Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The staff gave such great recommendations on food spots and where to get a good massage! They also made my husband’s birthday more memorable and special. I also enjoyed their lounge where they provide complimentary tea and snacks. The matcha welcome drink was also quite nice. Very spacious rooms for the price we paid!

Nothing, it was great.
Central location, right next to Nishiki Market. Very clean rooms with comfortable beds and a great shower. Very quiet despite being so close to the busy market. The staff were friendly and responsive. Provided pajamas in the room were so comfortable we had to buy our own to take home!

Fantastic place to stay in an excellent location just down the road from Nishiki Market. Very close to the train/subway/bus options for exploring Kyoto and the surrounding areas. The staff were lovely and checking in and out was a breeze. Our room was spotless, bigger than we were expecting, and super comfortable.

Staff was super friendly! The welcome drink was amazing and we felt right at home. The staff went above and beyond when I lost my hat and phoned a local taxi company for me as the hat was of sentimental value. Every day when we came back from our trip the staff greeted us and was very pleasant! When we left the staff noticed we had left two kitkats in our fridge and came downstairs to give them to us. They really cared about the small details.

The service was truly exceptional. The staff were always ready to help and offered great suggestions, including recommendations for restaurants. The room was spacious, and the bathroom featured a modern Western style, giving the impression of a recent renovation. They provided a wide range of amenities, and the little touches—such as the welcoming drink—made my stay truly memorable.

We were told that the hotel would not provide towels for our children. This was needlessly mean and very frustrating.
The location excellent. The rooms were clean and of a decent size (not big but not tiny).

Windows were blocked out with opaque film that made you feel boxed in.
Peaceful, zen like hotel that smelled delicious as you walked in. Clean, with high quality amenities and supplies. Location was good, very close to Nishiki market, shops and a range of cafes. Around 10-15 min walk to three different subway stations.
