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 reviewProbably my favourite hostel in Japan. The staff were so nice and the building was so cool and quirky in the best way. Location was also unreal.
Bedrooms are a little small and can get quite warm.

Verified reviewNothing bad to say about this stay, it was great! Although I stayed in a 10 bed mixed dorm, as a female, it felt safe, private and very cozy, even for staying multiple nights. Highly recommend, would definitely stay here again.

Verified reviewThe location was very good. It was right near the train station so we could do day trips. The restaurants were very close and the food was amazing. The place was very clean and comfortable and overall good value for money.
It wasn't an issue for us, but there are 2 sets of narrow stairs. Other than that, there is nothing we didn't like.

Verified reviewWow, this is an incredible and very cool little hostel absolutely deserving of five stars. The staff are friendly, helpful, and wonderful to speak with. The bed in the shared space was surprisingly clean, comfortable and spacious enough to relax in. Also felt very private. The hostel is reasonably social but was never too loud late at night. Bathrooms were also very clean. I felt so relaxed and at home here and loved returning after exploring all day. Also the bahn mi and coffee are fantastic! I will definitely come back next time I'm in osaka
The slide - because now I want one in my own house

Verified reviewThe staff is incredibly friendly, and the room is both clean and charming!
The windows don’t block out sound well, and outside noise comes through easily.

Verified reviewThe vibe is very social and the staff are the best. They made me and others feel at home and made sure people got to know each other!
The curtain above my bed was not dark enough and the placement was a bit weird so there was some light coming through. It was also pretty noisy at times as the window was placed close to your head.

The location of the hostel in Shinsekai was quite far away from most Osaka big attractions
