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 reviewThis is truly the best place to stay!!! The most amazing hosts, fabulous big breakfast and nothing is ever too much trouble - they are so kind! They picked us up from the bus stop, took us to hire our ski gear, sorted our ski passes and dropped us at the slopes and picked us up! Their hospitality is the best in Japan! The accommodation is sooo cosy and warm! The beds are really comfortable and we loved everything about our stay! You can not find better hosts! It is our second time staying here and we will definitely be back again! Highly recommend staying here!

Verified reviewOur stay here was fantastic! The hosts are a very friendly couple. They speak Chinese and English so it was very easy to communicate. When we arrived, the host Ms. Qu gave us some recommendations in the Zao onsen village to go check out. Mr. Mao recommended and helped us get ski/snowboard rentals since we don't speak Japanese. The hosts are very friendly and introduced us to some of the other guests, and we all made some new friends. The lodging was very comfortable. The room was heated with under-floor heating and it was very toasty. (It was slightly too warm so we cracked the window...but overall very comfortable.) Even the shower seemed to have heated floors. We had breakfast in the dining area/lobby each morning. The breakfast was very tasty - the first day was two kinds of cheese toast (one was ham and cheese, the other was tomato and cheese), and the second day was scrambled egg with crab, sausages, and croissants. Dinner was also available to be ordered (Ms. Qu's cooking), and it was delicious. We had pad ga prao and stir fried eggplant. I was so happy that we could get dinner at the inn, because it has been so complicated getting dinner in other areas. Overall everything was great! Compared to some other adventures on the rest of my Japan trip, things were very smooth here.
The floor gets quite warm so if you have anything heat-sensitive it probably should not go directly on the floor. I had my laptop in my backpack on the floor and it seemed to get hot, so I put it on the chair instead. It is a little bit awkward to share the bathrooms/sinks with other guests since the sinks are in the hallway.

Verified reviewThe hosts were friendly and helpful. Our room had 4 single beds, very comfortable for a family of 4 and enough space on the floor to put our bags as well. Shared bathroom just outside the room. The area is very pretty; it is surrounded by houses with beautiful gardens that are actually open to the public to view during spring and summer. The hosts allowed us to use their kitchen to heat up our porridge for breakfast.

Verified reviewThe hosts were more than friendly. The beds are comfortable and the room is clean. The floor heating in the rooms provides warmth without decreasing humidity. The most comfortable stay I had during my ski trip. The hosts will drop off and pick up guests at the lifts so you can enjoy the Zao mountain. Not much around the location so be sure to eat before returning to the hostel.
Hi, Maggie, thank you and your coach friends for coming. It was such a pleasure chatting with you. Two very friendly and polite girls, We were very impressed🥰. Looking forward to seeing you again🤗.

No soap in the washing areas, the drying room wasn't warm when we got back and therefore our wet stuff didn't dry

Thanks for the snow ducks made in front of our pension. They were really cute! :) It was great to see the two little brothers clearing snow and having a snowball fight here. I think it was a very special experience for them. Wish you a new surprise on your next journey : )

Every experience is precious. Thanks to the unexpected story, we became familiar from strangers. Thanks, boys! For coming to our pension this winter from far away. I think the winter in northeast must have left you with many unforgettable memories. When summer comes, please come back with your friends, the Okama Crater in summer, just like the snow monsters in winter, will definitely surprise you :)

Verified reviewThe hosts are absolutely incredible!!! Nothing was too much trouble and they treated us like royalty - dropping us to hire skis, dropping us off to the ski lifts and picking us up at the end of skiing and they even took us to the Onsen and paid for our onsen tickets! They were so kind to our children and even gave them a gift and hand warmers for when we went skiing!!! They are the best hosts ever. We had a lovely, warm, cosy room and the shower was wonderful too! They went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable stay! Everything was perfect!!! We will definitely come back and stay here! It was just so fantastic!!! We highly recommend staying here!!!
