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 reviewThe 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.
The 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.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the warm welcome from our staff, the cozy common spaces, and our convenient yet quiet location. It’s also wonderful to know that you appreciated the lively atmosphere in the evenings when locals join us at the bar. We take note of your feedback regarding the café air conditioning and room size — we truly value such comments as they help us improve. At Nui., we aim to offer a mix of community and comfort, whether you want to socialize or relax in your own space. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime on your next visit to Tokyo.

Verified reviewThe 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 (:
Potentially a little more counter space in the shower area for personal items and more clothing clips to hang clothes to dry on the rooftop.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere of Nui., from our café and common spaces to the 6th floor kitchen and laundry area. It’s especially heartwarming to know that you met so many great people during your stay, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with Sora:) We also really appreciate your helpful feedback about the shower counter space and clothing clips on the rooftop. Suggestions like yours help us keep improving for future guests. We’re thrilled Nui. could be a highlight of your trip to Tokyo, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for more great memories!

Verified reviewHaving the café and the close proximity to the subway were very convenient.
Unfortunately, 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.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear that you found the café and nearby subway convenient for your stay. Our location offers easy access to local lines and a more relaxed neighborhood atmosphere. We also appreciate your comment about the dryers — we’re sorry for the inconvenience and will look into ways to improve efficiency for future guests. Thanks again for choosing Nui., and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience.
