We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaThe laundry system was my only issue with the hotel. There was only 2 washer/dryer machines and they were constantly used or had people lining up to wait for it. It didn't dry clothes well so people were not thoughtful and just kept the machines for themselves for hours at a time. I was desperate to use it one night and waited from 10pm to 2am but it was never free. Had to go to a public laundromat which also had a line.
Loved the area, close to train station, markets and shops but in a quiet neighbourhood street. Our windows were blocked out for privacy, but we still had plenty of light. Room and bathroom was spacious and clean. We spent most of our time exploring Kyoto, so didn't have the chance to enjoy much of what the hotel offered. But we loved the complimentary massage chairs and toiletries and coffee.

AustraliaThe rooms were small, only one bed for 2 adults and a child - but for Japan they were standard.
The property went to a lot of effort to make a mid-range hotel very comfortable and welcoming by the added extras. Free snacks, happy hour cocktail, geisha visit, onsen, massage chairs - it was great!

United KingdomPossibly the time it took us to get our clothes washed or use the massage chairs, but that is not down to the hotel but to the amount of people staying.
Where to start, we absolutely loved this hotel! We ended up spending more time in the hotel than planned as our 2 year old was teething so she didn't eat or sleep well and was tired and hungry and we had to cancel quite a lot of sightseeing and stay in. The room was excellent, breakfast full of choice (even for a dairy free toddler), and the evening light meal was great as dinner for a fussy little child. Coffee during the day was a life saver as was the onsen (they provide tattoo stickers too!) Location was good, close to Nishiki Market and some other spots but also close to the public transport that can get you anywhere you need to go. Honestly, we plan to go back to Japan and if we go to Kyoto, we are booking this hotel again!

ItalyFor the size of the hotel, there're not enough washing machines and dryers, only two 2 in 1 washing-dryer machines, which has limitation for the weight of clothes, and they are always busy.
The value of the hotel is good, strongly recommend, it offers free morning coffee and afternoon snacks, drinks. Location is good too, there're so many tasty restaurants within 5 mins walk distance, short walk to bus stations and train station, and yet quiet enough at night. The reception staff is always friendly.

United KingdomThe only thing that caught us out in Kyoto was the luggage transfer is two days from Kyoto. This is not an issue with the hotel but it is important to know when travelling around Japan!
Staff were friendly and approachable, very helpful. The rooms are clean and modern. This was our second stay and I feel they have maintained a very high standard. Finally the onsen is a great facility that is exceptional.

We had a great stay. We booked 2 double twin connecting rooms which was PERFECT for our family of 4 (mom, dad, 2 teenagers) The staff was very friendly. It was very clean, quiet and pretty inside. We added breakfast (was a Buffet ) onto our stay which worked out great. They also had snacks in the evening which was free to all guests, my kids loved it! They also had luggage storage which was very convenient because we arrived before check in. Train station less than a 5 minute walk. The only thing to be aware of is a lot of restaurants in the area close on the earlier side. There is a 7/11 very close which was great for snacks and drinks. We would highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Kyoto!

United StatesThere are only 2 washers for laundry for the entire hotel guests. In addition, one day we were sitting at a table in the lounge, a staff member spoke to all the rest guests in Japanese or English about the happy hour was ending and asked if they would like anything else, except us. Not sure if it was our race/ethnicity or anything, apparently we understand English and he just skipped us and ignored us. By overall we enjoyed our stay.
The lounge is on the 1st floor is open all day, offering drinks and snacks throughout the night. The happy hour is free, including wines and cocktails. The public bath is great and love the breakfast buffet.
