How guest reviews work
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 are 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

A little further away from Dotonbori approximately 15 min walk but the walk was enjoyable. Osaka was our last major city on a 2 week trip and our legs were pretty sore by then!
Clean, apartment set up and staff were all amazing!

Upon arrival we were immediately greeted in our own language (Dutch) by Kylie. Of course thats just luck. Everything she did after that was just great. I told her that finding vegetarian food with our small children was a challenge in Japan. After that she researched places we that could visit and the next day she gave us a list she wrote up. Thanks to her we have a souvenir with our children's names on it in Japanese. What she did for us was way beyond what we could expect as service from a hotel. Thank you Kylie!

Family room initially felt a bit boxy with low ceilings, being up amongst the office blocks without a view - but we actually really liked the layout in the end & appreciated the space.
Location was fantastic - walkable to Shinsaibashi shopping strip & Dontonburi restaurants & nightlife, but in a quiet tucked away street so you could rest & escape the craziness. Near to multiple convenience stores for snacks & subway stations. Friendly staff who helped us arrange restaurants & transfers.

We booked the wrong room type ( 2 bedroom apt with 1 toilet & shower). We tried to upgrade to 2 bedroom and 2 showers toom but hotel is fully booked. So have to be careful when booking their 2 bedroom apt ad there is superior 2 bedroom apt and deluxe 2 bedroom apt
It is located on a quiet street which is a plus for us because osaka is always packed with people, walking distance to osaka famous districts like dotonbori, shinsaibashi suji and namba

It would have been nice to have a washer-dryer combo in our apartment that we didn’t have to pay for. And we could hear someone upstairs from us thumping/stomping around late at night.
The family apartment we stayed in was clean, could fit all 4 of us, looked like it was fairly recently refurbished and had a kitchenette with a fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle and stove. There was a rail in the bathroom for hanging wet towels or washing and an effective exhaust fan. There was a coin laundry with a few washers and dryers on the ground floor. Front desk staff were unfailingly polite and helpful, with excellent English. The location was fantastic - 2-3 minutes walk to the train station and 3 konbinis, and 10-20 minutes walk to shopping street and Dotonbori.
