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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing at all. The only downside was that we weren’t staying longer!
Everything! The welcome was amazing. Didn’t expect the service we received so it was fantastic! The private onsen you can book out for free (twice per day!) was a brilliant surprise after our day of traveling. Breakfast included was perfect. All the staff were so friendly and helpful which really was the cherry on top!

BrazilThe only small downside is the location, since it's not super close to the points of interest BUT it's just a short walk away. Straight line to Takayama station and nohi bus. It was not a big deal.
Such a beautiful modern ryokan. Very clean. Staff was super kind, they speak some english and it was enough. I loved the room with the garden view, wonderful! The outside onsen was a nice experience (no problem with tatoos or couples, very friendly for first timers). Delicious breakfast, it was japanese one day, western the next.

The manager was so very helpful phoning a previous hotel for me to arrange for some lost property to be sent on. All the staff were lovely. Breakfast was a good experience as was the onsen, although not so much the evening it poured with rain.

AustraliaBeds were quite firm and the shower didn't get super hot.
The staff were amazing, so welcoming. Breakfast was delightful with alternative days between Western and Japanese food. You can reserve the private onsen for a specific time and it was wonderful. The room was very spacious and you get robes to wear which was lovely.the courtyard is beautiful and makes for a great breakfast view.

We loved everything! I was at this hotel 5 years ago and when we've planned this trip to Japan Takayama was on our Must Do list. Immediately decided to search for Ichinomatsu and book it. Onsen is still amazing (even got a lot of snow), breakfast is probably one of the best in our Japan trip and the staff is very kind and helpful. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. We will be back!

FranceThe heating system goes with the AC, is not only very random (we never understood how to make it work consistently) and very very noisy, which deteriorated our nights
Location is perfect, the hotel is great: biggest room we had in Japan. The onsen is fantastic. And what a nice Japanese breakfast!

GermanyWe had just checked out from our stay in this hotel but got stranded in the city due to heavy snow in the region, so we had to spend an extra night in Takayama. Upon a quick research and finding similar prices around town, we decided to book a room again here even though it was a bit more expensive - the onsen was the main point :) Also, the staff was kind enough to help us by calling our hotel in Nagano to tell them we wouldn't be able to arrive that day.

GermanyNot really the hotel's fault, but if you're staying on the ground floor, you might hear some stomping from the 2nd floor - it was particularly annoying as guests above were loud. As a feedback, I think the hotel's staff can highlight a 'quiet rule' after a certain time (like after 22h) during check-in.
I'd stayed in this hotel before a few years ago and it was a no brainer to book it again. Amazing staff, great space, the private onsen is such a great feature.

MalaysiaWe have to change slippers too many times, end up we forgotten which pair is for which purpose already. I hope the owner can simplify this rule or differentiate the purpose of slippers by colours. (example, black for outdoor, white strictly for indoors)
This is a quite well maintained property, we have our comfortable stay, the gardens was lovely and nice especially when it snows. Private Onsen considered clean. Overall it was great. For travel guide, it is great on some recommendations of food, but maybe can also have ENGLISH option?

United StatesThere was no immediate sidewalk when you step off the property. When you walk towards the road there really isn’t much to walk except the drainage bricks.
The breakfast was splendid, loved the Japanese style breakfast. They do give you an option during check in, which is lovely. I also enjoyed coming back to the onsen upon return from long walks.

United StatesFantastic little getaway. Close to train station and an absolute gem of a place. There is a private onsen that you can book and it was magical watching the snow fall through the roof opening while soaking in the hot onsen. Breakfast included and the yukata and yukata overcoat provided were plenty warm to quickly walk between the lounge and the room. The rooms has ample space inside to open luggage.
