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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Authentic Japanese minshuku with excellent location close to the escalator leading to Hakube gondola and also to several Onsen and the main shopping street. The owner is a lovely old lady - just be careful about the shoes and slipper rules. Ski and boot storage in the basement . Breakfast was beautiful, Japanese style and very tasty

AustraliaNothing, it was perfect for our stay and exceeded our expectations.
You need to understand what you're getting; this is minshuku, not a full service ryokan. (but you'd be forgiven if you didn't realise!) The owner is lovely, extremely accommodating, and really exceeds her duty to her guests! Classic Japanese hospitality, which is becoming exceedingly rare, especially in the Australian enclave resorts! The house is old, but has been well maintained and recently renovated; all facilities are in excellent working order. The location is unbeatable, and I think it's safe to say she undercharges for her rooms.

SingaporeIt’s really ski-in/ski-out accommodation. I’ll highly recommend for digital nomad or who just wanna go snowboarding every single morning on onzawa Yuzawa snow resort and doing work at night! The owner is nice, friendly and she can say basic English all you need for just snowboarding and get hot spring over there! I’ll definitely visit her again!

United StatesThe shower did not work, and had to use the tap to get hot water. But this was expected from the reviews, and there are plenty of public bathhouses in the town.
Great location, close to restaurants and hot spring. The inn was on a slope so might be tough if you are carrying lots of luggage. The owner Seiko san was really kind and it was a humble stay.

AustraliaI liked it all. Perhaps a shared kitchenette with simple tea making facilities would make this place even better.
We had such a nice Japanese style room and very comfortable futon mattresses and bedding. Slept so well. The owner is a wonderful lady and so very kind and helpful. The location is absolutely fantastic - right next to the most prominent onsen and right in the centre of town, yet quiet at night. Very close to the moving escalator. It's one of the older buildings in town but that's what I liked about it, it had lots of character. The whole family really enjoyed our short stay. THANK YOU!

NetherlandsYou will need to be prepared for the fact that this is not a real fancy hotel or guesthouse, so amenities are limited. It is just a beautiful real Japanese house you will be staying in.
The hostess is an amazing and sweet woman who can speak very good English and has helped me a lot to find some hidden gems in Nozawaonsen! She also makes great traditional Japanese breakfasts which really made my stay in Nozawaonsen feel like I was actually living in Japan!

JapanThe parking spot is 400m away. Not a major issue since you won't need the car during your stay, but it involves a bit of logistics on the first and last day.
As written by other reviewers, no bells and whistles, but does the job just fine. This a very typical Japanese inn. Excellent location. I would definitely go again.
