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...).

South AfricaThe hotel is well-located to main attractions in Kyoto, there are also many nice restaurants and cafés in the area. Facilities include a washer and dryer which was very useful during our stay. The staff were great and very accommodating to all our needs. We could leave our luggage at the hotel after we checked out for a last hassle-free day of sightseeing.

CanadaWe loved our time at this hotel. First and foremost, our room was very spacious - by Japanese standards it was downright enormous. We were very pleasantly surprised when we opened the door. The amenities were top-notch (bathrooms, AC, fridge, storage space, you name it). Hotel was well-located, close to central sites, a bit of a walk (25min) to Kyoto Station but 5-10 minutes by cab. The staff were helpful and courteous. Highly recommend this Stay Sakura property for your next Kyoto trip!

Helpful staff on premise during the day hours. However, note that a sofa in a living room is suitable only for a petite person o a child.

This was the best stay in Japan for us! The location is great, close to all touristic points so you can easily walk but also in a quiet street that you can avoid the crowds and actually rest. It is like 15-20mins walk from the central station and also very close to subway and bus stops. The whole building is very new, well taken care off and spotless. The staff are very kind and attentive. The room is spacious and the small kitchenette has everything you might need for heating up or preparing some food.

United StatesThe only challenge we faced was taxi drivers were a bit unsure of where the hotel was located. There is another Stay Sakura on a main road and they is the one they would initially think to go to. We had a front desk person give us the address in Japanese so that we could give it to the drivers. We actually had a driver have us get out of his cab because he couldn’t figure out the address. The other drivers figured it out but it took a few moments. Once you’re aware of this, and are equipped with the full address both in your language and in Japanese, this is a lovely hotel. They don’t have full time front desk staff, only at specific times. They can accept luggage delivery, but they don’t do luggage transfers from this hotel, so we had to take it to a 7-11 which provides this service to transport our large luggage to Tokyo.
The room was lovely, if a bit small. The small kitchenette was nice to have and allowed for making breakfast and some late night snacking/eating. We absolutely loved the bathroom; from the awesome bidet to the shower/tub room! They have washer/dryer machines for use free to hotel guests, which was extremely useful.

AustraliaNote that reception is not 24 hours. No luggage forwarding. The hotel is a bus ride away from the main Kyoto station, which can sometimes be frustrating if you need to use the main station frequently. Otherwise, nil issues and we had a lovely stay!
Large room sizing was a huge bonus at a very affordable price. There was also fantastic free washer and dryer use. Very clean and standard amenities provided. Fairly quiet as it is not on a main road. Wifi is fast and reliable. They received our luggage forwarding from Tokyo with no issues.

United KingdomMishap with our bags on leaving, we used their luggage service but through miscommunication of employees they were not sent to the desired location, leaving us having to wait for our bags for a while. This was all eased out by the employees though, these things happen. Did not distract from room quality though!!
Superb rooms, double room suite with two bedrooms was perfect for my party. The bedrooms were brilliantly sized and the bathrooms were fabulous - heated shower roof helped with clothes drying and general comfort! Comfy beds with large space for luggage too really was amazing. Not to mention the very super location too.
