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...).

CanadaImportant to note that there is no transportation from the hotel to Kutchan station. More of an FYI not anything to do with our stay!
The shuttle was great for getting to the ski hill and Hirafu, and when there were too many people to fit the hotel made accommodations to ensure everyone got to where they needed! Also, walking distance (about 20 mins) which is lovely at night when the snow is falling. The room was comfortable, and spacious for a hotel, and great staff!

TaiwanThe staff were friendly, the room was comfortable, and the breakfast offered a good variety. The location was okay — they do provide a shuttle service, and it’s about a 15-minute walk from town to the hotel. Overall, I had a great stay and would definitely choose this hotel again next time.

South AfricaLimited dining options due to late season, only breakfast available. Not strict enough rules on behaviour. Some children behaved very rudely for several days during my stay. They were running up and down the corridoors of the fourth floor and hitting the doors to rooms of other guests and running away and hiding as if the hotel were their personal playground.
While the hotel is not right next to any of the lifts or gondolas in Hirafu, it's less than 1km away from Family Chair, and the shuttle service is punctual and convenient. The staff are great, the rooms are adequately sized and have good amenities, the laundry was helpful, and the price was very good.

PhilippinesThe place is clean, and the toiletries smell good. However, it’s a bit far, and since the area is really cold, transportation is only available until 7:30. So, if you’re planning to go out for dinner, you should go early because commuting back can be difficult.

United StatesGreat place! 10 minute walk to the main area! Only downside was the shuttle bus. I got an email for the shuttle bus but didn’t go through the days we were staying. It had different times than we were staying from the email. But no big deal! We made it work & checked in & got the updated schedule!

AustraliaBeing slightly out of the village made it annoying having to time a shuttle but the staff were always accommodating, however it was still difficult to go to other villages and get back without using a taxi which are exorbitant
Staff are great and friendly. It’s out of town a bit but is walkable at a pinch to the bars, food trucks and restaurants, as well as being walkable after boarding on the mountain if you can’t be asked to wait for the shuttle.

IsraelBeds are not so comfortable, but good enough. Higher frequency of the shuttle will be great, and adding a stop in the lawson can also be great.
Great value for money in early season. Might be too expensive for what you get in high season. Was perfect as a last minute booking. Staff is very helpful. The room is clean and storage and shuttle service are great.

Hong KongNo onsen. Would be nice if they could partner with neighbouring facilities to offer this. Housekeeping did not replenish the toilet rolls over the 7 nights we stayed and we had to ask the reception.
Room on the small side, but this was okay as we were out and about for most of the day. The bathroom was spacious for Japanese standards and the shower was powerful. USB charging plug points in bedroom. Sufficient storage space for ski gear and other luggage. Nice breakfast spread. Sufficient parking facilities provided by the hotel and it was just a short drive to all four slopes in the Niseko area. The hotel also offers a regular shuttle service to and from the ski slopes and town, though we didn’t use this as we drove.

Singapore(1) The staff were on duty only from 9am to 6pm, after which there was no one around. We felt insecured as any one could just walk into the hotel and it would be difficult if we needed some help. (2) The road facing the hotel front was paved with pebbles instead of asphalt. The nearby parking lot area had similar road surface. It was difficult to walk on. In addition, there was only 1 yellow street light in this area. We needed to switch on our mobile phone torch lights to walk back to the hotel at night although the parking area was only about 20m away.
(1) The whole environment of Niseko was calming - few people with endless fields of crops and grand view of Mt Yotei. The Yotei suite was very spacious (43m2), clean with relatively new fixtures. Value for money. (2) The rooms had good lightings, effective layout and we liked the separated toilet & shower areas. Toileteries were provided with clean water and strong shower. Although our rooms were near the main road, we did not hear any noise. We slept well with good bedding and strong air-conditioning. (3) The staff were warm and welcoming. As some of them were Caucasians/Eurasians, they could speak good English and helped to direct us to the nearby towns.
