Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

SpainWhile the wine at Maple was delightful, the wine at the bar was atrocious. I would recommend getting a mixed drink instead. The staff did not seem to know anything about Bar Chat, they couldn't tell us when it was open until, and then when we walked over we were told at the door we needed a reservation, which the front desk should have told us at the start. They asked if we wanted the room reset on the first of our two days and we declined, but apparently that means they will put away the futon (which we did not want) and you have to re-set up the futon yourself. This should have been made clear to us; we would have preferred the room not be reset at all and the futons left out
Room was clean and comfortable, great onsen/rotenburo with a beautiful view, food and wine at Maple was fantastic

FranceThe room was a bit outdated, and unfortunately, the sunlight came in very early around 4 AM—no proper blackout curtains, which made it hard to sleep. For a place meant to help you rest, that was a real downside. We also found the all-you-can-eat dinner buffet (which must be booked in advance) to be extremely overpriced considering the quality. Breakfast was also quite average and not memorable.
The staff was warm and welcoming, even though they didn’t speak much English. Communication was possible thanks to Google Translate, and they made a real effort to help us. The room was very clean, and the hotel’s location is absolutely stunning, with an incredible view of Mount Bandai. A peaceful and scenic setting that invites relaxation.

AustraliaI was disappointed that I booked a room with breakfast and dinner. When I arrived I was advised that there was no room in the restaurant for dinner. The hotel is not in walking distance to any restaurants and I didn't bring any food so I was quite startled at comment that 'i simply would not be able to eat tonight', and there was no refund for this either. This is a lovely hotel but depriving someone of a meal that had been paid for, in the buffet which surely could have accommodated one person, really isn't acceptable.
This is a great hotel with great facilities! I have stayed here before and would stay here again. Large rooms and a lovely onsen.

MalaysiaThe hot water pot / dispenser in the room was not clean. The water was undrinkable as a result. I could see molts of dust floating on the surface. It would be far better to equip the room with an electric kettle so the guest can conveniently boil water by themselves whenever they wish to.
The view from the room, the buffet - plenty of variety, the onsen - especially the rotemburo, the amazing closet and the huge bathroom and bedroom.

SingaporeCentral temperature control. Cannot set preferred room temperature. Buffet dinner and breakfast has good spread but quality slightly below expectation.
Excellent location. Visited on 6-7 Nov. Autumn colours were brillant. Happy to get a room with great colours facing the lake. Onsen was good especially the outdoor pool facing the lake. Room was big and bed comfy.

AustraliaThe rooms need some upgrading but we’re still very comfortable. There was very limited gluten free food selection for celiacs. The buses to/from nekoma ski are were very limited and the Grandeco buses only ran on the weekends.
The location was beautiful, gorgeous outdoor onsen, they managed the buffet meals very well, always plenty of food and never felt too overcrowded.

ChinaThe resort basically has everything you need at a very basic level, the food and drinks are really just OK. but I don't think this is a big issue as the price is very friendly, so it is fine.
1. Best location in the area, the hotel is by the lake, right next to the trail to the famous colorful pond. very close to the entrance of the ski area and hiking road. 2. The room is huge and comfortable, the perfect place for a family trip. 3. The resort basically has everything you need. 4. The staff are very friendly and professional.
