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 reviewFriendly staff and great MANAGEMENT little pricey but unique location and property! The room was great huge and onsen the highlight!
They should include food for indian travelers and should have diversity in the menu!

Verified reviewThe resort/hotel was amazing! Worth every penny. The food was delicious, the spa relaxing, the room beautiful and the private onsen amazing! I did not want to leave.
Through no fault of the hotel- I believe the room above us had a small child that was running/stomping around. I was not able to nap. Perhaps families with kids could stay on the bottom floor. The staff explained everything about the room EXCEPT how to use the water for the private onsen. We figured it out but it would have been great to be shown.
Thank you so much for your message. We are so sorry not to recognize the noise from above room. If you can inform us, we can ask the guests to solve the problem with gentle manner. Please do not hesitate to share it with us next time. We hope to see you again. Thank you so much.

Verified reviewThe facility is great, new and clean. The in-room onsen is very convenient for our family. The kids love onsen! And the food is exceptional especially the dinner
We stayed there on April 15-17 2025. The view is okay, not beautiful as in Winter.
Thank you so much for your stay the other day. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our meal and hospitality. Our hotel is located in a forest and close to Toyohira Liver, so the scenery is different depends on the season. You can see green in Summer and colored leaves in Autum. Please come back here again to enjoy these sceneries. See you soon.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at Chalet Ivy Jozankei. The staffs were very attentive and friendly. They all spoke English and were nice enough to put two single beds together to make a king bed. Our meals were also nicely prepared and healthy , with a wide variety of ingredients. The scenery was beautiful and it was fine for us to do nothing and just stay in the hotel, watching it snow and sipping tea. The snack bar was a treat with local snacks! We will definitely be back. It was a nice retreat after a few days at the slopes and a very unforgettable experience.
Nothing at all
Thank you so much for your stay the other day. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our meal or hospitality. Our hotel is located near Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort just 25 min by car, so you can enjoy go for ski. Please come here again next Winter .See you soon.

Verified reviewBeautiful, picturesque stay in the mountains of Sapporo. The staff were professional and organized, allowing us to stay in their lobby with a scenic view of the snow, river, and mountains while we waited for check in. We were provided with local snacks and drinks and our room was ready 30 minutes early. The dinner was delicious and well-portioned, favorites being the steamed rockfish and pumpkin brûlée. Staff were attentive throughout the meal and offered to refill our rice whenever we were out. The rooms were spacious, clean, and stylish. We booked the suite with a private onsen and it was wonderful to soak and watch the snow fall outside. The staff also helped us reserve our taxi to the airport after check out and the overall process was very smooth.
We would’ve loved access to the balcony in our room but understand if it was closed for safety reasons.
Dear Guests, Thank you so much for your stay the other day. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our meal or hospitality. We hope to see in the near future again. See you soon.

Verified reviewPossibly one of our best hotel stays ever. The hotel has a quiet beauty right out of a postcard, the staff are amazing and the food sublime. They did everything to make our stay perfect. The food is one of the best I ever had at a hotel, but western travellers should make sure to set expectations regarding the food which is very japanese, it was always interesting and perfectly executed but pushed us to our limits in some cases :)

Verified reviewEverything was perfect. The room was huge & the in-room onsen was a treat. The staff were polite & helpful, and the food was excellent.
There wasn't much to see & do in the summer in Jozankei and the little town was quite run down. We needed to drive quite far away to other more interesting spots.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your comment. We are so happy to hear that you were satisfied staying with us. Jozankei is out skirts of city and calm and quiet place. The most important thing which the guest want to come here to relax having hot springs. However, this area is surrounded by some attractive sightseeing place such as OTARU, TOYA or SHIKOTSU. Please come back here again to discover the other attractive places. Thank you so much.
