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.).

United StatesThe location was convenient, right by the ski lift and rental facility. The owners were very communicative and lovely; they provided helpful tips and travel logistics. The facility was clean, tidy and well maintained. The homemade breakfast was tasty, well-balanced and nourishing, a highlight of the stay. Signing up for the private baths was easy. Overall, really enjoyed our stay.

AustraliaThe couple who run Oyado Tamayura are delightful. The hot baths after a days' skiing are AMAZING. The location of the guesthouse - right next to the main lifts and a short walk into town for restaurants etc couldn't have been better. And Nozawa Onsen was just perfect for us - the village is typically Japanese with so many options for meals. The scenery amazing. The best five days of our whole stay in Japan.

AustraliaAbsolutely incredible stay. The owners were so lovely and helpful with anything you needed. Facilities were great and the private onsens were great after a long day skiing. The lodge is pretty much a ski in ski out. Its just a short walk from the ski storage room at the accomodation to the snow. Breakfast was great. Room was perfect, clean and spacious. I wish I could rate this accomodation higher than a 10. Was genuinely incredible and for a very fair price. Thank you for such a great stay. I will be back!

SingaporeEverything was great. I didn't have the provided breakfast as I like a slow start to my day and breakfast ended at 9am.
The hosts were very friendly and worked hard to keep this accommodation clean and in good order. The room was modern and quite large. The proximity to the gondola was fantastic. I liked being able to book the traditional bathing facilities for private use. Having a warm soak at the end of the day was very relaxing. It was useful to have a fridge and kettle in the room, with communal microwave to prepare snacks / instant meals when I didn't feel like going out for dinner.

Right next to the Nagasaka gondola, Tamayura is perfectly placed. The hosts are extremely helpful and friendly, and made us a simple but delicious breakfast (much better than many other ski lodges we have stayed in) each morning. The private baths were also excellent after a hard day’s skiing - I would recommend this place to everyone.

AustraliaAbout the only thing that would make the property even better would be a private shower however the shared facilities were always clean and available when needed and as said the onsens were outstanding!
Fantastic location at the foot of the Nagasaka Gondola, wonderful hosts who really look after their guests, Kazu and Kana really made us feel at home from when they picked us up from the bus terminal to dropping us off! The room was spacious and cosy and the bed was comfy, there was also a choice of pillow depending on your need! Good selection of western and Japanese food for brekky and the dining area was really cosy, a great to spot to watch the snow falling and check the snow conditions from. We loved loved the in-house onsens which you can privately book, they were so relaxing and therapeutic after skiing all day! Would definitely stay again!
