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.).

AustraliaThe really annoying toddler traveling with us waking up in the middle of the night 😂
This was our first time visiting Nozawa Onsen. The accommodation was an easy 5 min walk to all the restaurants and maybe 10 mins (uphill) to the snow. So it wasn't the closest to the snow but was easily accessible. We were travelling with a toddler coming from Europe who was extremely jetlagged and often up and ready to play in the middle of the night. The staff were so patient and kind with us. For a young team we found them super professional and helpful. There were many onsen close by and we found the rooms nice, cosy and spacious for a family with big luggage. We met lots of lovely families in the common space and you had lots of options for the included breakfast. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

AustraliaDidn't mind, but heads up the showers are shared. One has a curtain that closes it off, but the other 2 are exposed to others, in a traditional Japanese way.
Staff were really friendly and helpful, we loved the intimate vibe of the whole place. Great to see everyone in the morning at breakfast, and nice common areas.

AustraliaVia Booking.com, this was a pay up-front, non-refundable booking.
Our stay at Nozawa Dream exceeded our expectations with respect to the staff, facilities and location. This was our first stay in Nozawa Onsen and we had an easy walk from the Shinden bus stop, up the hill to Nozawa Dream. The information pack received from Nozawa Dream before our stay was so clear with its directions and information, this helped with our arrival. When I first booked the accommodation, I did not have a clear picture of the bathroom facilities and was a little anxious about how we would be washing throughout our stay . . . In reality there are three toilet cubicles for females and two for males, both with wash basins outside the bathrooms, located upstairs where the bedrooms are. Then downstairs, there are separate showering rooms for females and males. The female shower room has three showers in it (one with a privacy curtain) and an onsen. On each night that I used the showering room, I had it all to myself. My husband and son had the same experience with the male shower room. The breakfast is on offer from 7:30-9:00am with a good range of options. This is a shared space with other guests and you sit on the tatami mats. The staff were always so busy with replenishing the eggs, bread, juice, coffee etc. Nozawa Dream was an easy walk from the village centre, as well as from the Nagasaki Gondola area, and also to the Kongo Night Market for dinner, we found the location very convenient. We enjoyed chatting to the staff and other guests in the shared lounge area, where we could treat ourselves to a hot chocolate at the end of the day. Thanks Nozawa Dream, we had a great stay! On a different note, if you are looking for ski lessons, Javier from Kaizen Ski School was amazing and I found his details via the Nozawa Dream information pack.
