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.).

SingaporeMaybe it was very busy time, concierge response time was not very timely but I could understand that. In one incidence, there was confusion on my car pickup. I requested to meet the driver early but was told that it couldn't be changed due to peak season. However the driver actually arrived earlier at my requested time by about 45mins. We were waiting at the hotel lobby but no one informed us until I checked. I fully appreciated it was very busy time so this is just a feedback for continuous improvement.
The hotel is well equipped with full kitchen appliances. Room is very spacious and with Rhythm onsite for ski rental which is very convenient.

Wide variety of food for breakfast and opened early for getting onto the mountain first thing. Shuttle bus excellent, essentially felt a like a ski in ski out resort. Room facilities exceeded expectation and very comfy beds. In hotel restaurants great food, particularly Afuri- great value and worth the queuing. Lovely communal lounge and fireplace for evenings.

United KingdomThe one thing stopping it from getting a perfect score was the lunch provided in place of breakfast. The lunch is offered as they admit breakfast can get very busy with long queues, it is commendable that they have accepted this and provided a workaround for the guests in the form of a lunch on the day you didn’t take the breakfast. However, the lunch is definitely an afterthought and it feels like that. The pasta dish gave “leftover” vibes.
Fantastic new property in the heart of Hirafu. The interior design is stunning, the rooms are comfortable and the vibe in the hotel is elegant but chilled. Couldn’t ask for a better up market ski resort hotel.

South KoreaSome might find its breakfast a little simple. I liked its breakfast, and my partner did not enjoy as much as I did. But both loved its coffee.
This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Contemporary Elegance: A new hotel with impeccable taste. Spacious and Well-Equipped: All the amenities you could possibly need from a well-appointed kitchen, complete with a coffee machine, to a convenient washer/dryer. Fantastic Facilities: Onsen(you might find a better onsen, but this is not an onsen ryokan), a well-equipped gym, and multiple inviting lounges to unwind. Ideal Location: Cose to the ski resorts, right across a convenient store, and within a 5-minute walk of delis and restaurants. Exceptional Staff: They went out of their way to assist me with various requests, including arranging for a book delivery and helping me book activities, even though I had made those arrangements independently. Plus, if you visit Niseko during green season, Setsu is the best choice as many other hotels in the area can feel a little deserted.

NetherlandsWe absolutely hated the beds!! They are so uncomfortable and the pillows are just completely useless. I really do not understand that they put so much effort in designing the hotel, but pay no attention on offering decent mattresses and pillows. At this price point they really should do better. I also did not like the way the breakfast is organized. You have to set up your own table, by collecting knives, forks from a plastic tray. The coffee is offered in a paper coffee cup, which is very poor and weird if you ask me. These are items which should be improved for overall better experience.
The room is light, new, spacious. The amenities in the room, with the dishwasher, washing machine etc are just great. Overall service from the staff is excellent, they arrange everything you request. The design of the hotel is just awesome, they really put a lot of effort in every detail. Do try the suhi omakashe restaurant, great experience!

United StatesFor Hokkaido residents, hotels charging for parking is unusual and leaves a poor impression. I would like that fee reconsidered in order to attract more local guests.
This holiday at the Setsu was a birthday present for my wife, who works hard in the medical field. We were not disappointed and in fact pleasantly surprised at this new hotel in Hirafu. The hotel service was outstanding and the room was beautifully designed with numerous extra appliances (washing machine, dishwasher) that my wife loved. This hotel challenges the five-star Park Hyatt in quality of stay, yet charges half the rates of that top-ranked hotel. The staff kindly wrote a a personal birthday card for her, and a birthday cake waiting in the refrigerator. We were touched by the personal service. Later I met the hotel manager, Ms. Tomata, to express my appreciation. Finally, the private onsen, public onsen, yoga classes and workout gym were a luxury bonus that we enjoyed.
