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.).

Japan1. The electronic lock on the door was difficult to use. A simple instruction explaining a two- or three-finger operation would have been helpful. 2. The automated check-in system allowed us to check in early, but a staff member still attempted to charge us an early check-in fee. This seems to defeat the purpose of an automated system.
Very nice location. The room was clean and super spacious.

United StatesSuper basic amenities… they don’t even have teaspoons in the room with the mugs. We had to ask for plastic spoons, which they did bring and we really appreciated but I was surprised they weren’t in the rooms.
Super convenient location right across from the train station. Great for our last night in Japan so we could just head to the station in the morning. Overall clean and comfortable.

JapanDue to proximity to the station, it was a bit noisy, but nothing that a pair of earplugs wouldn´t fix
We stayed there 4 nights. The room was very big and comfortable. Water bottles were provided daily. It was very convenient to move around the city with train station 2. minute walk away and many bus stops around. I was able to store luggage until my shinkansen out of Kyoto.

United StatesThey only thing I missed was a comfy chair to chill in; I found the sofa a bit hard.
This very new hotel was an unexpected gem. Located on the north east edge of Kyoto station right at the Porta exit A5 it has easy access to trains, busses and restaurants. The rooms are huge by Japan standards and are more like a studio than hotel room, with walk in rain shower and toilet with buttons (in English) coupled with a comfortable Queen sized bed, sofa and table. Access is by key code and there are only three rooms per floor making it very private. I loved it!

SingaporeIt would be great if the hotel can provide a phone in the room, so that we don't have to go downstairs every time just to call the staff. They didn't top up toilet paper for us for the first 2 cleanings. We had to ask for more toilet paper. We had a more thorough cleaning in the 3rd day, which was a surprise.
The room is spacious. They have everything. We also asked for umbrella and spoon. The staff was able to provide. Convenient location. We managed to deliver our luggage to the hotel before our arrival. The hotel was able to keep the luggage overnight for us.

SingaporeWe booked 2 rooms for a family of 4 people and was really surprised about the size and the room amenities. It is bigger than the usual rooms that you will find in Japan. The room amenities were also well-curated. The hotel is also conveniently located right across Kyoto Station. It was easy for us to travel around Kyoto via bus and train. The staff was also helpful despite the communication barrier. I would definitely stay here again if we comeback to Kyoto.
