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...).

United StatesIt was a littly chilly in the area where we ate food but it wasn't too bad.
Great vibe, friendly staff, amazing food. The room had a very traditional Japanese style and was quite comfy. The meals were great (both in taste and portions). Also quite close to the ropeway.

Beautiful place with amazing hot springs (for private use). Perfect for a relaxing stay, rooms were very comfortable and service was excellent! Tao (hope I’m spelling that right) was very sweet and attentive. We also had dinner and breakfast and food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this place! 👍

AustraliaThere was nothing that we didn't like about our stay.
A little oasis in this beautiful valley. We enjoyed our short stay of one night. The onsen facilities are private and very pretty.Perfect to rest our bodies. We enjoyed spotting wildlife on a walk close by. The dinner was one of the best ones we had during our stay in Japan, delicious. The host was very kind and let us store our bags upon early arrival.

ThailandA bit expensive but it is usual price of ryokan.
Nice and polite staff. They are very helpful. Nice compact hotel with private onsens, two outdoor and two indoor. But the outdoor one you can see a house so we go for indoor one. 6-7 parking lots are available in front of the hotel. Good for the ones who drive. One more thing, staff is very active in chat and response us so fast.

United StatesIt’s not a complaint, but it is a bit remote. So if you plan to do things in a city nearby, keep an eye on the bus schedule
The onsen was amazing with a few options if you wanted something outside or indoors. The hostess was extremely helpful and friendly, and cooked great meals. The decor is fantastic and was everything I had hoped for when coming to Japan.

NetherlandsVery nice ryokan with 4 private onsen (2 outside) and one shared onsen. Big beautiful rooms and private dining areas. Everything you might need for bathing is provided. Lovely, helpful hostess who speaks great English. She was waiting for me at the bus stop , which is next to the house. She was flexible with me changing times for breakfast and very helpful in general. Tastefull food that you can choose from a menu. 12 minute bus ride (every hour) to the Nishihotake Ropeway Station that gets you up the mountains, from where great views if the weather permits. From there it’s also possible to do a shorter or longer hike, I did the 2km, but rather steep climb to the Nishiho Hut. I walked back, but it’s also possible to hike 4km to Kamikochi and take a bus back. Recommend!

ItalyThe hotel is located 30 min from Kamikochi bus stop, near a thermal water source. The hotel has 3 different onsen baths that you can reserve and are private, beautiful. We tried also the dinner and it was a well served Japanese style dinner with fish and vegetables. The owner is very kind and in case she is speaking English!
