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.).

United StatesWe travelled with 2 teens and they loved having their separate single rooms, but I panicked at size of the double room I shared with my husband. There was barely space to open one carry on. I ended up opening mine in the narrow hallway, where we had to step over it to get out. The bed was pushed up against the wall on one side.

Brunei DarussalamThere wasn't much to dislike. Wish there were 2 pillows instead of one. Amenities was basic. Wish they have bath salt for me to soak in the bathtub.
Stay there at end of 2024. Location was great as it was between Nara Station and Kintensu Nara Station. Clean Small room but that is typical in Japan. The people at the front desk was friendly and speak good English. They greeted me everytime i go out or come back to the hotel. There were a lot restaurants nearby so choice of foods was endless. Konbini store was nearby.Nara park was a 20 minute walk. Tourist shopping areas was a 10 minute walk. WIFI connection was strong. Windows can be open for fresh air. The bathtub was awesome! You can soak in there for hours as it was deep.😅😅

BelgiumThe standard pillow was very hard. It was a double sided pillow with a 'hard' and 'soft' side, but honestly there was not much difference between the two. Not sure why the standard pillows are not more soft. But that is really the only thing I could complain about : ).
Great location close to the main JR Nara Station, also not that far from the Kintetsu one. Room was small but clean, staff very polite with acceptable English knowledge. There are tons of restaurants and shops within walking distance from the hotel, Nara Park is also not that far from the hotel!

MexicoThe check-out was at 10 am when in other hotels, check-in can be made later, around midday. So we had to wake up early and left almost in a rush the following morning.
The hotel was clean and the location was excellent. It was also confortable.

5 mintute walk from either train station in Nara. Lots of food options around and a family mart too. Room was clean, it is small but it's for 1 person. Best not to have a really big suitcase !

United StatesHotel is tucked back on the boulevard and blends into the quaint street, so easy to miss the front entrance. It might be a challenge to drive up to the hotel for check-in/out, unless there is a rear entrance I don't know about. Perfect for those of us who walk there.
Very close to JR train station and located along a major pedestrian shopping boulevard with very few cars. So no noisy cars, trucks, or motorcycles pass by at night. Lots of cafes, convenience shops, and family restaurants nearby. This main street is brightly lit at night and lots of people are walking from one end to the other, so feels extremely safe all day/night. I had a nice view of this area and its mountains; I woke up hearing bird noises in the morning (a plus for me).

AustraliaThe room was too small for 2 people and one suitcase had to be stored on the bed? But this is Japan and except for nowhere to store a suitcase is par for the course. Old fashioned Air Con control on the bed head. Cooling only is available and don’t know how this works in Winter. Presumably it gets switched to heating mode from a central switch somewhere. Didn’t partake of breakfast so can’t judge it.
Excellent location and close to all the action in Nara.A good price. Very friend.y and helpful staff. Daily room cleaning if required. Able to open the room window and get some fresh air.

AustraliaThe alarm clock and light switch panel and air con was right next to the pillows and your head. If you had the aircon on the lights would be in your eyes, not very easy to sleep. Fridge was very small and a very small room was hard to get around. Needed to ask for a towel with an extra child in the room. I had booked for my son and I but only provided 1 towel.
Nice and close to the main areas of Nara and easy walking distance to everything. Short stroll from Nara main station to Nara Park. Room was comfortable and nice to have a bath for our toddler son. Clean and bed was comfortable and the block out window was great. Ammenities at front desk free of charge and loved the soft toothbrush!
