Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

FranceThe bed were reaaaaally hard ahaha
The property is huge and clean with a very nice bar in the basement area and a modern rooftop. The rooms are a bit small but well designed to put your luggages under the bed, perfect for few nights in Kyoto!

AustraliaLoved the communal areas especially the chill out basement and terrace area with the jazz performance on Saturday afternoon. The room design was great. We had a double/single bunk room for 2 people which was very generous with space for luggage. Excellent restaurants and shopping within easy walking distance.

IsraelThe shower and toilet are on another floor, which means you need to take the room key with you when you need to go, and also to walk through the reception with your pajamas…
I stayed in a dormitory room with 9 other girls, and it was very quiet.. There is a curtain for each bed, amd it’s very isolated from the rest of the room. Location is super!

DenmarkThe rooms were small for two people with big suitcases (we knew this beforehand, though). It would’ve been nice with more hooks in the bathroom for towels (there was only one), and cozy warm lighting for evenings.
Clean, comfortable rooms. The best part of Kyoto to stay in - on a quiet street, near many shops and cafes. Loved the lounge areas and big rooftop!

SwitzerlandIt‘s not the cheapest but worth it.
By far the best Hostel we‘ve ever been to. The location is great, you‘re within walking distance of everything. They have huge common areas, a rooftop, a bar, and a big kitchen which are all very well maintained. The rooms are nice and big enough and they have lots of showers and toilets so you‘ll never need to wait in line.

United KingdomA little small for us as well had large bags, but wasn’t a huge problem.
A beautiful hostel and incredible location. Just two minutes walk from the Nishiki Food market which is a must see in Kyoto. Also very close to all the bars, clubs, and some great restaurants. The staff was so friendly, and the hostel itself was very modern, equipped with a gorgeous bar area where they play what live jazz on the weekends! The rooms were also very clean, simple, but do exactly what you need them to. TV has Netflix, YouTube, Prime etc. The shared toilet/washroom facilities were also very clean and spacious. One of the best hostels we’ve stayed in!

United KingdomIf you want a room to yourself it can get a bit expensive, although the pods are very affordable.
Genuinely the best hostel I've ever been to, the decor is beautiful and the staff (especially at reception) were amazing, recommending me young underground venues and bars that are far away from the tourist trail. I'm even a big fan of the music they play around the buildings (modern jazz crossover).
