For the architecture, the music and the food! I just couldn't add breakfast to my room for ¥1000 once there as Booking says at the moment of choosing between options (with or without breakfast included), but you can have a really good one choosing from the menu and spending a little bit more. Thank you, I appreciated everything from the very beginning!

AustraliaMaybe a bit far to get to some tourist attractions but also Tokyo is massive so you're never going to be near everything. On the welcome card it says you have to pay for a towel but that is now included which is good :) Staff were pleasant enough!
Asakusa is not close to Shibuya etc (about 45 mins into these areas) BUT it's got a very local energy about it, there was a temple event happening just across the road one of the days with lots of locals about. The hostel is super clean, rooms are what you expect for a hostel, their brunch and coffee are banging and its got a good evening vibe if you're looking for a chill drink after a long day - lots of opportunities to meet some cool people.
