Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesWe enjoyed it all.
We really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, traditional Japanese style room. Amazing, multi course dinner, and traditional Japanese breakfast. The onsens were very nice, including the opportunity to use a private onsen. Very kind staff.

New ZealandThe food at this place was quite incredible - so many different dishes and the staff so helpful in explaining how to eat them. The private onsen was in a lovely outdoor setting. Our room was comfy (although didn’t personally like the style of pillows) and very quiet at night and it’s just a short walk to the bus stop to get that first bus (6.30am) to Kamikochi. Totally recommend staying here.

CanadaThe rooms have thin walls so you can hear other guests, talking, walking etc. If you are a light sleeper, wear earplugs. The room halls and bathroom also have squeaky floors.
Location was only a few minutes walk from the Hirayu onsen bus stop. There are 2 private onsens to choose from, free of charge for guests to use. They serve free traditional breakfast with great presentation. The hosts kindly hold luggage before and after your stay. Traditional yukata and haori are provided for all guests and traditional slippers too. Free cookies and tea are provided.

AustraliaThe only issue is that there isn't much in town - there's a general store but no konbini. Meals at the hotel are expensive but amazing and need to be booked in advance.
This is a beautiful hotel, clean, and with very friendly staff. It has private onsens as well as female and male ones. It's about a 10 min walk from the ski field and 5 mins from the bus station. The rooms are well heated and come with private bathrooms.

SingaporeNothing to dislike.
Location is perfect as its near to the Bus Terminal and small restaurants. The dine-in meals (breakfast and dinner) is good. The accommodation though is simple but it provides all the necessity and very clean. The futons are comfy and the accommodation has an inhouse family onsen.

PolandI do not recall any inconveniences.
Very close to the bus station, we stopped here on our way from Matsumoto to Takayama. Japanese-style room (ryokan), on the table a Japanese tea set (a teapot and bowls) with good sencha tea is waiting. The available natural hot springs are a great place to rest and relax. Meals in an atmospheric atmosphere in a yakuta with haori. Dinner is really delicious, quite decent fine dining. Breakfast is equally good.

IsraelThe ONLY thing that might be less convenient for others(I personally didn’t have any problems with that) Is that only one window has “blinds”. Notice that natural light enters the room at all times.
I loved everything about my stay. I took the room with the private toilets and shower. It was so modern and clean, yet still very Japanese designed. They thought of everything! The room had all i needed. Even the lighting at the sink - was perfect for make up! The room was HUGE and could easily fit 3 futon beds. The lighting was so warm - loved the Led lights around the tatami stage!!! I stayed for two nights. On the first breakfast, i told the staff i can’t eat some stuff (pork and more). On the second breakfast, they remembered everything i said and prepared a breakfast especially for my needs!!! It was so lovely. I used the onsen only once - it was very relaxing

SingaporeNothing!
Extremely friendly and helpful staffs that made our stay a memorable and enjoyable one! It seems like a small-scale, family-run ryokan which turns out to be our best stay of the trip. Hospitality, food and cleanliness were top-notch. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious with generous portions. The location is right next to Hirayu onsen bus terminal.
