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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaNothing at all.
Both Otsuka JR station and Shin-otsuka Metro station are a short walk away. Quiet area with convenience store and restaurants nearby. Secure access to hotel room floor from street via lift. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The in-house 24/7 coin laundry, and amenities such as plates and cutlery available on request were a bonus. Large, comfortable bed with sleepwear provided. Well-equipped room with electric kettle, stove top and microwave.

United KingdomI would say this room would be perfect for a solo traveller but a couple we found the bed and room a bit tight. I think is good value for Tokyo especially it's location.
Great location, short walk to train station and 7/11 opposite. We enjoyed the quiet neighbourhood and a few restaurants were around that we tried. Reception was helpful and there were some free amenities and the option to borrow straighteners which was a nice touch. We used the coin laundry service twice, it was helpful that it is open 24/7 and onsite. The room was clean and a fridge in the room.

MalaysiaThe facilities and environment are good but can be improved, because some loose furniture and room environments look quite old. And the clothes dryer are not very functional.
There is a man staff that have a very great attitude and very helpful to us. Not sure about his name but he was midnight shift. We have some health problems and he tried his best for giving us any assistance. His kindness makes us feel better even I’m sick.

ThailandPillows and bed are too hard. I literally got back pain after having slept for 2 nights. I can't recommend this place for people who are sensitive to stiff bed like I am because it is seriously not tolerable.
Perfect location. Good Value for money. Helpful staff. Very good amenities. Very easy to access and very good safety. Everything is almost perfect for its value.

SingaporeNothing. Wish we could stay longer there.
Location was good. Just 5 mins walk to Sunshine City bus terminal. There is a convenience store right opposite the hotel. Close to Toden Arakawa tram line but a bit of walk to the JR Yamanote line. Toden Arakawa tram is just a stop away from Otsuka JR station. Room was quite spacious and equipped with microwave oven, kettle and essential amenities. My friend n I could lay out our suitcases comfortably. Bed was comfortable. Sleepwear was provided. Amenities also available at the front desk

It’s very well managed, good staffing, within walking distance from a JR station, not far from a shopping mall.

IndonesiaThe staff doesn’t speak English. Must improve since the location is in Tokyo and near Ikebukuro, plus this is 2024. Also the staff not flexible at all, I’m willing to pay some for early check in, in other Mystays in Osaka they will calculate 1/2 price from full day price, but this is they asked me to pay extra 1 night if I want 3 hours early check in, staff cannot communicate at all in English.

FinlandThe shared laundry room wasn't the cleanest but it was mostly an issue with the dryer filters.
Really good price and location, everything in Ikebukuro was within walking distance and it was close to the train and metro stations. The rooms are small but quite cozy, I was worried if all our luggage would fit in but they all fit no problem (four suitcases and two backpacks). This hotel would definitely work for longer stays as well, we stayed here for almost two weeks without any problems. Staff is really nice and helpful, but you'll definitely have a bit better experience if you know Japanese as it was easier for us to communicate in Japanese instead of English. Will definitely stay here again!

CanadaBeds were very firm and we found the room to be humid at times.
The location was great. located in a quiet area , 5 minute walk to Otsuka Station (has access to Yamanote Line making it every easy to get around all of Tokyo). 15-20 minute walk to Ikebukuro and close attractions. 7-11 right across the street. staff was super friendly, and understood/spoke some English. Our room was nothing special, quite small but it did the trick for our 5 nights in Tokyo. The shower was nice and water was always hot.

United StatesThere's a huge step to get out of the bathroom. But I think that's very common in japan because of the ways the showers are.
The Location was great. Ikebukuro is a gem in japan that some Americans don't know about. Also the Tram drops you off right outside from Otsuka station when your really lazy to walk up a hill.

I liked that the hotel was near convenience stores, walking distance to shopping mall and train stations. The area felt very comfortable walking around. I loved the fact that you had a 24 hour laundry facility, it was very convenient and much appreciated. The staff was very friendly and a few spoke and understood English, thank you you very much!
