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...).

NetherlandsVery lovely guesthouse in an old Kyoto house. My room was very spacious, and had a little garden in the back, waking up with the garden view and morning light was fantastic every morning. The shower is shared and you might have to wait your turn, but I preferred to go to the public bath around the corner anyway - such a nice experience! Very nice part of the city with lots of small stores and some bathhouses around. The owner was very friendly, always around to answer questions. There are also bikes for rental, but I unfortunately didn't get around to doing that. I guess I have to come back :)

JapanWe felt a bit restricted since the rule states that we are not allowed to shower between 12~7am. We ended up not showering at all.
There is a Japanese style sliding door at the end of our room, when we slide it open we could step outside to a little private hallway, and we could see trees and plants outside in the yard. The view was very lovely. The room looks very new and has modern air conditioning. The lighting overhead is adjustable as well.

FinlandThey start cleaning the dorm already before 9 am and the washing machine is really loud so it's not possible to sleep long. Maybe not the best place if you want to sleep long in the morning.
Really nice staff. Good location near the subway and family mart. 25 minute walk from Gion. Bed was comfy and had reading lamp (too bright) and curtains and a shelf. Also my big backpack (58l) fitted in the capsule. Shower was comfortable and hot. They also provided toothpaste, facewash, shower gel etc which was really nice. Small fridge and cups to make coffee and small breakfast.

United States of Americabe aware that it is a traditional house so it is small! it’ll be rough to pack/unpack any sort of roller luggage here. the staircase is also quite narrow so be prepared. there is a total of two restrooms and one shower to be shared amongst the guests. i had no issues and was always able to use the facilities fine though.
i love the traditional house and location of this guesthouse! it was very convenient getting around. the host is super friendly and guests are respectful.
