How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocated right across from the train station, from which is a short train ride to narai-juku. There is a simple free breakfast service with breads too.
The air conditioner is located right above the bed, its a bit unsightly, but thats all.

Verified reviewThe hotel was perfect for our needs! We stayed here after hiking the Nakasendo Trail. Communication was great since before the check-in process, when i was inquiring about my luggage forwarding. My luggage was already in our room when we arrived. We stayed for only one night, but we slept very well and had a wonderful shower. The water is very hot, and with a strong pressure, amenities are provided in the room and even yukatas. The bed was firm. There was an additional blanket, which was great (but not needed, just personal preference). The heater in the room was very effective, and we stayed warm and cosy. Free small breakfast available (bread, butter, jam, yogurt, coffee and tea). It was just what we needed before heading to our next destination in Japan. Shiojiri is a great quick stop, and the hotels location is very convenient. There are many great izakayas and restaurants nearby, too! I'd definitely recommend it.
everything was perfect

Verified reviewThe location is just across the JR Shiojiri Station. Makes for a good base as it is easy to visit the neighboring towns via train. The staff were helpful and allowed me to leave my bag while my room was being prepared (I arrived early). They also brought it up it up to my room once done. They also try to provide English translations to their rules and regulations. Room was comfortable for its size (I was backpacking so I did not have luggage to spread. Room size would be cramped, otherwise). This hotel is also like a time capsule but kept very clean. It was pretty good for a night's stay. Breakfast was free and consisted of bread, yogurt, butter, select jams, tea, and coffee.
Rooms are ready from 4pm, but this is not a problem. I left my bag and rode the train to explore Lake Suwa.

Verified reviewLove the location, just in front of JR Shiojiri station. Love the breakfast, though simple with 2 bread, yougurt and coffee for self service. Love the staff for their hospitality and help in forwarding our luggage. Can do laundry with dryer.
The clothes were still very damp after dryer of 30 mins. We were not allowed to use the washer and dryer after 10pm.
