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 reviewCentral location Free Popsicles
We are a family of 3 and we checked in at 4pm and requested for a family onsen private bath but was told that it was booked weeks ago but we were never told we need to book at the first place! It’s an onsen hotel - it’s expected that there is at least a restaurant inside the hotel but none is open. Breakfast is pathetic - they even ran out of butter. Definitely not recommended

Verified reviewThe location was great, being right on the lake.
The lack of regular meals was a problem, made worse by the fact that restaurants are closed early there.
Thank you very much for staying with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location right by the lake. However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the limited dining options. There are few restaurants nearby, and they tend to close early, which we understand can be frustrating. To address this, we are planning to open a sushi restaurant called “Sushi Ryujin” within the hotel this July. It will be open late into the night so that you can enjoy your meals without worrying about the time. We hope you will have the opportunity to visit us again and make use of this new dining option. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

Verified reviewAwesome view to Lake Towada. The hotel is modern looking and tastefully done.
Can’t complain much! As it is pretty secluded, will take some time to drive into. But I don’t mind! 😄
Thank you very much for staying with us. We are truly delighted to hear your kind words about the beautiful scenery of Lake Towada and the modern, tasteful design of our hotel. We appreciate you taking the time to visit us, even though we are located in a rather remote area. Your comment that “it didn’t bother you at all” means a lot to us and is truly encouraging. We would love to welcome you again, perhaps in a different season to enjoy another side of the lake. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Verified reviewOnly the location by the lake but didnt see the view because of the trees is blocking even I stay on the top floor (3rd floor)
The rest is worst. You have to do everything by yourself. Checkin and also dinning. The prepared frozen food (suki or shabu) in the freeze. Seafood for shabu is not fresh. Beef suki is just ok. And you have to dine in your room which make the smell unpleasant. After that you have to move away dining table and make a bed by yourself. Water temp in your bathroom is not that hot (normal) and onsen (public bathroom) is very small compare to hotel size. Four people in the bath feel fit already. The worst part is breakfast. They only give you bread, cereal and coffee. That is it! I paid almost 60,000 yen/night for one room for two person. It is extremely overpriced! This place should consider just a hostel not hotel.
Thank you for visiting our facility. We are sorry to hear that you could not see the view because of the tree blocking the view of the lake. It is difficult to cut them for nature conservation reasons and we will look for a better way. We are sorry that we could not satisfy you in many ways. Our facility offers a new form of self vacation style. We will do our best every day to make your stay more satisfactory without causing you any confusion or uneasiness.

Bathroom is a bit small and limited food choice here both dinner and breakfast.

For dinner, we have sukiyaki and seafood yose-nabe, which can be prepared in your room before check-in and served without worrying about the time. There is also a plan that includes sukiyaki, seafood yose-nabe, shabu-shabu, and a bowl of rice topped with negitoro made with tuna from Oma, which is brought to your room at the time you specify.

I don't have high expectation of the breakfast so its just okay. It's only pricey. Bread with ham, cheese, egg spread, jams, etc,create your own sandwich. Salads, cereals, milk, fruit juices etc.
