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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewEverything was great and it takes about 20min by walk and you're at Dotonbori area. I don't really understand the complaints about the mattresses. If you prefer a harder underground then you'll survive them without troubles.
Thank you so much for taking your time to share your experience with us. We are so happy to get to know that you are satisfied with sleeping on the improved matresses. Since we received severe feedbacks about matresses and took it under serious consideration, we changed better matresses after that. So, we all are glad to hear that. If you have any other feedbacks about our facilities or else, please let us now to improve our guest service, Katsu MITSUWAYA

Breakfast slices of bread
Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing our staff’s friendliness and helpfulness. We’re sorry you felt disappointed with the breakfast. We’d like to clarify that breakfast is not included in our room rate and is not advertised as part of our service. The toast we provide in the morning is simply a free courtesy to our guests, so they have something to eat before heading out for the day. While it may be simple, it is offered entirely at no cost. We hope this clears up any misunderstanding, and we wish you the best in your future travels.

Verified reviewThe hostel felt homely, and welcoming. The dorms were pretty quiet and respectful of other people. The staff were really nice and happy to chat. The bicycles were great to use and really opened up the city.
The location was a little far from anywhere. The breakfast was very basic, but easy to add your own extras with the kitchen. The bicycles were a bit on the old side - they need a bit of love.
Thank you very much for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the homely atmosphere, as well as the friendly conversations with our staff. We’re also glad you found our bicycles helpful for exploring the city. We appreciate your comments regarding the condition of the bicycles. Your suggestions are valuable, and we will keep them in mind for future improvements.

Verified reviewThis hostel is amazing! The location is great, you can walk to most of the tourist spots or take the metro, which is less than a 10-minute walk away. Everything is super clean, and the hostel itself is really beautiful, with plenty of showers and toilets. And lots of mirrors!! But what I loved the most about this hostel was the staff and the walls full of information! The staff are incredibly helpful — whether it’s finding places nearby or figuring out what to do. Every day, there was a board with nice informations: restaurant recommendations, local summer festivals, and even some Japanese phrases for you to learn. So incredible!
Nothing, all great! :)
Thank you very much for staying with us and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.
