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...).

We loved everything at the hotel during our 5 night stay. We were promptly picked up and dropped off at both the ski resort and the local station on the hotel shuttle bus. The staff were lovely; polite and super helpful. Coffee machine in the foyer, ski room, onsens, and the beautiful Japanese dinner and breakfasts were to be experienced.

ThailandBed topper is too thin so your back can feel springs below. Bed is very hard. Faucet is old style so difficult to control water temperature. Breakfast main dish is small portions but delicious and nice presentation. you can eat more breads, juice , soups …. at buffet stations .
The hotel has beautiful characters that passed its glory days but still charming and well maintained . Staffs, services, room, dining room which has very beautiful super-large glass window/wall so while having breakfast we saw very beautiful autumn trees 👍😍.

ThailandWhen we first step into the room, we thought we smelt of urine smell as the bathroom was nearest to the door. Upon checking the bathroom, it was clean, so perhaps its odour from the toilet, and all needed was a few air fresher spray that you can find in the room.
Homely, cosy yet comfortable place to stay. Travelled with my son who is checking in for the 1st time to a nearby school, and as it was a totally new environment, the front office was very accomodative, responsive to all my queries prior and during my stay. Our check-in process, and arrangement of shuttles were top-notch, and special shout-out to Ms. Tomoko Morimoto, who speaks well English despite her shyness, and her passionate interest to ensure each tenant of the hotels are well served. Kudos to the front-office team. The onsen is a must try. Arigato gozaimase

JapanThe futon mats for sleeping were not very comfortable, and rather thin.
Beautiful location, a perfect little winter getaway. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. The outdoor private onsen was lovely. We were able to use it 2 times during our short stay without waiting at all. Staff were friendly and helpful, and some even spoke English. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, and it was so nice to have those planned with the booking.

The Staff went beyond the call of duty to make our stay comfortable. I suffered an injured knee at the nearby ski slopes during our stay. The staff helped arrange for necessary visits at two different hospitals, and the hotel changed our room to make our stay easier. It was as authentic Japanese hospitality as one could expect. We are really very grateful, and look forward to many more return visits. (The food, bath facilities and rooms are, needless to say, all completely wonderful as well. The private outdoor baths are clean and comfortable. I also highly recommend having dinner at the hotel. Very delicious.)
