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.).

CanadaLoved the place; it was located in a great area, and the property itself was very nice. Everything was super clean, any toiletry you could possibly think of was provided, and the shared space was very cozy and homey yet traditional. The owner, Tommy, was beyond helpful and so kind. He also made the best breakfast sandwiches every morning (wish I asked for the recipe)! Definitely will be returning.

United StatesThe guest house was intimate and traditional, qualities I find nostalgic and exactly what I was looking for. The facilities were clean and modern but had tatami and futon flair. Tommy was exceptionally kind and attentive, by far the most hospitable during my entire stay in Japan across many hostels and guest houses. Guest house Oumi will be my first choice every time I come to Kyoto.

Staff was very friendly, whole place was cleaned every day. Close to Nijo station to take transport around Kyoto.

GreeceIt was the best hospitality I’ve ever received in my life. Tommy made me feel like I was a guest in his own house and never as a costumer. He takes care of every small detail to make sure he offers the best experience. I can’t avoid mentioning of course the amazing breakfast sandwich he prepares for you hot ones you are awake. Next time in Kyoto I’ll most definitely choose the same accommodation.

GermanyThe place itself was super cosy and it felt like home from this first second on. But that mostly was because of Tommy, who made this stay just perfect. Such a friendly human being, super helpful, kind and respectful. I would love to stay again. I’m quite tall (192cm) and the bed was a tiny bit short, but still very comfortable and I slept like a baby :) highly recommend this place. And the sandwich for breakfast was so good!
