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.).

Hong KongI thought it was one of those "simpler" hotels, but it turns out it was so (unusually) well staffed. Service was also much more attentive than I anticipated. While they said they provide a "simple" breakfast, it was again more than I thought. In addition to bread, there was a simple salad bar, with a selection of egg and sausage. You get the point. There are not many hotels in Karuizawa, and they are not cheap either. Given that, the price point of Hotel Rosso is relatively a bargain. Despite that, it greatly exceeded my expectations!

SingaporeNothing at all
We had a wonderful stay! The location was incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the station and right near 2 convenience stores, which made everything so accessible. The room was big and spacious, providing a comfortable space to relax after a long day. Breakfast, though simple, was surprisingly delicious and offered a nice variety each morning. A special highlight was the day soba was served—it was such a treat! One feature we really appreciated was the ability to rent bicycles directly from the hotel. It gave us the freedom to explore during the day and conveniently return the bikes at night. The staff provided impeccable service. Despite language barriers, they made a great effort to understand our needs and always responded with warmth and attentiveness. Overall, a fantastic experience—we’d definitely stay here again!

SingaporeWe appreciate the free breakfast. Perhaps, there can be a little more variety and some day to day variations for those who stay more than 1 night.
For a 3 star hotel, room is of a good size, with sufficient space for luggage and to move around. Toilets are big. It has a good location, within a short walking distance of Karuizawa Station and also the Prince shopping outlets. Hotel reception staff were friendly and readily recommended local yakiniku restaurants to us.

RomaniaNothing that came to mind.
Good location close to the train and bus station. Staff was extremely friendly, They gave good recommendation on how bus tracks and other points of interest nearby. We got a perfectly cleaned room and there were perfect white sheets and a pretty good breakfast. The Welcome Drink and the afternoon game room setup in the cafeteria was a nice surprise which my son enjoyed. Also the fact that we were always welcomed by the staff at the hotel door when we came back from our walks was a great touch.

The hotel location is just an easy flat 6 min walk from the JR shinkansrn station. It's a lovely little hotel with new facilities, and the hot water pressure through the rain shower is excellent. I had the family toom, which was very spacious. The free breakfast was nasic, but very sufficient. And on top of it all, the staff eas ALWAYS courteous and helpful, ftom having our room key ready when we returned before we even asked, and providing color prints of nus schedules and recommendations. I can't recommend Hotel Rosso enough for a stay in Karuizawa.

Beds were extremely comfortable. Room was fantastic in size. There were drinks for most of the day to help yourself to. There were games in the evening for anyone to play. Chess, reversi, Go, etc. Washing machine and dryer was a plus and breakfast had a reasonable spread. Staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Location is walking distance to the train station and walking distance to the outlet mall. Also possible to walk to the old town. Parking was easy. There was a Lawson right next door and a huge Family Mart 3 mins away. 100% recommend.

The miso soup was a bit bitter (but maybe it was supposed to be like that?), salad was nice but i missed the sesame dressing, lots of meat but i'm vegetarian :')

SingaporeThere’s nothing I dislike about the hotel. It is a really nice place to stay while in Karuizawa.
I love how conducive the place, and how friendly and welcoming the staff were. Furthermore, when we were planning to head to Karuizawa Station, we were told that the next shuttle service would be heading to the ski area. As there were no passengers taking the shuttle to the ski area, the driver volunteered to take us to the station, and I deeply appreciate that.
