Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SingaporeThe hotel is more for the local as the staff in the hotel can hardly communicate in English having hard time to ask for instructions and recommendation of restaurants in Otaru.
The hotel is located at the hilltop which give a view of the Cliff and sea. The Breakfast is very good and portion is generous.

SingaporeLack of dining options. Tried to make reservation for breakfast and dinner during my two night stay but was always told the restaurant was fully booked. Maybe because of the Showa Day long weekend so we tried room service but this was available only between 8 to 9pm, not exactly an option. Hotel should have put in more effort to accommodate hotel guests, especially given its location away from the town centre. Ended up driving down to restaurant at the foot of the hill where hotel was sited although I was very reluctant to leave the hotel after driving for an entire day.. the owner of the restaurant asked if I was a guest of the hotel so I would imagine it was a problem faced by many other guests. In room temperature control was really bad.. It was so stuffy and hot on the second night that I could hardly sleep. Heater in the room wasn't even on and I had to open the window. All other hotels during our 2 weeks in Japan provide humidifier.. This is the only one that doesn't do so.
The in room open air bath and beautiful sea view. Bed was firm and comfortable but pillows are bad, providing virtually no support at all. It felt like resting your head on the mattress.

South KoreaIn general old style building and inconvenient approach from the Otaru city. I asked a message about the transportation in the morning but the reply came in the afternoon when I already took a taxi. It would be nice to send a message about the transportation service in advance
Great view especially the sunset from the private bath! Also the room was kindly upgraded when checked in.

SingaporeIt would have been great if there were power outlets or USB charging ports near the beds. We had to charge our devices using the outlets near the ground just outside the bathroom and at the TV console. (That said, we recognise that the hotel was built and first opened in an era when devices that needed charging were non-existent!)
We really enjoyed the in-room onsen — the main reason we chose this hotel. Even though the view from the onsen was partially obstructed (stated upfront), it was still pretty lovely. Room was comfortable and spacious enough for our family of 3.

AustraliaThe hotel is in need of some update. It smell really old. With some refurbishment, this hotel has great potential.

SingaporeThe bedroom should have a window we can open. Centralized Aircon and we cannot adjust much. The part of the bedroom with beds and sofa were warm all the time.
Room is great and has a private onsen facing the sea and mountains..great view. The hotel is up on hilltop and many car parking lots which is very convenient.

SingaporeHotel was old. Architecture felt very outdated. Location was horrid. Its impossible to walk out. You need a cab or shuttle. Food is alright but nothing fantastic. But again, i came only for the private onsen.
Private onsen was very nice. Thats what drew me to this place. View wasnt great though. I was expecting more of an ocean view but it was too foggy. All i saw was the parking lot

United States of AmericaThe decor is certainly outdated, but the views and the experience of arriving at the hotel more than make up for this.
We booked an ocean-front room, but were upgraded upon arrival to a suite on the top floor. That was a welcome surprise, and we took full advantage of the views and private onsen bath. The staff do not speak much English, but they were very attentive and accommodating to my requests. A very good Japanese-style breakfast buffet was served.

GermanyThe interior is very "old school" you could say, which isn't really my style. In general the furniture is pretty old. Also there was an issue with the shower in out room, there was only hot water, which made showering pretty much impossible.
The private Onsen with ocean view was a absolute highlight. The room was really spacious, the beds were comfy and and the bathroom was nice too.
