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.).

We loved our stay at Pension Nugget Inn. The accomodation felt homely, warm and stylish. Additionally, the facilities are high quality. In term of location, a short walk from the house would lead you to the bus stop, konbini, and plenty of restaurants. The hosts were extremely hospitable, accomodating and helpful. They made us feel completely at home. We enjoyed every interaction with them.

The couple who run the inn are very sweet, accomodating, helpful and friendly. They do not speak much English so having a translator app is recommended for more complicated requests. The rooms were spacious with lots of room to spread out. They have a ski room to hang up and store wet snow gear and washing. The homemade Japanese breakfast was good and filling. There are two shared showers and a female/male shared toilets. The location is right next to the main strip in Echoland where you can get breakfast/lunch/dinner, a 20 minute walk to Happo One and close to multiple bus/shuttle stops to get to any of the ski resorts. We would definitely recommend the Nugget Inn to friends and family if you are looking to stay in Echoland.

Absolutely nothing :)
My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights while snowboarding in Hakuba, and it was perfect! Our room and the facilities were always immaculately clean and they supplied us with everything we needed for our stay. It was also in a great location - quiet, yet close to the bus stops, shops, restaurants, etc. However, what made our visit the most memorable were the incredible hosts. They were the sweetest little couple! They were so warm and welcoming, and you could tell how much pride they put into their beautiful Inn. We can't wait to come and stay here again! Next time we will be bringing all of our family and friends too!

Shared bathroom is kind of annoying if you need to use the washroom in the middle of the night.
The breakfast is awesome and the service was top level. The owners were so friendly and helpful. The welcome wine is also a unique touch.

Everything was superb! Definitely use google translate to communicate with the owners as there is a language barrier.
We absolutely loved our stay! The most gorgeous couple run the lodge, it just made our experience even more special. Comfortable rooms, communal area & bathroom. Very close to Echo land & close to the Free bus stop to the slopes - catch it from across the JaJa in echo land. Highly recommend the breakfast!! We sat at the same table every morning at 7am. We enjoyed a different breakfast each day while listening to soft Japanese music. So Cozy & cute!!

Beware there is a curfew at 12 so if your like me a young traveller, it can tend to be a problem, but 12 isn’t the end of the world as many things In Echoland close out around that time.
Best location in all of Hakuba. Central in echoland where you will meet multiple travellers. Had a room to myself which was great and the staff are two elderly people who go above and beyond to make sure your having a great stay. There very kind people who made me an awesome large breakfast every morning.

We loved our stay here. The hosts are so kind and make you feel very at home. The whole place is lovely and warm, everything is spotlessly clean. The filtered bath each afternoon was lovely. Nice hot showers. We never had to wait for the bathroom either. The view from the room was lovely too - felt like we were alone in the snowy forest! An easy walk to echoland Main Street, close to shuttles. 1500 yen taxi from happo bus station. Drying room at the accom was handy too.
