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 reviewA fantastic find in Ikebukuro! A great location and the room was full of thoughtful amenities. Impeccable cleanness and getting to stay in the ladies only floor was a plus.
I’m sad I only stayed for one night. I would have loved to spend more travel time at this hotel.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was good.
I had a frustrating stay at Hotel Resol Ikebukuro due to an unhelpful front desk associate. When my iPhone died during a trip, I politely asked to use a wall plug in the lobby to charge it briefly so I could continue navigating the city. The associate flatly refused, offering no explanation or alternative solution. To make matters worse, they taped over the wall plug afterward, which felt petty and unwelcoming. This lack of basic courtesy left a terrible impression, and I won’t be returning.

Verified reviewMy go to hotel in Tokyo. About 10 minute walk from Ikebukuro station meaning it is a little quieter area. Next to entrance to Higashi-ikebukuro station and Sunshine City. Lots of restaurants and shopping. Small room but always very comfortable. Had a small issue with my room after a couple of days but staff were quick to resolve and switch my room. Staff always happy to help, even if using a translator. Able to leave luggage before and after checking in/out.
A little dated with cleanliness but did not ruin my stay

Verified reviewHotel location was perfect, in a relatively quiet side street and less than 10 mins on foot from Ikebukuro station. Yes, there is a konbini nearby (on the corner less than 2 mins from the hotel) and several others within walking distance. However, in saying that you are within walking distance of many very good and affordable restaurants and cafes. Also in Minami park nearby there is farm to table cafe. I only had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. It was buffet style with both Japanese and western breakfast options. There was a good selection on offer, however breakfast is only available until 09:30hrs so get there early. The room was small but you had enough room to open a medium size suitcase and still be able to walk around it. Loved the fact that pyjamas were provided and what amenities you couldn't find in the room, were available in reception to stock up on. Apart from a kettle, there was also a mini fridge in the room, which was a godsend on hot days. Staff were friendly and spoke English. Which I'm always grateful for. Would I stay here again, most definitely, I already did!
Only negative thing about the room was the view from the window or better said lack of one. My room looked out onto the side of a buildings grey concrete wall. On the plus side, it was quiet.

Verified reviewThe room is nice and clean, you have everything you need. The bed is very comfortable. You get water and new towels every day.
It’s a bit walking from the station, so after long days it’s a bit far. It’s small (we know it’s Tokyo) yet we didn’t place to open the luggage. They clean only once in 4 days. The air conditioner was full with dust, so when we tried to use it all fall at us. In overall it’s nice hotel, but the value for money wasn’t so fare.

Verified reviewAttention to details is key. We delivered our baggage to the hotel through a delivery company and we found them in our room already at our arrival. There’s everything you need in the reception and the staff is very kind.
