Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
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.
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...).

SpainMy stay at Sakura terrace hotel was fantastic! For the price, the spacious, clean room, modern amenities, exceeded expectations. The staff was exceptional—warm, professional, and genuinely helpful, from the friendly check-in to personalized dining recommendations. The value for money is unbeatable, with top-notch service making it feel like a luxury stay. Can’t wait to return!

United StatesI would have like the outlet next to the bed for my phone. Also, I would have like the tv to be programmed into English so I could enjoy what was said on the broadcast channels.
The place looked like the picture. It was clean, airy, clean and the staff were great! However, the shower-head was was exceptional. I want to purchase it for my home in NY. I would definitely recommend this hotel and go back.

United KingdomThe hotel is very conveniently located as it is so close to Kyoto Station, but is on a quiet road so it is still peaceful. All of the facilities were very clean and well kept. There was live music in the bar/restaurant each night and the public bathroom (Onsen) was great. This hotel is amazing value for money and I would recommend it to anyone staying in Kyoto. It's not the most fancy, but it is still very pretty little hotel and realistically you're not here in Kyoto to spend your whole time in the hotel!

-Everything was good! I tried the breakfast for one day and it was so delicious. Limited seating so go early but worth it. Generous when it comes to free coffee/tea and the onsen was great! Highly recommend and would go stay here again and in fact I extended one more night with them. Room was also bigger than usual with ample space for my 1 big suitcase and possibly another small one can fit comfortably.
