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 reviewQuaint hotel close enough to Kyoto station for convenience but far enough from the hustle and bustle. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very spacious and the little garden out front was very zen to look at.
There seems to be a leak somewhere as there would be a pool of water at the sliding doors overnight, but we couldn't hear any water dripping, neither did it affect the stay in the room as the staff cleaned it everyday.

We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our convenient yet peaceful location, the spacious rooms, and our small garden, which we are thrilled brought a sense of serenity to your experience. Furthermore, your warm words about our staff's friendliness and helpfulness truly mean a lot to us, as we strive to make every guest feel valued and cared for. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the water pooling near the sliding doors. We appreciate your understanding as our staff worked diligently to minimize the impact during your stay. Please be assured that we are investigating the source of the issue to ensure it is resolved promptly and does not affect future stays. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again should your travels bring you back to Kyoto. We would love to provide an even more seamless and enjoyable experience on your next visit.

Verified reviewThis was home for me and my sister for just over a week and it was an amazing stay! The rooms are gorgeously designed and the beds were almost as comfortable as sleeping in my own bed at home. I loved the bathroom design and the water pressure from the shower is incredible! I loved the fact that our bathroom had a shower room with tub/shower combined into one because it made it feel like I had my own personal bathhouse. The staff are super attentive and friendly. We did not get to try the breakfast during our stay since we were always up and about super early in the morning since the days were really hot/humid, so we were always trying to pack in as much sightseeing/hiking as we could before the middle of the day where it was pretty brutal. The location perfect at is close to all the major sites in the Kyoto as well as the main train station. It is in a very nice and quiet residential neighborhood, and some of the rooms even have views/balconies towards Shōseien Garden although ours did not because we requested the largest room which is faced the street. We truly enjoyed our stay at Kikokutei Bekkan and I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Kyoto!

Verified reviewWe loved this little hotel and the great hospitality they are offering. It is a unique combination of Japanese traditions and modern lifestyle that gives you perfect comfort. Bed was super comfortable. Room was pretty big and specious. Bathroom had both bath and shower and was very modern and well designed. There were great cosmetics available as well as toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, and pretty much everything you might need during your stay. We had a room with a Japanese garden style patio which was amazing, so pretty and such a pleasure to admire. The room was very quite. Our room was cleaned and tidied daily. Staff was very nice and friendly. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely recommend this hotel to others!
