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...).

UzbekistanThe room could be a bit cleaner. But the main problem was the lack of heating, provided only by the A/C unit and so not equally and effectively in the room.
Very well located. Very nice, efficient and helpful staff. The common room is clean and well maintained. The room is well organized. Great atmosphere.

AustraliaThe common watering jug was full of moulds. I had to clean it off. (For travellers: The place is clean-as-you-go, so even the rubbish from the bin must be brought down when full.) The room is also tiny, but that’s ok. It’s what you get for the price
Amazing staff, value for money. Everything was comfortable. The place is a walking distance to all the must-see areas in Asakusa. I love the common kitchen area! You can cook, heat up food, wash your dishes, etc. They also have a space for lounging and playing the guitar/some boardgames

AustraliaEverything was great. We stayed for 3 weeks and loved our time there. If there had to be something it would be that our room had very little natural light, and did not have a japanese toilet.
Lovely small hostel with shared kitchen and lounging area. It was a really nice social space and the staff and other guests were all very friendly. The properties location was incredible and truly the best place to be in Tokyo, it was near a few walking only areas which made it super chill and lovely to wander through.

AustraliaThe only disappointing factor is that my friends in the family room needed to use a separate shower downstairs. The hot water in this shower turned off at a certain time in the evening, which was not ideal in the winter.
The staff were absolutely exceptional, the most accommodating hostel owners/workers I've ever encountered. The location was also good - great food away from too much hustle and bustle. The downstairs facilities were also homely and welcoming, with everything we needed.

GermanyBasically I have nothing to complain, since the hostel, of course, provides rather a kind of basic but very convenient service. However and unfortunately my WiFi access did not work flawlessly (but it worked - maybe, this was because I booked through a third-party booking platform which hotel/hostel owners sometimes consider disadvantageous for them so that they provide rooms then with bad WiFi access or other limited services). Moreover, I had to heat my room through the AC/heating device by myself (which is, however, understandable and acceptable, considering the energy savings generated by this approach). A bit disadvantageous was that the only way to heat the bathroom was to keep the bathroom door open to the living room.
This accommodation is a hostel which provides a very good service. I would say that it is specializing in rather young travelers, who need a reasonably priced accommodation while having a basic standard for living, good access to the city sights, an opportunity to cook for yourself in the community area and to meet other travelers, while having also your own room as a retreat. The staff is internationally minded, fluent/native in English and helpful based on an extraordinarily good, welcoming, a bit American-style (in the positive meaning of the term) service attitude. A plus is that the hostel works and is equipped, according to basic Japanese custom, which provides the guests an idea of true Japanese lifestyle (e.g., you have to take off your shoes before entering the hostel, which is a custom in all private Japanese houses as well as in many Japanese restaurants). This authentic Japanese experience gets extended by the environment of the hostel. The hostel is not very centrally located (but with shops, nice restaraurants and convenience shops around the hostel) but well enough that guests are able to reach all sights within a reasonable period of time, considering the size of Tokyo. However, Tokyo's Skytree tower is relatively close. Relatively close are also subway lines (e.g., Ginza line) and bus lines that make it also well manageable to reach the airports. Considering the price level in Tokyo the price/performance ratio of the hostel is very good.
