Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

PolandFrom the first minute of the stay You fell like being part of the Family which is first time in Japan that’s why Okami and her husband want to show You as much as they can about Japanese culture but most of all fell best of the best in Kyoto… and then the breakfast comes what is cherry on the cake :)

GermanyWe don’t know where to start! Everything is just perfect. The best was the staff: so friendly and sweet! You don’t feel like in a hotel, you feel like you’re in a japanese home. There is only 2 rooms, the staff is always there for you and your wishes. You can talk to them anytime, they make you a hot bath, put sweets in your room, prepare you a lunch box, and and and… The ryokan is maintained very clean and has a lot of japanese decoration. The breakfast is authentic japanese and it’s filling you for the whole day. I really enjoyed talking to the staff, you can talk in english and learn about japanese culture or just have a nice conversation partner. If you wish to be spoiled and feel an authentic japanese experience come here and enjoy! we would come again anytime! Best regards!

United States of AmericaThis was such a wonderful, unique experience. The breakfast was so cool - what a way to sample all of the local dishes - and the hostess was exceptional. We spent 9 days in Japan and the day we spent at the Ryokan was a cultural highlight. Please be aware that this is a very traditional stay, including traditional Japanese sleeping arrangements and home rules. That being said, if you’re looking for such an experience, our time at Kamuroan was amazing.

The stay was wonderful. We love the place, and Okami-san's hospitality exceeded our expectations. Place was clean, and spacious. Warm yukata and beds. Homemade breakfast was really delicious. Walking distance to Kiyomizudera. Thank you for the amazing experience! Definitely want to stay here again if we revisit Kyoto in the future.

GermanyI really had an awesome stay at the Kamuroan Hotel. It's centrally located near the Kiyomizu-dera shrine, it's clean and quite at nighttime and the owners (wife and her husband) are super friendly. They will make sure you feel comfortable, and even though their English is not the best (it's rather a mixture of English and Japanese haha), they explained to me some aspects of Japanese culture and how to behave in a traditional Ryokan, you can even wear a traditional Japanese dress. Also the breakfast prepared by the wife is superb! If you really want to experience some traditional Japanese accommodation, I can highly recommend staying at Kamuroan hotel

Kamuroan is situated right next to Kiyomizu-Dera in a prime spot. However, it's very quiet during the evenings, and reasonably so during the day. The landlady was extremely polite, kind, and welcoming. The breakfasts were incredible and homemade; some of the better food I had while travelling in Japan. The room and facilities were clean and well maintained. While sleeping on a futon may not be for everyone, I found it to be an authentic (and fantastic) place to stay while exploring beautiful Kyoto.

AustraliaStaying with Okami gave us a taste of living in a traditional Japanese house and she made a large effort to teach us about Japanese culture, teaching us how to cook Onigiri and Tamagoyaki. Okami went out of her way to cater to my gluten free diet, making us delicious GF sushi one morning! The house is beautiful and in a great location for sight seeing.

The breakfast was superb. The location was excellent, close to or easy commuting distance from the major sights. The proprietor and her partner were welcoming, polite and very helpful. Full marks for this excellent ryokan.
