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):
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.
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.).

United StatesOnly thing that I'd take away points for is its location. It's not too far from the slopes and they provide a free shuttle there, but it would be nice to walk the main street where all of the restaurants are after a long day of shredding and be back at your hotel without having to wait for a ride.
The property was exceptionally clean and well taken care of. Would highly recommend!

United StatesNothing I can think of. It would be nice to have a small gym in the hotel.
Great new hotel in close proximity to the Niseko resort. The hotel has very convenient shuttle service, and there is also a free shuttle that comes from the Grand Hirafu Welcome Center. Rooms are spacious, and beds are comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. There is an onsen and the ski room in the hotel.

United KingdomThere’s a constant bad smell coming from the master room bathroom. Downstairs is colder than upstairs which makes it hard to dry all the gears. We also found a couple of dead stinky bugs by the landing which is a bit concerning.
It’s very spacious, beds are comfortable and cleaning was very on time. Shower was powerful and comfortable. The chalet has parking just outside so very easy if you hire a car to go to the skiing lifts.

AustraliaBeing out of town, it can be difficult to get to and from when your timing doesn’t line up with the hotel or ski shuttles (not running 6- 7 30pm). This is nobody’s fault, but can be annoying.

AustraliaLovely room with great view (1 bedroom/1 loungeroom). Loved the onsen. I had a hire car, so I was fine, otherwise you're relying on reliable, but fixed-scheduled buses to get around to resorts.

United StatesAlthough the Miru Niseko free shuttle provides easy access to the village at the base of Hirafu, transportation to the other base areas and transportation back to Miru Niseko in the evening after the shuttle stops running was challenging at times (unless you bring your own car).
Miru Niseko was a beautiful property with great architecture. The rooms are large (for Japan) and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.

AustraliaExcellent hotel to stay at on a ski trip. Very lovely and quiet surroundings, less than 10 mins drive to the ski village. Regular free shuttle to the ski village made it very easy to get around. The rooms were spacious and well set out. We loved onsen in the hotel, it was perfect after a long dsy of skiing.

AustraliaHousekeeping is so loud, phone ring none stop while providing Cleaning and talk so loud. They didn't really pay attention to their Cleaning they end up leaving the bins without replacing the bag and leaving them in the middle of the room. Some day, there is no PJ for the number of people inside the house, and I have to call up for more.

CanadaSincerely this was an incredible hotel. One of the best I did in all my ski travel. Expensive maybe, but it Worth it. I rent a car so the distance was not an issue. 5 min ride to hirafu village. Free parking at the hotel. Parking for hirafu mountain was not an issue at all, if you arrive before 9am you will have free parking. Everything is easily accessible by car, and the hotel is well located. The rooms are really spacious and beautiful. You have everything you need. Bedding is comfortable (I love the tatami experience). From the bathroom to the living room they provide everything. EVERYTHING IS NEET!! So much natural light in the room. They offered laundry machine free of charge on every level, with free drying till 22:00 pm. Also really convenient. WiFi not the fastest but do the job. Breakfast is very good (not fabulous) you have a variety of japanese and American food. They provide ski storage also. And it's hot enough to DRY your boots over night (a lot a place don't do that) The onsens are perfect and open to 11pm, so that's fabulous. I highly recommend this place. You'll have an amazing stay in Niseko. Thank you for this incredible experience.

AustraliaA minor issue is the property is a little distance from Hirafu village which is walkable in summer (50 mins) but not in winter (too much snow). But there are plenty of free shuttle buses regularly in winter so not a big issue.
Everything. Onsen, room layout, cleaniness, modern and views. The pictures on the website do not do justice to the property. It is really beautiful.
