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...).

AustraliaPillows weren’t great. The info said bins would be emptied every day, but this wasn’t done until day 3 when you get new towels. The exhaust fan can be quite loud for sensitive sleepers, but it says not to turn it off. I’m a light sleeper, but luckily , it worked as white noise for me so I didn’t have issues sleeping. We had a room that overlooked the street, which was nice, but on Saturday evening at 2am, I could hear lots of noise from the bar Freddie’s a couple doors down when it closed.
Location is fantastic, the Hirafu shuttle stops out the front and the Niseko United shuttle stops 1 minute walk away. Central to lots of restaurants and convenience stores. The shower was amazing - hot and high pressure. Breakfast wasn’t fancy but had everything you need - croissants, bread, cereal, potato gems, bacon, noodles or rice, scrambled eggs, over-steamed veg, banana, mandarin, filtered coffee and juice. The best part is the chef will cook you fresh eggs of your choice (poached, sunny side up or over easy). Size of the room was fine and there was hanging space and shelving.

AustraliaThe beds where super hard, there was no PowerPoint in the bathroom which seemed odd. The locker room to dry your ski gear in made our ski gear stink.
Nice big rooms with a larger fridge, super helpful staff, lotsa food options nearby, a large area to put ski gear.

AustraliaThe only thing i'd say the downside is the beds and pillows are uncomfortable. The room is very small which i guess is expected in Japan and the breakfast options are limited.
The location of this property is superb as it is in the heart of Niseko and walking distance to all the shops & restaurants. The staff is amazing and overall is excellent.

SingaporeThe rooms were cleaned only every 3 days. This was a bit tricky when dealing with wet ski gear/shies. There is not a great place to hang out in the evenings/when not skiing.
The location was excellent. Near the ski hill, restaurants, and rental shops. The breakfast was simple, but filling and a good start to a day skiing.

AustraliaThe street the property is on is a party street so there is a bit of noise at night from drunk people. Didn’t bother me much but maybe take that into account if you’re a light sleeper or ask for a room on the other side of the building.
