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.).

NetherlandsIt was more expensive than I am used to paying for hostels. In saying that, Kyoto accommodation in this area is outrageously expensive and it was the most affordable I could find. Plus, it was probably the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in.
The location was pretty central and very easy to get from the train station. The Hostel was incredibly clean, the bathrooms had loads of showers and the staff were really helpful. The luggage storage was great to have too. The rooms are small but perfect if you're going to be out for most of the day.

AustraliaNo TV in room and cannot use speakers in room but glad to see everyone complying with this request as well. Matress was a bit thin so you will feel the wood.
Nice hotel in a nice neighbourhood. Very close to the subway station and only a couple of stops away from Kyoto Station. Lots of food options nearby as well. The hotel is essentially a capsule style hotel with similar rules. Shared bathroom and shared showers. No TV in room but it is literally a place to put your belongings in and explore this town. met all my expectations. WIFI is exceptionally fast.

United KingdomThe showers being on a seperate floor were a minor inconvenience I'd also wished the vending machines had small snacks, not just drinks
Perfect size room for a solo traveller. Appreciated having my own space for a reasonable price. It was conveniently located to get most places in the city by metro, walking or bus. Staff were nice and friendly helping me check in and out. Had a really nice stay.

JapanOnly downside: there’s only three breakfast options so if you’re staying for longer than that you’ll have to eat the same things.
Breakfast is served at a Japanese fast food restaurant next door (Don’t confuse Japanese fast food with American fast food - it was really delicious!). The shared bathrooms are clean and it’s a bargain especially if you’re getting a room for four people.

SingaporeThe location was great, it's a ~15mins walk from Kyoto main station and a ~7mins walk from Kiyomizu Gojo station. It's also a 20 - 30mins walk from most of the main attractions e.g. Gion area if you enjoy walking this hotel is in a perfect value for money spot. The bathroom amenities were great, I pretty much didn't need to use any of my own toiletries, and they have a QR code for you to check how occupied the bathroom is before deciding to head down for a bath! I stayed alone in a double room so there was more room for luggage but it might be slightly squeezy if you're staying in a single room with more luggage. It's pretty much a hostel with private room rather than a hotel - but i think that is quite clear in the room description itself. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to help me with calling one of the restaurants. :)

CanadaRoad outside can get noisy, but that's more on the motor cyclists than the hotel. Keep in mind your showers may be on a different floor than where you are sleeping.
Walking distance from Kyoto station and Gion district. Checking in was pretty simple using the machines there. Room was clean and they provide casual wear and decently sized towels for hotel use.

New ZealandWe picked this hotel as it has laundry facilities but there are only 4 machines & you are lucky if you get to use them, there’s always a line & other guests are hanging around the door waiting for a free machine. We managed to score one but for 2 people it took a very long time to get through a handful of stuff we had each. If they had more machines it would be great. Otherwise very happy with our stay!
Close to a station, close 7/11, McDonald’s & some restaurants. Very easy to pack your mattress up each day so you can use the room space. Good vending machines, luggage storage & the staff were excellent. Locations has a lot of great backstreets to wander, even found a fabric shop which made my day!
