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.).

GermanyWe could not easily figure out how to "use the parking", beyond just parking the car. When we needed to exit the garage, we got stuck in the exit gate, not knowing what to do. The staff was very friendly explaining that they would "validate" the ticket after us paying the extra fees for the number of nights that we intended to park the car there. After that, everything was smooth. The restaurants in the hotel are upscale and priced accordingly, judging from our experience with the Teppanyaki restaurant (Hoen). The food was excellent but don't expect any Beniana kind of show, they keep it strictly professional to cook great food and serving you humbly.
The hotel was in a central location of Kyoto, within walking distance to popular places such as Gion and the Nishiki Market. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, pointing out where to get the best cherry blossoms viewing or even making dinner reservations. The room was huge (we stayed in a triple), particularly after experimenting Tokyo with much smaller rooms. The hotel also offered very convenient parking in the hotel basement for very reasonable price (extra). Breakfast was very generous, both in variety and quantity. We really liked the small gesture of dropping the daily newspapers on our room door.

AustraliaNothing much really except i guess the train station which is a fair walk in my opinion. But depends I guess if people does not mind walking its a good location.
I like everything in this hotel. The room was big for 3 people, the bathroom was so nice and spacious. Toilet is separate from the bath, shower and it has a separate dressing room. They also provide free drinks with a choice of softdrinks, orange juice and beer replenished everyday. They supply plenty of coffee, tea and nice coffee mugs and cups with teaspoon and saucer. Proper coffee bar. The porter is very helpful when we need a taxi, he is always quick to help. Close to Nishiki Market, Nijo-Jo Castle and other tourist spot.

United StatesThere was only one english TV channel but this is not a problem as I had no time to watch TV. However, the TV allowed screen share from apple and android devices - so one can stream youtube or other media to the TV via a phone or laptop.
Great location. It is very close to bus stops, train stations, a main shopping street, and Nishiki food market. Room was relatively large and can easily accommodate 2 and maybe 3 people. Did not have breakfast in hotel as there a plenty of great eating places and excellent restaurants nearby. There is a laundromat about 10 minutes walk from hotel. Staff was very helpful in preparing the paperwork for sending a bag to another city. Hotel wifi worked very well.

CanadaThere wasn't much to complain about other than the slight distance to main shopping street (just north, about 7-8 minutes). When you are out all day and running back and forth, its adds to the steps.
The staff were friendly, helpful and treated guests rather formally adding a sense of importance (small but a nice touch). The room (Superior Triple Room) was huge with lots of room to spare for three adults (providing both a desk and sitting area (was really expecting a smaller room is is more the norm in Japan). The room and washroom was very well equipped and very clean (given that this hotel is a little older, there was a charm to this room). We purchased the breakfast option, the hotel offers two choices, western style buffet breakfast (reasonable choices food wise) or traditional Japanese style breakfast that was served. Preferred the western but the Japanese formal breakfast was a nice change from the ordinary.

United StatesThe only thing i didn't like was the fact that i paid for breakfast for me and my family and was told at check in that my reservation didn't have that option. But i think it was the hotel's mistake because they mixed up my booking with another guest and didn't correct my reservation back to what it was;so i had to pay for breakfast again for 5 days for 3 people.
The hotel was very nice and elegant, the staff was great

AustraliaThe pillows were very flat and the bed was quite firm. The hotel decor is old and worn and has an old carpet smell about it but they do a good job at keeping everything immaculately clean.
The staff were top class. Professional, friendly and efficient. They went above and beyond to assist us. Always available to answer questions and help. I was travelling with my senior mother who has mobility difficulties and they really took care to ensure she was looked after. The location was perfect, easy to access everything you'd want and need. We drive a hire car and were able to utilise the secured parking on site. The hotel, cleaning standards and restaurant were very clean. Fantastic bath and shower room with toiletries provided including bath salts
