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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Not many negatives, just few honest tips for improvement - pillows are flat, breakfast was good in general, but it would be amazing if therw were some cheese options and having a space under the bed would be huge plus given the smaller rooms. We stayed in APA in Tokyo and there we were able to put luggage below the bed and have some walking space in the room.
Good location which is nicely connected to all parts of Osaka and couple of metro stations are nearby. It was very clean, breakfast had a lot of options and in general was quality food. Overall it was good stay for us for 5 nights

The rooms are very small. There is no storage space for suitcases to be unpacked - we stayed 8 nights at this property and having to open up our suitcases for anything we needed constantly got pretty annoying. There is space to put your suitcases under the bed but nowhere to unpack it. If you need to do washing here I suggest going to a local laundromat as the dryers at the hotel take a long time to dry anything.
Very convenient location just down the road from a train station that gets you to anywhere you need to go. Staff were extremely friendly and assisted with anything we needed. Towels are replaced daily and rooms are cleaned every three days. Extremely well priced and great value with comfortable beds.

The room was very small, but I know that Japanese houses/rooms tend to be smaller.
The location was perfect. Very close to a metro station connecting to the center of the city, but also in a quiet area of the city. Not too far from the main train station either.

Check out time was 10am :( We’ve stayed in quite a few countries hotels, first time we’ve come across an early check out, we’d rushed and left our mobile charger in the room.
Staff were helpful, everything in the hotel was digital also, street market and metro were just across the street. Very convenient location.

The hotel is tucked away from a busy street, making it pretty quiet. It's close to stations, which is convenient for getting around. Several convenience stores are nearby. The service was nice, they lent us umbrellas for the day. The bed was comfortable.
