How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The only thing worth mentioning here is that the rooms (at least the room I stayed in) did not have a private shower. Instead, I bathed in the onsen downstairs which I personally don't mind at all, but maybe not ideal for others.
Amazing location. Run by a friendly family who go out of their way to ensure your stay is good. Really good breakfast. Clean and comfortable rooms with tatami floor mats. Really nice onsen too at the basement so you can relax after a day of skiing. Cannot recommend this enough. Great value for money.

The staff truly care. We were welcomed with excitement every time we came back into the building. The rooms were very clean and open with heating. The onsen was quiet and very hot. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. So many food dishes delivered, many with their homegrown veggies. You can tell they truly care.

The window is not double layered, which can be quite cold at night as i didn't know how to set up the air conditioner properly at first. It was getting ok after i set up the air-con with the right setting.
Fantastic location right at the center of the town. There is an onsen at the basement with natural spring water, which is super convenient as free public onsen have no bathing facilities and are quite cold before dipping into the onsen. Staff are very friendly and greet you every time they see you.

From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave you feel welcomed and cared for. This is a family run hotel that provides service which exemplifies what the hotel experience should be. The location is perfect, 1 minute walk to the best eateries and onsen area. It’s very close to the ski resort - a short walk. The room is large with a seperate dining area. The large Japanese breakfast was outstanding, the produce used grown on their farm, even the rice! Obviously there was enough nutrition to last the day, we didn’t need to eat until dinner time. We’ll be back for a second visit.

Very very minor - the heater made a clinking chime sound which sounds like an morning alarm.
The staff and the location were perfect. I can't remember the last time I was treated so well. Located very close to the bus stop, the best public onsens, great restaurants, and a short walk to the moving walkway. They let me store my luggage after checkout. I was able to spend another full day skiing and visiting onsens. The breakfast was excellent. I didn't order dinner but the prices for both breakfast and dinner were very reasonable. The building even has an elevator.
