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.).

JapanLack of late-night food establishments, but again, that's because it's located in a quiet neighborhood. Do the homework and get some food before going back to the hotel, and you won't have a problem.
Staff is very helpful...10 min walk from Sapporo Station....In-house hot spring available almost around the clock, and best of all it's quiet. If you are into party atmosphere, this may not be the place.

SingaporeThe tatami beds and the table in the room were all at floor level and both of us had difficulty getting up after our rest. Also the Ryokan uses physical keys to the room and whenever we request for our key, the duty staff at the reception just handed us the key without asking for our names for verification.
The onsen was good. Had the entire rub to myself.

United StatesThe only thing we thought could be better is we would randomly be disconnected from the wifi. We were told in advance the coverage wouldn't be good in part of the room, but even in the good half sometimes we couldn't find the signal. That is not a problem with people though, more of a technical thing.
The room was spacious and pretty, while maintaining a rustic charm. Listed as big enough for four people, and that seems right. Good sized private tub, too. Fit a plus-sized body rather well. Provided hot and cold water pitchers, too. The orange thermos one was AWESOME at keeping water hot. The staff was also very nice. Showed us to our room and helped bring in our bags, and also remembered who we were when we came to pick our key back up after being out. We had a small chat with the cleaners one morning, too.

GermanyComing here after a 10-day campervan trip was more just than a relief in comfiness. The staff was extra helpful with organizing a taxi for our the early morning departure from Chitose airport. Altough we did not manage to have dinner at Nakamuraya, we totally enjoyed ourserlves in their bathing space. Truely a recommendation if you're staying in Sapporo and are looking for a rather traditional place!

The staff had limited English, but we were able to understand thru the translate app. They were friendly and accommodating to our needs. For the value, this was exceptional.

We enjoyed the location, between Sapporo Station and the lively popular shopping and bar area. Overall a wonderful experience and would stay here again if we were to return to Sapporo.

United StatesApple Maps routed my group to behind the property: it was hard to find especially because all the pictures were during the non snowy season. With all the snow it was hard to recognize the front of the property. Also the bathroom was a little bit too cramped for my liking and, there was a gap between the bathtub and toilet that was a little bit gross, but also endearing in a weird, lived in home kind of way.
I liked the ambience and feeling of the ryokan. It very much reminded me of a traditional Japanese inn, it is one after all. The room itself was spacious with some nice amenities in the form of water (both hot and cold), futons laid out already, and it came with yukata for the guests to wear. It was located in a very nice location; about a 7-10 minute walk from Sapporo station. The entrance to the room was very nice; it felt like a miniature Japanese apartment more than anything. Breakfast was very value at ¥1000 per person, and it was delicious.

AustraliaThis was our first ryokan experience and we were so glad it was at Nakamuraya Ryokan. The staff were lovely and we were able to make do with our minimal Japanese and their much better English. The rooms were beautiful and the futons were comfy. The breakfast and dinner were extraordinary, with very generous portion sizes. Everything about our experience was exceptional and I hope we can come back one day!
