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.).

The property was modern and hip. I like that they have music each night and drinks upon your arrival. I love their location to station.

United StatesDrainage in bathroom wasn't great, flooded floor, don't leave clothes on the floor if your going to take a bath. Beds are cheapish spring beds and not as comfortable. Pillows are small.
Location is great! Close to major station and shopping. Free drink and very nice lobby and entertainment. Laundry and public bath. Room was on the larger size and air purifier and air conditioning worked great. Room looked and felt very nice. Balcony.

FranceEverything was excellent 👌
The variety and quality of the breakfast was fantastic. My favourites have to be the French toast and the Kiwi and Mango smoothie - absolutely delicious. Lovely bar area with a fire pit, and we enjoyed the free drinks every evening. The location near the main Kyoto station was perfect. The staff were lovely.

United StatesMain entrance is very difficult to find and lack of directional signs. Mattress needs replacement for room 1321. The coils were broken and uncomfortable to sleep. Dinner is not worth the money.

United KingdomPillows weren't comfortable but we did not mention it to reception so didn't give them the opportunity to rectify. We chalked it up to experiencing Japan.
Loved the hotel. Location was really convenient for Kyoto Station. Had dinner the first night in the restaurant and thought quality and value for money was really good. Staff were friendly and helpful with much better English than my Japanese. Loved the communal area, which was in use even during the rain. The fire pit was a lovely touch. They have a public bath on site and didn't blink at a single tattoo, though more ink may pose a concern. Would happily go back the next time we're in Kyoto.

The building has an open courtyard with fireplaces and cozy areas to sit and chat to other travelers. They offer a free drink every day which is a nice touch. Great location behind the station, and very quiet at night. Room size was ok, and we had a good size balcony.

Amenities, the massage chair and the public bath houses. These made the stay worth it. There's live music almost everyday and that was very enjoyable. Free drinks around the hotel was also a great touch. Staff speaks great English, very easy to communicate.

New ZealandSlight weird smell in the room, and no coffee in the room. You had to go to the coffee bar in the lobby to make a free one if you wanted one
Near Kyoto Station. Free alcoholic drink each evening. Lovely restaurant on site. Great onsen and spa, and lovely massage chairs. Onsen is typical Japanese onsen, with Japanese customs, but I lucked in and had it all to myself each time. Many options for hair and skin products to use free of charge
