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 KingdomNothing.
Excellent working space (better than most libraries and hot desking venues). Huge communal area. Very helpful staff. Peaceful dorms. Comfortable, adjustable double beds. A kitchen you actually want to cook in. Free beer hour every evening.

JapanStayed at this place before and would stay again. The capsule is large and spacious, great quality. The rotating breakfast of bread, soup and yogurt is a quick charge up for the day. All in all, fantastic value.

NetherlandsIt was a perfect stay, nothing bad to say.
I liked everything. I travelled by now 50 countries and stayed in many hostels and this one is in my opinion one of the best. the location is perfect, the service amazing, the staff friendly and so many ammenities. You can exchange your towels as often as you need to. the communal area is great. The workspace is perfect for remote work, they have social drinks in the evening and free water refill in the kitchen. The sleeping pods are very smart organised and built. what i especially likes is that there is no sound or light polution in the pod so the sleep is great. The bathrooms were also great, enough toilets and showers and a good washing area with sinks, hair dryers and mirrors. Additionally there was a laundry maschine directly in the dorm.

United KingdomThat said, my only issue was the mattress. It was noticeably worn out and I honestly didn’t get the best sleep. The beds have a unique design that allows them to convert into sofas, but this seems to create a dip or dent in the mattress making it cause a dysfunction in the mattress over time. I’d strongly recommend the hostel review the mattress conditions and consider replacing any that are no longer up to standard.
I’ve stayed at this hostel before, and once again, it was an amazing experience. The beds and shower rooms are spacious and clean, and the overall design is modern, stylish, and thoughtfully laid out. It’s a very traveler-friendly hostel, but also quite popular among digital nomads thanks to the co-working space available on-site making it ideal for anyone working while on the move. The location is very central, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the price is excellent for what you get. Whether you’re here for leisure or work, this place ticks all the boxes.

United KingdomThe breakfast was very small and was only a basic offering of pastries with orange juice and a yoghurt. It would be better to not pay for the breakfast and get food from outside to put into the fridge for the morning.
The location was central and not far from Gion. The capsule was comfortable and modern with light switches and outlets for charging. There is space under the bed for the luggage. The shared bathrooms were clean with amenities. The beer hour was fun and I met some people and went out for dinner and drinks with them. The shared space is bright and sociable and the kitchen was useful if you want to bring your own food. Breakfast is eaten in the shared area.

ItalyMaybe the price is a little bit high, but considering that you are in Kyoto, it is still a good price. I didn’t like the fact that there were no switches in the room and you had to control everything including lights via iPod (which is in the room)
There are plenty of amenities. You can take a fresh towel at the lobby, which is very convenient. In the late afternoon there is a happy hour where you can get a free beer and chat with other people. The location in the city is central, it is easy to get around. I would certainly recommend The Millenials to friends if they come visit Kyoto.

New ZealandNight time got hot, first night I didn't have the fan facing me but seemed on 2nd and 3rd night it would nearly stop working through the night and wake up sweating although bloody hot outside too.
Location is on the main st of Kyoto with plenty of options for food and shopping, size of the capsule given it is a capsule style hotel although not the typical. The bed changing to sofa to allow room to change was handy instead of having to do it in the hall or take clothes to bathroom and the slide out luggage tray under bed was great, plenty of room. Plenty of opportunity to interact with other guests in the communal areas, free beer for an hour certainly brings everyone together. Having bike hire on site very handy. Staff also rung my next next hotel to confirm okay to forward luggage for them to accept instead of me plundering through the language barrier, much appreciated!
