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.).

FranceMy biggest concern was the bed. I might have been unlucky and got a bad room, but you would literally sink in the mattress and feel the metal springs on your back. I woke up every morning with back pain : (
The room was big, well equipped and clean. It’s very convenient to have a fridge and a microwave. Nested in a quiet and typical neighbourhood. Unbeatable price.

GreeceEverything was perfect and convenient.
The room was clean and spacious, the staff were friendly and helpful, the location of the room was close to the central train station of Kyoto. We picked this room because it was convenient for us to be closer to the central station, for easy access to other places like Osaka, Nara and attractions around the Kyoto). The surrounding area was residential, with less tourists but please take this into account and respect its peacefulness. There are convenience stores close to the room. There were also detailed instructions for everything in the room, really helpful!!

ItalyThe accommodation gives more of a 'hostel vibe' rather than a hotel; there are lots of rules everywhere (no check in after 9pm, no luggage storage, no check out after 10am, do not turn off the bathroom ventilation, don't use the AC to hang your clothes... and so on). I imagine it is a consequence of having had to deal with disrespectful tourists in the past, but if you want to feel a little 'spoiled' and taken care of, then it might not be the vibe you are looking for.
Very well located hotel, at a walking distance from the Kyoto station and not too far from the more touristic area. The bedrooms are spacious, with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom for a very convenient price.

CanadaIt was very much self-service. If you are staying longer, they won't clean your room for you. You change your sheets and clean your room. The dryers are very small and take a long time to dry the clothes as most of the washers don't have a spin dry function.
There was free self-service laundry. It is close to a couple of good ramen restaurants, and there was a convenience store around the corner. Not too far from the kyoto station--about 15-18mins walk. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. I appreciated it very much!

Czech RepublicThe water in the shower was warm but wasn't that warm I would like it to be. But it was still alright.
It is located close to the Kyoto station, the night live is a little further though (but you can still get there walking or taking a public transport). The room was private and quiet with a very comfortable bed. There was tea and coffeee and a kettle pot and a fridge and a microwave directly in the room. The receptionist were nice and communication very smooth.

JapanI stayed at the hotel for two nights and was very satisfied during this time. The hotel's location was close to the station and the center, so I could easily get to other places. My room was very comfortable and clean, it was very favorable to have appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave, where I could easily prepare my food. There is also a laundry room where you can wash your clothes for free. In general, it was a place that I liked to stay for my short-term trip.
