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.).

United StatesGreat location! So walkable to a lot of spots while still being really calm, peaceful, and beautiful inside. Staff was all very friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable. Loved having a washing machine in our room too - at this point in our trip we definitely needed to do some laundry so we booked the queen room with washing machine and it worked out perfectly. Definitely would stay here again!

Only a 5 min walk from the train station and close to numerous restaurants, Nishiki Market, and Pontocho Alley. We arrived a couple of hours early and were greeted with iced green tea.Thankfully, they were able to accommodate an early check-in for us, so we were able to settle in and start exploring Kyoto. Rooms are just as pictured. We got one with a washing machine/dryer and was thankful we did. It was perfect to launder our clothes daily. All the toiletries and laundry soap are provided. The room was very spacious and located on the 1st floor, so it was nice not to have to wait for elevators every day. Tattoos ok for onsen. Loved the outdoor space with trees and lots of natural light behind the bar. Would definitely stay here again!

United KingdomJust lack of storage- we lived out if cases for 3 days but didn’t mind as the quality and feel of hotel was . Didn’t use the public bath ( from the photos online- I thought it was a pool) . Didn’t do breakfast so can’t comment.
Fantastic location. Wonderful feel around this hotel. Rooms are absolutely lovely although could do with some storage for clothes. Staff are warm and friendly and helpful.

Did not try the hotel breakfast. The welcome was exceedingly warm, and our luggage (which we had sent from Tokyo) was already in our room. Facilities and amenities were excellent, even complimentary umbrellas for a rainy day.

Very nice hotel in central Kyoto. The hotel is not far from the tube station. 10 minutes by train to go to the main train station in Kyoto. The room is very clean and the bed is super comfy. Breakfast is really good with many products to choose from, for all tastes. The price is quite reasonable considering the high standard of the hotel. Definitely recommend it for a nice stay in Kyoto.

RussiaBreakfast (while have many things) could have more authentic options (like rice); also, the main dish menu is very limited and does not allow any customisation.
Very quiet, very special hotel in the heart of Kyoto, close to a famous market. The room was clean (every day). It was a super comfortable stay. Did not want to leave :) Private bath worth it.

United KingdomShame their wasn't a mixed pool.. & the gym was to small with no windows or tv. You couldn't run outside due to the heat, so a gym with windows or tv to distract you while running inside. I'm being very picky here which I don't like because our stay their was lovely. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
The breakfast was great but could off had more hot options for the customers.
