Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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...).

United StatesWonderful experience beyond words! The location is conveniently situated by the river so good for walks to the train station. It is within walking distance to a few shrines. The property has 3 rooms on 3 floors and owned by family. Rooms are spacious and have everything I need. I am impressed by the attention to detail. The bed is very comfortable. The staff are super friendly and efficient. I will definately come back to stay next time I visit Kyoto again.

This was my second time here. The hosts of this family-run small inn are so welcoming and helpful, and the rooms are really comfortable. The location is close to many major sights (museums, temples) and right around the corner from a train station if you want to go farther.

United StatesIt would be great if the room were a bit larger, but then we’d have to pay more. We were quite happy the way it was.
The inn is beautiful, very clean, modern, and comfortable in a convent location. The breakfasts were great. The hostess, Emiko-san, was incredibly helpful and super-nice. Her mom was great as well. It was almost like being part of a family. We really enjoyed our stay.

United StatesWalking distance from the Kyoto station is a little bit far while lugging around a few suitcases. (About 20 minutes depending on your pace)
We have a lovely stay here. Emiko and her family were lovely hosts! The room was nice and tidy, and the beds were comfortable. The location is very close to the Keihan Main Line, which made it very easy to take the train to places like Fushimi Inari and Nishiki Market! Kiyomizu-dera is within walking distance as well as the Gion district. Various restaurants are nearby, in addition to two close Familymarts. We opted for the breakfast option and it was delicious! A different breakfast was provided each morning, and they were a great start to our day. Overall, Emiko's place made for a lovely home base as we explored Kyoto!

Fantastic, warm and kind hosts! They are so friendly and helpful. Emiko gave me directions and information when I told her my plans and also helped with up with a lift to the train station instead of getting the bus. The location is great - very close to the bus stop and only 15mins walk to Kyoto station.

United StatesOur stay at Kyo Anthu Inn was nothing short of perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness by Emiko, making us feel at home right away. The rooms were immaculate, , and provided a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The homemade breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Emiko and her mom Yoko went above and beyond to help us navigate the city, offering fantastic recommendations and helping us with reservations for local restaurants. The location was ideal, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet conveniently close to public transportation and major attractions like Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu-dera. After a long day of touring Kyoto, coming back to this cozy and welcoming place felt like returning to a home away from home. Emiko and her father drove us to a restaurant and later to the Kyoto train station on the morning we left the city. She even walked us to the subway station on our first day out in the city. If you’re looking for an authentic, warm, and memorable Kyoto experience, Emikos place is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to return!

PhilippinesA very minor thing, but the bathroom sink is inside the shower area, so in case you need to wash your hands shortly after taking a shower, you won't have a choice but to step on the wet floor.
I really enjoyed my stay here! Location is in a residential area, making it a quiet respite after a whole day of sightseeing, while still being conveniently close to the center. Breakfast was also tasty and kindly brought into the room daily. Emiko-san and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. She even gave me a ride to Kyoto Station on my last day and always checked on me daily to see how I was. Very kind family. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!
