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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SingaporeEverything about Canopy Lodge was amazing. Emily and Mike, the owners, were so friendly and accommodating.....alongside the amazing team of staff...absolute shout out to every single one of them! It's such a wonderful place so close to the slopes. Stand out was Mikes exceptional culinary skills. Freshly baked bread and beautifully put together meals every night. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Helped by freshly dumped snow....skiing in the area is incredible! Truly the best! We can't wait to go back!

JapanHard to say, can’t think of any. Wish I stayed longer.
The cooked breakfast/dinner was phenomenal. If I wasn’t feeling like having a big breakfast, there was a free continental breakfast, complete with coffee, juices, bread and cereal. Amazing and friendly staff that absolutely shreds powder.

Everyone at Canopy Lodge was super friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was great. If you haven't heard about Mike's cooking already, you're in for an amazing experience. Each meal was incredibly adventurous, tasty and healthy. He also caters to dietary needs.

AustraliaCortina (the resort itself, not the lodge) is a little isolated from nearby restaurants or shops, however shuttle arrangements can be made through the lodge to get around! The lodge itself is beautifully located right next to the Cortina slopes though, which was amazing!
The owners, Emily & Mike, are the best! Nothing was a problem, and they stayed in contact with us the whole time during our stay to ensure we had our plans sorted and travel arrangements organised. The other staff were fantastic and friendly, food was great, and could not fault our stay in the lodge at all. A great family-operated feel to everything 😊

AustraliaCanopy lodge far exceeded our expectations. From the minute we walked in Mike and Emily made the place so welcoming and like a home away from home. From helping us with booking restaurants to driving us where we wanted to go, they consistently went above and beyond for us. Mike’s cooking is also worth the stay if you love your finer foods- I was in awe of how good the set menus were each night. The rooms are spacious, warm, and comfortable, with the most breathtaking mountain views. The staff were all incredible and the amenities in public spaces were all really lovely. Honestly we could not fault this accomodation and the people behind all of it, such an unforgettable stay!

AustraliaI didn't have my own bathroom but that's something I signed up to. Next time I will book a room with a private bathroom. There is also limited food nearby if you're wanting to get snacks but the staff were very happy to make a detour one afternoon after skiing.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities within and nearby to the accommodation were amazing. The shuttle service was incredibly helpful for getting to and from your chosen resort for the day. If you're wanting to check out multiple resorts in a day then you can utilise the Hakuba Valley free shuttle as well. Mike and his cooking team also produced a fantastic dinner every night. It was something I always looked forward to.

United StatesWe chose to stay at Canopy on a recommendation of a friend who had stayed there just before covid. I had read zero reviews before reserving a room, just verified that it was close to Cortina, which it is, maybe 5 minutes before you can ski down to the lift lines for either Cortina or Norikura (coming back it's about 3 minutes, since you can ski down part of the way before you get to the road). The room was very comfortable. Food at the restaurant was great, though very western-focused; we took a shuttle to Tsugaike two of the four nights to get Japanese food instead. The free continental breakfast was adequate to get us through 4+ hours of skiing before lunch. Mike's sourdough bread only comes with the hot breakfast which by itself is almost reason enough to get it for only 1500y/person, but we skipped it a couple of mornings because we'd grown a little tired of scrambled eggs on the trip. And having our server issue our lift tickets during breakfast after our original 5-day pass had expired was a great convenience. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, welcoming and helpful during our stay and it was a very warm, inclusive environment to come back to each day.

AustraliaAs we were travelling from Australia, it would have been good to know that they would provide a shuttle from Happo to Cortina upon arrival. I didn't get the email from them advising of this until we were in Japan and we had trouble accessing emails at the time. So maybe an intro email a week before?
Great little boutique lodge. Lovely room, breakfast and dinners. The food was outstanding. The hosts were very helpful and helped with everything we needed.
