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.).

GermanyNothing I can think of really.
I remember going back and forth on booking.com between this place and a couple of others. I am so glad I made the decision to stay at Tomoya. It is very private, quiet, clean, and welcoming. The staff was very attentive. Our room was perfect for 3 people, with the 2 bedrooms nicely separated and with a lot of privacy. The Japanese breakfast (extra fee) was amazing and we had it every day (the food they serve changes a little bit every day btw). The location is very nice, in a very quiet part of town with lots of restaurants around (and 7/11 which was always perfect for drinks and snacks). Overall, great value for money and I would definitively consider Tomoya again if I ever return to Kyoto.

AustraliaHaving a longer stay it would have been good to be able to watch more on TV than just BBC news on repeat. Nothing to complain about.
We stayed for a week in Kyoto so it was great to have more space than a hotel room. We could do our laundry and get our own breakfast. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and everything was spotless.

Philippines1. 10-15minute walk to the nearest train/bus station (we found ourselves taking the taxi more often) 2. In terms of room configuration, I wish the toilet was beside the bedroom so it's easier to get to in the middle of the night.
1. Very spacious and clean, well-appointed room 2. Friendly and helpful staff 3. On time breakfast service, with slight variety even if it's always Western 4. Located in a quieter residential area with nearby good restaurants

United StatesThere was nothing that I didn't like. It was a perfect place to stay in Kyoto.
The hotel provided a calm and clean place to rest between Kyoto outings. The accommodations were spacious and the staff incredibly kind. We mentioned to one staff member that it was our anniversary and the next day they gave us flowers with a note congratulating us. They went above and beyond in quality, performance, service, and hospitality.
