How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Maybe a short selection of movies from the TV. Unfortunately the location did not have any sauna or laundry machine which would be useful for me.
The staff was always welcoming me with respect. They satisfied my request of having a room with view from window facing the Skytree. Room was well cleaned.

This is a clean hotel with a very nice staff. Plenty of little touches to make your stay very good. The location is very close to transportation and the price is great! The room is small but has a little desk/table and refrigerator. Strong water pressure in the shower.

Incredible tiny room. The smallest I've stayed in my whole trip to Japan. The bed mattress is soft and uncomfortable. 🙁
The neighborhood is quiet at night but just next to train station hub and with a Mall within 5 walking minutes. Staff was lovely.

- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
Because of this experience, I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again, despite the rest of the stay being generally OK. One day, I ordered food via Uber Eats to the hotel and, since I don't speak Japanese, I asked the front desk for help calling the restaurant to check if the order had been dispatched. The answer was: "Sorry, Uber Eats is an external service, we cannot help." I explained that I just needed someone who spoke Japanese to make a quick call, but they repeatedly refused. I understand it's an external service, but it was disappointing that they wouldn't assist a guest who clearly needed basic language support. This made me wonder how they would respond in a more critical situation. 🤷🏻
The hotel is in a great location — away from the crowds of Akihabara but just a short walk from JR and metro stations. There are numerous restaurants and izakayas in the area, offering options to suit every budget. The room is medium-sized compared to other hotels in Japan, and the elevated bed is very convenient for storing luggage without taking up space. It also includes a mini fridge, hair dryer, and electric kettle. Towels and pajamas are provided almost daily. The air conditioning works well, and the TV displays useful information, such as cleaning schedules (every 3 days) and package deliveries. Overall, the staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive — though there was one issue that bothered me, which I’ll explain in the “What I didn’t like” section.

I have stayed here 3 times and other than the pillows being a bit hard there is nothing else I don't like about this hotel.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was off the beaten path so not much noise at night.

The bed and pillows were a bit uncomfortable. APA pillows tend to be weird (to my taste), and the bed is always a bet (the mattress often feels uneven).
One of the best of the APA chain. The hotel appears to be very new, or at least newly renovated, so everything looks fresh. The staff was super polite. Everything is super clean, well-explained, and well-organised. Location is insane: 2 minutes walking to the nearest entrance to the Hibiya line, and 5-10 minutes to Akihabara station. The neighbourhood is super lively and pretty. Many eateries and convenience stores around.

Nothing in particulars.
Considering all rooms on Tokyo are small, we were expecting a small room. However it was comfortably organised, with many toiletries and pyjamas. The location was very good, near the stations and many amenities. The stuff was very friendly, kind and helpful. They arranged for our bags to be delivered to our next hotel and even notified us we forgot one bag in our room and arranged to get it returned to us.

The one elevator might not be enough when the hotel is full, but fair concidering the price. Please try to add English subtitles for the Japanese VOD titles, no dealbreaker but would add extra convienance for all foreign tourists.
Good value for money for the location. Free VOD service with nice current titles. Free limited breakfast on a external location. Great support for the baggage delivery service.

No facilities at all, not even a laundry room. Also, breakfast is just silly: you pay 1000 yen extra, and they tell you to walk 10 mins to some coffee shop, only to get a sandwich and a bowl of cheap soup. Not a big deal though: just don't pay for breakfast, and you'll be good.
Just regular APA hotel, clean and neat.
