What guests complained about
2/10
Not a pleasant experience
Didn't like: Bed and pillows were really bad uncomfortable was really awful! The room full of dust couldn’t sleep as coughing due the dust. Was the worst stay I had unfortunately.

Meh.
Didn't like: The welcome I received when I arrived did not seem professional or what I expected. I would expect a hotel of this reputation to show more flexibility and thoughtfulness towards guests.
Liked: I wanted to stay at it based on the reviews but the welcome I received was very unfriendly so I moved to another hotel

4/10
Didn't like: Location is depressing. Staff is really unfriendly. Many tourists who travel by bus seem to stay here as a group.
Liked: Spa is ok. But you can find better, certainly for that price.

4/10
Not the value expected
Liked: Below expected level : ;never take room 606 as you'll have a wooden fence in front of the window meaning no view at all and an unconfortable feeling . Employees are friendly but the hotel services are linked to small papers gived to you : one for the free drink ( and reminder it's one , no more ) , free drink is tea or fruit juice , small papers for the breakfast( crowded , insufficient space ), small papers for the baths , in the lounge , etc .... The hotel is dedicated to mass tourism , mainly from central asia .

Questions
Why read the bad reviews first?
A high average can hide a minority of bad stays. Hotel Mystays Asakusa in Tokyo has a guest rating of 8.1 out of 10, yet 89 of its 941 reviews since October 2024 are 1–2 star: about 1 in 11 stays went badly enough to say so. The rating alone doesn't tell you that, or what went wrong.
Summaries can soften complaints too. In July 2026 the consumer group Which? found AI review summaries on a large travel site describing hotels as spotless while guests reported illness, and advised reading the one-star reviews. This page shows them directly.
Where do the reviews come from?
From our booking partner LiteAPI: guests who booked through Nuitée, plus Tripadvisor reviews. We read up to 1,000 reviews from the last 24 months, newest first. A 1–2 star review is a score of 4 or less out of 10, and the share is counted out of all those reviews, so you can tell a few bad stays among hundreds from a pattern.
Are reviews edited or translated?
The text is the guest's own. Reviews written in another language show an English translation where we have one, with the original one tap away; the others have a link to translate them. Complaint topics, such as noise or cleanliness, are counted with plain word lists from the English text, so every number matches the reviews you can read. Reviewer names are not shown.
Can a hotel pay to remove a review?
No. No hotel can pay to remove a review or to rank higher on Staylist. Staylist earns a commission only if you book through its link, and you pay nothing extra.
Why does a hotel have no reviews?
Not every hotel has reviews from our partner yet. Small and new hotels are often missing, and coverage is lower in mainland China. When that happens we suggest nearby hotels that do have reviews.
How does asking my AI work?
The buttons open your assistant with a question and a link to a plain page of the hotel's reviews, which assistants can read. You can also paste the sentence yourself, for example: What do the bad reviews of Hotel Mystays Asakusa say? https://staylist.world/reviews?hotel=Hotel+Mystays+Asakusa. The link is a plain page of the hotel's reviews that assistants can read.
In Claude you can also add Staylist once and ask about any hotel without a link: open Settings, then Connectors, add a custom connector named Staylist World with the address https://staylist.world/mcp. Developers can also call /api/hotels/{id}/reviews?filter=bad.
