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.).

Staying at Ski-kan has been the best experience for me of all my various stays in Japan because of the landlady, Ms Takako! She was super helpful, went out of her way multiple times to help me get around - made me feel like i was staying with a relative instead of renting a place. Oh, and she kept surprising me with snacks which were so beautiful and delicious that I thought they were bought off some artisanal stores, until she told me that they're made by her! I will certainly book any lodging that is run by her without hesitation. She made my visit to Hakuba very memorable! Thank you, Ms Takako!

TaiwanI was bothered by a mosquito during the night but it might be due to the hot weather at this time of summer.
It’s near the Happo bus terminal and just 12 minutes walk to the Happo gondola. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. They advised great restaurants with reasonable prices. What impressed me most was that their indoor hot springs. They are well maintained with good ventilation and quality spring water. It saved me time and money to try nearby onsen. Also, there is a Lawson convenience store in walking distance.

AustraliaPlease be aware that showers are communal. There is a female and male bathing room with shared showers and Onsen. This is a traditional Japanese experience but may be not for everyone.
Felt like a good authentic Japanese experience. The lady who runs the place is so helpful and accommodating. She even provides freshly made Japanese snacks/treats on your return from the slopes!

AustraliaI'm not super used to sleeping on a Japanese futon so keep that in mind if you're used to a thicker mattress, but the rooms are very comfortable.
Hosts are just utterly incredible and welcoming. They were eager to look out for us and make sure we knew where to go/what to do and even offered lifts for guests. The rooms and lounge are very comfortable and the communal bathroom and onsen are very clean.

AustraliaThe building was lovely - a traditional ryokan. The owner was so kind, preparing snacks at the end of a day on the slopes and making bookings for local restaurants. The location is excellent, being extremely close to the Happo One shuttle bus and walking distance to many restaurants. The onsen was also lovely at the end of the day :)

Takakako is a very caring and attentive host - she keeps Ski-Kan spotlessly clean and is always willing to help with anything you need. I am gluten-free and she worked hard to find the right local restaurants for us - and the ones she booked for us were fabulous! As a bonus, her son Kuni is often available to drop you off to the restaurant. Takakako saved us by asking a carefully worded questions about our travel - helping us to find out that we had made a mistake about the pick-up location - whew!
