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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SingaporeI was given a connecting room and the walls were thin. I could hear my neighbour.
Nice little hotel that's well designed. Feels homely and the room is spacious. I was very excited when I first arrived. I liked that I could see snow outside my window. Beds were comfy and the temperature of the room was well controlled. Breakfast was not too bad either, considering I stayed for five days, I ate well.

MalaysiaDuring winter, the shuttle always fulled or behind timetable due to weather. So after wait for one hour (since 3pm around end of Dec at grand hirafu Gondola), I have decided to walk 2km back to hotel in heavy snow day. Restaurant no open at night. The room i stay, yotei room for 4 pax, if not mistaken, 402 had noise due to the strong wind passing through the corridor outside and the door is a bit loose still after close and locked.
Great stay. Restaurant in hotel offer great lunch. Good hospitality. The male japanese receptionist helped a lot in looking for a taxi. Although cant get a taxi at last, appreciated it a lot. The hotel provide free shuttle. Beds, room, staff all were great.

United Kingdomthe property is a little out of town but still walkable (without ski gear) in around 15 mins from centre of Hirafu. In the morning the hotel shuttle buses were provided on request to the gondola. However they never picked up front the gondola even at the end of the day when most kids and adults lessons finish at 1530 at the gondola which is also inconveniently the same time the gondola stops, so you get stranded for up to an hour at the gondola location until the very crowded public bus arrives. not very helpful. Also the shuttle bus stops at 2130, not great when the only restaurant table availability is at 2030…
the bedrooms were well designed and had a lot of storage. hotel staff were kind and helpful.

SingaporeThe service level of the reception staff and housekeeping is extremely underwhelming. The room was not made up throughout the entire 5-day stay. Reception staff were often unable to offer alternative solutions to issues encountered by guests such as travel options. The worst was when we asked one staff to book a taxi and he simply forgotten about it and gave the excuse that it was impossible to get through the taxi company over the phone. The staff did not even try!
The room is comfortable and the location is great. I like the fact that the staff made amenities freely available when they realised that housekeeping could not cope during this season. Breakfast was also really good. Well done! The breakfast crew and free shuttle crew were fantastic and friendly.

JapanNothing in particular except suit doesn’t have a intercom or telephone to reach the reception or staff in case you need any help.
The Yotei suit was amazing and it was large enough for a 3 people group or family. nice view of mount Yotei though the large windows on clear days and you have a large space for relax and have a really good time while your stay. breakfast was also good and the staff is english speaking and some of them are originally English. it’s a ski-in/ski-out kind a resort since Niseko Grand Hirafu is just 5 minutes drive away. all other Niseko united ski resorts are easily accessible from this hotel. they have a ski gear rental on the ground floor which we didn’t use this time but anyone wish to rent stuff can arrange from here. if you book this Yotei suit you can have a free private parking in front of the hotel otherwise you have to pay a little fee.

PortugalThe reserved parking lot was not properly organized. Specifically, there was a guest who did not stop at the designated place because the instructions to the guest were not perfect.
Breakfast was decent and all of my friends liked it. The hotel initially looks like the hostel however the room we stayed was fabulous that they betrayed our expectation in a good way.

United StatesIt's a bit on the edge of town. So, unless you get a shuttle ride, a 15 minute walk is required to get basic necessities. It seems like all accommodation in Niseko is expensive. This hotel is a bit pricey by Japan standards, but not for Niseko. The room quality makes up for the extra expense.
Newer hotel. Room was spacious and clean. Staff is excellent, friendly. For the time I was there (during covid) not many guests so it was very quiet.

JapanWhile room is big, it does not have a desk (unfortunately I always have some work to do on vacation, and this was a problem as the property does not have a business room or a lounge where you can sit with you computer). Restaurant is only for breakfast and sometime open for lunch, so you need to go outside for your meals. Shuttle operates only in morning and early afternoon, with a break at lunch time and last shuttle at 16h00, this means that you need to either walk (around 15 minutes) or take pubblic bus (stop is at around 200-300 mt) or a taxi to go to Grand Hirafu: not a huge problem (we like to walk for istance) but it could be annoying if you coming back from ski area with your equipment and you miss the last shuttle.
Very well maintained property (it has somehow 10 years but it looks brand new). Room (we had Yotei suite) was big for 4 people and with nice view of Mount Yotei. Good western and Japanese breakfast, and convenient shuttle from Hotel to Grand Hirafu. Staff has been very helpful and always tried to fulfill our requests. Highly recommended and will come back again.

JapanNo shared bathing facility (Onsen) - which I sort of consider a must for any winter sport location. A few more places to hang and dry ski wear in the room would have helped. 10-minute walk to Hirafu center, which we didn’t mind but some people would find a bit annoying. Also, Shuttle only covers the Welcome Center Hirafu resort entrance, not the Grand Hirafu entrance with the gondola. We went over New Years so the price was very steep. Normally better value for money 😉
Modern, clean-cut hotel with incredibly helpful & friendly staff. Bathroom was modern and clean. And the shampoo and shower gel smelled amazing. Shuttle service to one of Hirafu‘s resort entrances ‚Welcome Center‘ (Unfortunately- but understandably - the hotel shuttle did not cover the night skiing times but they offered to pick us up if we gave prior notice, which speaks again to the amazing staff).

Staff : Friendly and informative western staff, so there are no language barrier. View from the room : View from Mt. Yotei from the window(if the weather permit) was very nice.
