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):
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.).

United KingdomRooms are fair sized - not large by euro or USA standards.
It says it’s a 3 star hotel but easily a high 4 star. Decor, ambiance, facilities (onsen) set it apart. Location is fab for Gion, subway, 7-11, culture and Kyoto main Shinkansen station 10 mins by taxi

The hotel was very well placed, in a calm street close to the hyper center of Kyoto. The rooms were very quiet and clean, and the service was excellent. They even have daily shows of "maiko" (similar to a geisha, but in training, and from Kyoto) in the lobby. In terms of facilities the hotel has everything you might need, including a traditional japanese bath (sento). Thank you very much to the hotel staff for their excellent service during our entire stay. We will definitely come again next time we visit Kyoto.

United StatesLove this property! Nestled in a quiet area with surrounding trees and close to rails as well. Also close to Nishikki market and other shops. The rooms were spacious for Japan. Each room had a small table and chairs, which was really nice to eat or sit and relax. I just really loved the calmness and the relaxing space after a long day out.

United StatesThe breakfast was pretty basic and got boring very quickly. If you leave ANYTHING on the bed, they won’t change the sheets.
Great location and good value. Close to lots of great shopping and food. We were there for over a week so we got pretty comfortable. They had a bunch of mini events which was nice. Live music for half an hour. A short performance from a maiko. The onsen was nice and they will sell you tattoo cover up stickers. The front desk had parasols and umbrellas you could borrow for free and bottles of water. They also had a help yourself toiletries shelf which included sunscreen, which was really appreciated. Helpful staff.

AustraliaThis hotel is rated as 3 stars but it exceeds that rating by a massive amount. Quiet, clean and beautiful it was excellent. The location is well within walking distance from anything you could wish to see and experience in Kyoto. Nishiki market is just a short distance from the front door and having the river right by meant a leisurely walk in the cool of the summer to Gion was one of the most enjoyable experiences of our stay. Facilities were amazing and had everything you could hope for. Great price and staff were brilliant.

United StatesIf you are not a fan of traditional Japanese breakfast then I would suggest not getting breakfast here. It was good quality but the western options were limited.
The room size was very spacious for a family of four. We loved the tatami room with paper shutter. The beds were very comfortable. We got a double room with futon and it was a good size. The room has a separate entry which is perfect for storing luggage. Also a HUGE plus was the public bath (men and women separate) perfect for relaxing after a long day sightseeing. It was an excellent stay.

South AfricaThe onsen wasn’t as great as some of the other places we have stayed in Japan. But the main issue was the location as it was a minimum 10 minute walk to any meaningfully useful station line. That might not sound like a lot but in the heat it really wasn’t great. It also meant we ended up walking everywhere because we would have had to walk 10 mins, catch a train and then walk another 7 minutes - when the whole distance could be covered in a 25 minute walk. So there was a lot of walking in the heat.
Nice room with comfortable beds and bathroom. The hotel entrance is swish and they had a Maika dance exhibit in the evening.
