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 reviewWe booked a triple sharing room and the owner upgraded us to 2 rooms and it was a pleasant surprise. Communication was challenging but we were able to get by with Google translate. The rate came with breakfast and it was home cooked and a great start to our day. The place has a great view of Mt Iwate from the second floor balcony, and it's a great place to relax and chill.
Room is basic and hairdryer at the bath can be stronger. However, this is a Pension so still within expectation.

Verified reviewOld world charm in a traditional Japanese pension.
The Pensione is rather run down and antiquated. Host are very accomodating but seem to struggle even when there was only two groups staying. The rooms are traditional tatami rooms but need a refresh. I house onsen was pretty stinky so we didn’t use.

Verified reviewThe host and hostess were very friendly, and made me feel welcome despite me not speaking Japanese. The food was cooked with obvious care, and the room was spotless. The Onsen was great for relaxing. The location was close to Mount Iwate skiing and hiking areas.
I can't think of anything, really.

Verified reviewLocation superb near Shimokura Ski Resort and Appi Kogen. Was quiet, comfortable, hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. There was a drying room for our snow clothes that were wet. The accommodation was clean and warm.
Breakfast was on the cold side each morning, which we tried to attend earlier to alleviate this but didn't. We could have enjoyed the coffee and toast whilst waiting for the main course of breakfast, which was generally bacon and eggs in some fashion, this would have then been warm, but I do commend the hosts of preparing so many breakfasts to be ready at a single time, it was never late.

Verified reviewIt’s very eclectic and interesting on the inside, with many things to look at. The small onsen that you can book a time slot into is very mineral rich and perfect for after a day on the snow slopes. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
The property location is really far from any convenience store but there are a couple restaurants around but with a small child going out after checking in wasn’t really an option

Verified reviewBreakfast was excellent and very tasty and also very punctual. The location was very convenient to the Aspite Line and stunning scenery and walks. The local area was lovely and our host was able to recommend an excellent local restaurant. Our hosts could not have been kinder or more helpful!!
The water pressure in the shower is really the only issue, ie the shower struggles to work

Verified reviewMy wife & I stayed here for 2 nights on our Indy Pass ski trip. The lodge is immaculately clean and cozy. We loved our tatami rooms with private bathroom / shower. The breakfast each day was delicious and filling. The common area had self serve beverages with some snacks available all day. They have both a men’s and women’s Onsen bath that can be reserved by the 1/2 hour time slot and since we were the only ones staying there we had them to ourselves. It’s a quick 10 minute drive to Simokura ski area. There are several restaurants, Akatsuki brewery and several other onsens within walking distance. The best part was the hospitality and kindness of the host couple. Despite the struggles with language, It was fun chatting with them about skiing and their lives (with the help of Google translate). We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Honestly, nothing really 😁
