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.).

VietnamThe hot tub was too hot to soak in après-ski for 3 nights I was there and too cold on other night. Too bad.
Great staffs all of them especially the Japanese manager, Tom, Ned: thank you. Very clean n comfortable to stay many nights. Hot yummy BF was served daily. Location is next to bus station, gondola (5’ walk) and 3’ walk to chairlift on back road. Saved my energy carrying heavy ski equipment.

United StatesNot much to complain about. The onsen bath is a bit small with space for about 3 people max. The walls were a little thin so I was occasionally disturbed by other guests slamming doors or having loud conversations in the hallway
Spacious and comfortable room with a mix of Japanese and western styles. Attentive and friendly English-speaking staff. Good breakfast every day. Comfortable shared lounge area. Can arrange pickup and drop off from nearby train stations or bus terminal, and daily grocery runs are also available. Good onsen room, cheap laundry, and ski storage on site. Great location only a few minutes walk from the Tsugaike base area and shuttle bus connection to other resorts

SingaporeI didn’t like the breakfast that much because we had eggs everyday🙁😰.
The place was super spacious and clean. There is a lounge where they served breakfast. The best part was that all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The onsen was really good because it was just the right temperature🤩. In terms of logistics, it was excellent. The ski slope wasn’t really far away and there was a ski rental just across the road.

AustraliaIt is in a good spot in the middle of town . It is about 150-200m to the Gondola. So a good spot but not ski in ski out. That is not a criticism , just letting you know. Actually ski in ski out is not so common in Japan
T Square is spacious which is unusual for ski lodges. The living room , boot room were first class, as was the generous breakfast and noticeably enthusiastic staff. We were picked up by Chester who laughed his way through transporting our absurd amount of luggage. By the time we arrived at T Square Chester had already briefed us on the best powder in the trees and Ramen noodles near T Square. We had Christmas at T Square with staff and guests all put something in having a great time. Thank you to Ned , Hiyo, Olivia, Charlie , Tom and Ella and the Japanese couple who managed the T Square. And last but not least the the Japanese couple have the cutest baby which my wife and daughter couldn’t stop cuddling and playing with!! A real 10 out of 10.

SingaporeWe took the family room for 5 which was essentially 2 rooms connected by a common corridor. The 2nd room had no door which made it quite cold at night despite the heater being turned to full. The room came with a private toilet which had no heating on the seat so it was really uncomfortable using it in winter. We ended up using the shared one just outside the room which had heating.
The location was close to Tsugaike Gondola Base as well as the chair lifts for a beginner slope. Complimentary beverages were available 24 hours in the common lounge. They had Netflix in the rooms! The availablity of 2 dryers (100yen per 30 min) were a plus point

AustraliaThe bathrooms really let this place down, only one female western toilet on our floor, and something wrong with the plumbing so the bathroom smells like sewerage and this extended to the rest of the building, a waft when walking through the door. Also, their website advertises a mineral bath, but the shared bathroom is only hot water, not an onsen
