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 reviewI absolutely loved my stay here. The hospitality was unmatched, and it was such a wonderful start to my Japan trip to be so welcomed into their home. The community that they've fostered in this space is incredible.

Verified reviewVery friendly and helpful owner. Great location. Very clean. Free coffee, tea, mandarin or nuts in the morning. Free laundry. Clean. Nice residential location.
It felt over priced for what it is in comparison to other properties.

Verified reviewI had an amazing stay at this charming hostel in Tokyo! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy. Isa & Yumiko was exceptionally kind and helpful. The biggest highlight is the unbeatable location, so easy to access from the airport. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Verified reviewVery clean Spacious beds Cute common room Quiet area
It is a little far from shibuya - for me that was perfect! No need to be close to the chaos, you can take the subway.

Verified reviewIt is very clean and the room feels comfy. I like the feel-like-home common area which allows us to sit, offers free coffee & tea & some local snacks. It has laundry & drying facilities. I can feel the passion of guesthouse owner from the nicely printed map which recommends nearby places to see & restaurants. Location is superb, the bus stop is just a few meter away and a few metro stations are also within a few minutes walk. I love the walk from the guest house through the neighbourhood to the Sumida Parks.
Can't think of any

Some of the other patrons were very noisy during the quiet hours - nothing to do with the guesthouse though

Verified reviewClean, quiet, really good facilities with all you need (plenty of hanging hooks), and host family was really nice and knowledgeable about the area. Location right near the train station and I found it super easy to get around - Kuramae itself was also lovely to explore.
Got a little stuffy in the dorm room sometimes - but I also didn't ask for other options so that's on me.

Verified reviewWe sleept really well on the madresses. The room was clean and the family kind. Very good location and WiFi.
My spouse had a problem with the draft from the window, and it was hard to regulate the temperature in the room. To be fair as Danes we might not be use to living with an airconditioning machine - and the noise of it. This is a challenge for us i all old houses in Japan. We would be happy to book at Hikari Guest House again

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay at Tokyo Guesthouse Hikari. The beds are so comfortable, space is well maintained and I loved the aesthetic of the traditional Japanese house. I was warm every night and the host Isa is really helpful, kind, and always around whenever I have queries to be answered. I will be back!
Can't think of much, other than perhaps the residents can take more initiative in locking up the main door after midnight for security reasons.
