Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsPff this space feels really cramped. Theres just people hiding in every single corner. Suitcases everywhere, Socks on the table(?!) No one says hello, showers are busy at all times of the day. Theres literally no space to move. Theres quite a lot of streetnoise and also the airconditioning stopped working in the middle of the night. I dont know about this place. Its not awful for the price they offer, but i was glad to leave.

United StatesI.like the convenient location very near the Shimo-kitazawa station. However, No towels.were provided. We requested on first day thru booking.com messaging but did not get any until 3rd day. One late night when we were trying to sleep, I could hear music that seem to be coming from upstairs (@Burrito?), and people stomping on the floor.

SwedenThe problem was the window in the room, towards one of the main streets in Shimokitazawa... Thin sliding window, which meant you heard everything going on down there, and it seemed to be a constant stream of screaming, drunk people throughout the nights. Ear buds recommended! Looked like about half of the rooms were facing this way, and the rest towards the back street.
The room and hotel in itself was good! We had a double room, which is small but cozy, we managed with several bags! Good heating!

AustriaThere is no staff and not really a check in. They send you a message with the instructions to open the entrance door, even if I have noticed that it's almost always open without digit the code. The hotel is dirty, because they don't clean well. The space in the dormitory is very narrow, almost claustrophobic and there is no space to store luggage.
The location was good to explore the Shimo-Kitazawa neighbourhood.

United KingdomThe property is way smaller than expected based on the pictures. Given that it’s somewhat new it feels neglected and the bathrooms weren’t very clean. Bunk beds that we stayed in are poorly designed - no air ventilation/ airflow, the staircase leading to the top floor is difficult to walk on and the aircon didn’t work in the room we stayed during heat season.
Really good location

United KingdomWe stayed in the double room. It was pretty much a cupboard with a bed, there was absolutely no room other than to open the door and the bed. The headboard is the only place you can place your belongings which was covered in dust and the room opened onto the communal area, which you had to walk through to get to the bathroom/shower. That being said, we were comfortable there and we had a nice big window overlooking the street below. I just think it’s good to go into it knowing what to expect.
The location is exceptional - so close to the station with quick links around the city. Friendly and cool neighbourhood, with lots of food/drink/cafes/vintage shops.

SpainWe didn't see nobody from the staff during our stay. Self check in was sent with a message and they didn't allow to leave the baggage before the check in or after the check out. In addition we were located in a double room just next to the main hostel entrance door and we listened every single entrance into the hostel.

JapanI wish they had separate female and male areas. Also, There wasn't a lot of space to store luggage, so people had to store things in the main area. The shower area was mixed, but the guests were respectful. However, it could have been a little cleaner.
The staff is amicable and helpful. They respond quickly to messages. The location is central, close to the train lines and many shops. I appreciate how convenient it was.

United StatesI stayed in couple others capsule hotels before and this one unfortunately the worst, very uncomfortable stairs to get to the second floor of capsules. Bathroom wasn’t clean and the bed wasn’t comfortable.
I needed last minute accommodation in Tokyo, so it was a life saver with its affordable price. Good location, very famous for its thrift stores.

JapanNeed more strict rules about what guests can or cannot do. People were hanging out in the lounge talking very loudly after midnight. Someone threw their jacket and empty bottle on my bed so when I checked in I wasn’t sure if someone else was occupying my space. The area I slept in had a bad odor. The lounge area was very nice and clean. Overall it’s comfortable enough to stay at for a couple of nights but I wouldn’t stay any longer than that. I think it would be more popular if there was a mens and women only section instead of a mixed dormitory. Staff should be available 24hrs.
Good location.
