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.).

United KingdomNothing- everything exceeded our expectations!
Everything was absolutely amazing! Great location- within walking distance of Happo and Echoland. We were greeted at the station and felt very welcome at the lodge by all the lovely staff. Room was really comfortable and we really enjoyed the onsen after skiing! Food was amazing throughout - thank you for the lovely breakfasts everyday. Wonderful family feel to the place with personal touches. Nice areas to chill out by the fire. Boot room was so good. Transfers to the resorts every morning and advice on conditions in each resort was extremely useful. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and come again if we are in Japan!

AustraliaPossibly the only thing I didn't like was the lack of storage space for clothes. We were there for 6 nights and after living out of our suitcases our room was very messy. An extra shelf or two, or a set of drawers or some cube storage would have been great and not taken up much space.
What can I say about Snowlines that doesn't sound like I'm just gushing about our wonderful stay here? Maybe it was the time of year (Early March), there weren't too many people about so that was great for us personally, however in general the owners Stephen and Sarasa go above and beyond for their guests. We were made to feel very welcome, picked up from the bus station, given a walking tour of the facilities, shuttle to ski fields provided in the mornings, breakfast buffet was always tasty, they had nightly meal options to opt into and if not they had plenty to say about local restaurants and could even facilitate a booking for you. The room we stayed in was the Japanese style, so we had separate futon mattresses we pushed together. The room was sufficient for space, and there was a toilet and sink also. The bathroom was separate for showering (the on-site onsen was where we went daily). We didn't use the laundry facilities, but they were available. The lodge boasts large common areas, multiple comfortable seating spaces, and a bar that is open every night until 11 pm (if you can stay up that late). The other staff were all very polite and attentive also. The location was fantastic. We did not have a car, utilising the local buses that run in the area from the ski resorts was simple and Stephen even makes sure you know how to get home from every place he drops you off from of a morning. It is a very shirt walk to Echoland where other accomodations, restaurants and some ski retail shops are. There's a bottle ship at the end of the road, too. They just ask that you don't byo at the lodge.

AustraliaPillows was a bit flat for my liking. Other than that every thing was great.
One of the best stay we ever had. The atmosphere was great. We made number of new friends while we were there. The onsen was superb after a day of skiing. It is relatively close to a lot of the restaurants. And some of the shuttle bus stop right outside the lodge.

Great setup, warm and friendly environment and the staff are really welcoming. The lodge is in a great location, just a short walk to lots of spots to eat or have a drink, which the staff at the lodge also help to book in advance (as the fill up very quickly). The lodge offering the free transfers to the ski fields was also a great addition.

AustraliaThe breakfast was a standard western breakfast, with a few cereal and toast options. Juice, tea and coffee. The host also cooked eggs, and varied the offerings daily. We love Japanese food and it would have been nice to have some Japanese options, however what was provided was a high quality, well presented and the hosts were so lovely and accommodating.
