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...).

AustraliaThe room, which I know are small in Japan, but this was small small and could of been cleaned a little better, it wasn't dirty, but just needed some attention. Could not have more than 1 suitcase open at any time. Perfect if your alone but 2 people not so comfortable, but still great value, will just need the next room size up from the double.
The hotel itself is great. Staff are amazing and welcoming, and with amenities on level 2 are great. Location is perfect for what we wanted to explore, with the hotel central for us. Would book again, just next room size up

NetherlandsNot very accommodating or understanding when traveling with a 6-month-old baby. They considered it normal to charge extra just to make the room available earlier — even with a small baby — saying that’s standard practice in Japan. However, we’ve definitely experienced more flexibility and friendliness elsewhere in the country.
Very central. Room is small but clean.

United StatesThe location was great. The front door of the hotel opened up to a covered shopping arcade. The hotel was a 5 minute walk to Motomachi Station. The front desk staff was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. We had a split stay and they kept our extra luggage between stays so we didn't have to haul it on the train.

Right smack in the center of Motomachi. It is IN Motomachi itself! 🥰 Great value for the money! Clean facility with soft and fluffy sheets and mattresses. 🥰 In literally seconds, you’re in Motomachi, and Nankinmachi behind you… for your Kobe Beef cravings. 🥰

IndiaThe best part about this hotel is the location. It's in the middle of the iconic motomachi shopping street. China town is 2mins walk. Metro station is 3mins walk. Habour area is 15mins walk. The hotel is small but very well maintained. Staff are extremely helpful and polite. Rooms are small but functional. Comfortable bed. Added perk is the free hot beverages from the restaurant. All in all wonderful experience. We will stay here again if we visit Kobe.

JapanThere was a table and a chair in the room, but you couldn't work on it, because it was too small for that.
Great location, right in the centre, close to the train station. The room had a smart TV with streaming services. The restaurant had free drink service every day, even if you didn't have breakfast there.

The staff at reception were extremely friendly and helpful, really very accommodating. The hotel was clean, stylish and is also very well located (in Motomachi Shopping street, next to Harborland and a train station with connections to Osaka and Kyoto).
