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...).

MalaysiaWe had an incredible family ski trip staying at Maples Niseko. The apartment was spacious, modern, and well-equipped—perfect for a family. The location is unbeatable, with true ski-in/ski-out access and just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and rentals. The absolute highlight was the staff—every single one of them was amazing. They consistently went above and beyond to help us with everything from lift passes to local tips. This includes the flawless online guest service staff that helped link all the ski packages and transport services together. Their warmth and attentiveness made our stay feel really special. That said, there were a couple of small drawbacks. The housekeeping is quite limited—light service every 2 days, and even the major service every 4 days wasn’t quite up to the proper cleaning standard you’d normally get at a hotel. Also, the beds were quite firm and not very comfortable. Despite these minor issues, we still had a fantastic stay and would happily return. Just a few tweaks and it would be truly perfect.

AustraliaWe stayed with a large group requiring two two-bedroom apartments, four people in each apartment. The room facilities exceeded our expectations, and we didn't realise each room had an on-suit, meaning there were no shared bathrooms— amazing! The shared space was big enough and comfortable for four people. We came for the snow, and the ski-in ski-out from the locker room was amazing - come out onto a green/learners runs with easy access to lift and gondolas to venture out. great location central to town.

SingaporeHousekeeping crew left the main door of our apartment wide opened after cleaning! And, this was discovered by us after we returned from an entire day out on the slopes. Thankfully, nothing was missing but things could have gone very wrong for us. We have lodged a complaint with the front desk but have not heard back from the management as yet.
Convenience! Ski-in, ski-out resort with seamless one-stop service (rental and return of ski equipment, airport transfers) all arranged via hotel concierge.

SingaporeThere were occasions where I did see ice at the doorway. Nearly slipped too. Just ensure that the walkways are safer for guests.
Love the apartment and spaciousness! Wonderful staff who helped us a lot since it’s our first time in Niseko. Concierge personnel were exceptional in providing suggestions for dining and ensuring we were safe in getting there and back to hotel. Absolutely wonderful experience we all had. Will definitely return to Niseko again!

SingaporeThe folding door at the washing machine area kind of obstruct the main entry the the house, pretty inconvenient when we had to get the kids ready and everyone's crowding at the doorway. Dining area aircon looks like it's gonna transform into optimus prime anytime, weird model of aircon. Wash basin in toilets did not have warm water so water from tap so water was icy cold. Didn't allow late checkout or extension by just another hour for my baby to nap, can only blame it on it being so popular that the turnaround has to be fast for next occupier (what to do!).
Great location for ski-in-and-out. Lockers were spacious and warm without any mouldy smell. Rooms were extremely spacious, beds were extremely comfortable. Love the heating, it was consistent and constant. Pleasantly surprised that there's a mini dishwasher. Sound proofing was fantastic. Love the color scheme of the whole place. Staffs were friendly, knowledgeable and ultra helpful (especially Oscar who helped us so much), communication were not a problem at all as they were all well versed in English. Lifts were spacious and bright enough. Whole building was modern. Love how well the processes flow from ski equipment renting to transportation.
