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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Hong KongThe hotel is within the ski resort which you need to carry your luggages uphill, walking on snow. Recommend walking on the driveway (less snow, easier to access) then walking a bit downhill on snow to reach the hotel

AustraliaWe were charged for 2 breakfasts that our daughter didn’t have and not offered to eat it, and also the portions were very small. Other meals were very nice.location was difficult to get to we were lucky that the owner could assist us, as 2 metres of snow with heavy luggage not easy.the beds were very hard, and hot water not hot enough
A very Japanese culture, ski in and ski out lift close by, we had a view of the lift and skiers and night skiing a beautiful experience to see. Many restaurants great food and found down the road,the little dragon cafe made the best coffee.also a mention for the united cafe was the best food experience worth the walk.

JapanThe room was very dusty and there were stains on the furniture. The bed was very hard and had to be accessed by a ladder. The bed was too short and there were no sheets. The bathroom was too small, which is standard for Japanese hotels.
Perfect location for skiing, right at the slope (that is also used for night skiing). Friendly staff. Discounts for ski rental, onsen and lift tickets were available. Smooth check-in and check-out process, they let me check in in the morning. Good Wifi.

MalaysiaActually, really nothing. Everything is near to perfect here. Room size is big. Private toilet. Super good view. Good food.
First, the design of the house is super western and super beautiful just right infront of ski slopes. I have a once in a lifetime view from my room and also breakfast area! Second, that's the only hostel comes with private room (as far as I know). Third, I actually paid for the breakfast and dinner and I NEVER REGRET to do so (even though you can have some food out there but is abit far). The dinner is just WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL. Experience yourself and you will know what I meant. It is Extremely exceeded my expectation, even after so many days I am back to my country while I writing this review, I am still so in love of everything I have experience here. Come here during winter, must come. And I'm super pleased to be served by the old couple, so simple, so genuine, soooo awe!

Japani am a little bit disappointed because the room i was in didn't have a bidet in the toilet. despite that, the rest was fine.
the staff were very friendly. they guided me to my room. one time i was lost while finding my room from the restaurant, the staff was quick to help me. during registration, the staff explained everything in detail which was very easy to understand. The surroundings were satisfying. it was very close to the ski area. At night, it was calm (little to almost no noise) that i was able to rest calmly.

JapanThe hotel is 70m up the slope from the entrance of the run. The only negative part is you have to carry your lug gauge up the run yourself.
The locations is right in front of the lift! Very friendly staff and high cost performance is the charm of this place. Dinner and breakfast is a must if you’re staying here. You will be surprised how careful they prepare the food with care. We were so glad we had chosen this place over other options.
