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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

SwitzerlandSadly, the cook was on vacation while I was there, so there was no breakfast nor dinner served in ryokan. Staff offered some alternatives to eat in the area. However, since the accommodation is little bit further from town, there are not so many dining options in the area. Also, bus to Shibu-Onsen is not so frequent, and the last one departs between 19h and 20h, so you have to walk to the town, and the walk takes about 25 min.
Nice place. Very peaceful, close to the Monkey park. Onsen was really great, also having nice outdoor Japanese style pool. There are shared bathrooms, but the rooms as well as entire house is very clean. I can recommend this place.

United StatesWhile at other places i considered dinner was included, at this location it was an option that had to be requested. I was really looking forward to having a meal there but I was informed that dinner was not available. Perhaps there were not enough guests to make it worth cooking.
Great location right at the entrance to monkey Park and next to restaurant. Spacious room was neat and clean. Onsen was available but the water was too hot for me so I didn't get to fully enjoy it. The gentleman who checked me in and out was super nice, polite and helpful.

AustraliaExceptional staff. The manager of the hotel must feel like family. The Onsen in the hotel was so relaxing. The traditional kimono and jacket supplied were so authentic and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the traditional Japanese culture. The hotel is at the gate of the Snow Monkey park. Amazing experience. Thankyou again for being so warm and hospitable!

AustraliaI think it would be good to have an explanation on how to use the onsen in the room. It’s a small thing as the rest was exceptional. You can book meals but I did not exercise this option which I am sure I will regret.
The staff were wonderful and friendly. I had never stayed at a traditional Japanese Inn or Ryukan. They helped me understand expectations and feel comfortable. Location is very close to Snow Monkeys. The doona is exceptionally light and warm - like wearing hug!

GermanyWe had an amazing stay here. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and even offered us a last minute cancellation when the snowmonkey park unexpectedly closed due to a Corona outbreak. We still came and didn't regret it. The onsen was great to relax after travelling, and the food (breakfast and dinner) were amazing. Definitely order including food! In the end the snow monkey park opened on our last day, making it perfect.

United KingdomTraditional stay with friendly and helpful staffs. Snow monkey park is half an hour walk away making it very convenient and there was a Iocal cafe and a restaurant nearby. I was lucky to have the hot springs to myself and needed a relaxing break from the city. I would love to come back.

United StatesThis was a terrible experience. No dinner possible, and despite being told there was a restaurant nearby there was nothing open remotely nearby. They’re not connected to Shibu onsen so you can visit village onsen, and onsite onsen was slimy with mold and unpleasant. A total bust.
The room itself was ok.
