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.).

The location was perfect and the staff were some of the friendliest I've ever met.I don't speak a word of Japanese & the host went above & beyond to show me everything using google translate

AustraliaWe stayed in a Japanese style room with futons which is something we wanted to experience but might not be for everyone. Same as the shared showering /bathing area as it is japanese style, but if you want to try something culturally different go for it. There is a 10:30pm curfew which is understandable but not ideal if you’re looking to stay out late.
It is a really lovely family run inn. The room we stayed in was quite spacious and they also have a private onsen. The doonas were very thick and cozy. Highlight for us was the breakfast and dinner meals. Delicious japanese style meals and very filling.

The nicest family runs this place. Incredibly helpful and kind. They were just SO nice! The room that we had was nicely updated, two beds and two futons. The mattress was on a firm side, I'm happy with that but ymmv. Very clean. Japanese breakfast and dinner were amazing- definitely ask for them. Delicious dishes, vegetables and rice were home grown:) A short walk to the bus stop and the ski gondola. A hidden gem

SingaporeThe Nagasaka gondola station is quite a bit of a uphill walk from Oyado Nozawaya, however it is right in the middle of the onsen town where the restaurants and public baths are, and not too far from the Chuo bus terminal too.
The owner and his family was very friendly and hospitable to us, despite the language barrier. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and even helped us on our way when we were rushing for a ski lesson at the ski school. Oyado Nozawaya has its own private onsen if you prefer not to go to the public baths. We also opted for dinner on one of the nights and it was a wonderful experience with all the dishes cooked using produce from the owner's own farms. Overall, we felt like we were staying in a ryokan just without the yukata.

AustraliaThe only thing worth mentioning here is that the rooms (at least the room I stayed in) did not have a private shower. Instead, I bathed in the onsen downstairs which I personally don't mind at all, but maybe not ideal for others.
Amazing location. Run by a friendly family who go out of their way to ensure your stay is good. Really good breakfast. Clean and comfortable rooms with tatami floor mats. Really nice onsen too at the basement so you can relax after a day of skiing. Cannot recommend this enough. Great value for money.
