Martin, United Kingdom

Staff spoke English so it was easy to communicate.

C, United States of America

The pod hotel exceeded my expectation. Very clean and comfortable with a fabulous city view from my pod. The staff were very friendly as well as the other travellers staying in the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

Anita, Australia

Friendly hotel in great location for a fair room rate. It’s not a luxury hotel but doesn’t pretend to be.

Colin, Portugal

Convenient location to bus stop to go to major attraction such as Kiyomozudera, Kinkakuji, Gion ,and many more locations. Clean and quiet. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Tamae, United States of America

The staff were amazing, polite, friendly, helpful and efficient.

Deborah, United Kingdom

The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. They even let me run back into the room after checking out since I had forgotten my watch. The housekeeping staff did their job with pride and the rooms was made to almost perfection when we got back the first day. The rest of our 4 day stay we didn't have the need for house keeping therefore we had none.

Andy, Sweden

Coin laundry a valuable, walking distance to nishiki market and a train station

Danika, Australia

Location. Comfortable bed. WIFI access is very good.

Knuniko, Singapore

Breakfast was amazing, they have a lot of different options and every day they add something new. The staff is very helpful and the hotel is also very clean. Just a short walk away you have a market and a shopping area. The bus and metro station are also located a few minutes away.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

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...).
