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...).

United StatesOne minor suggestion : the outlets in the room do not have the ground pin, so I couldn't use my laptop charger. I managed to power it from my phone charger, but I'd suggest keeping some extender which has grounded outlets on it, just in case.
I liked everything! But you should fast at least for a week before checking in - breakfast and dinner are just beyond compare ! My primary goal was skiing, and this location is very convenient to cover nearby ski resorts in Gunma and Niigata.

IsraelOur room was on the 3rd floor, no elevator and we didnt know it in advance. Had to carry all the havy suitcases by ourselves, if we new in advanve we would have packed differently for these 2 nights.
The onsen is beautifull, all 3 of them. There is an option to have a private time in the onsen for the entire family with no strangers Beautifull view and experience imercing in the hot water watching the snow falls from the sky. Good comfortable futon beds

AustraliaBeing off-season the town was very quiet so the hotel was also very quiet. It would have been more enjoyable with some more travelers to interact with. The upside was that all the baths became private baths.
The room was massive and comfortable. Great view over the river. The staff were very friendly looked after us.

EstoniaMicasa is a traditional japanese ryokan with onsen. The entrance looks a little suspicious, but inside is beautifully decorated and smells really nice. The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the river. There is no shower in the room, only toilet and wash basin, but there are 3 onsens in the small hotel you can use 24/7 and there you can wash yourself with much comfort. 2 different types of shampoo, conditioner and body wash was provided. After washing you can soak in the hot onsen water with minerals. The ryokan looked very child friendly with baby bath and toys in the onsens and small playing area with toys in the lobby. You sleep on tatami and mattress, no bed. But it was really comfortable. We also had the traditional dinner and breakfast. The food was server beautifully and there was a lot of it. Some were for an acquired taste, but it was a good setting to try natto and other traditional japanese foods. We were really happy with the experience.

We stayed at Micasa for two nights and really enjoyed ourselves. Outstanding breakfast and dinner, wonderful onsens (we particularly liked the one in the open air), it's really magical when it's snowing outside, friendly staff. I've read that other guests complained about not having a private shower in their room - we had one. Wi-Fi was ok. Would definitely recommend!

United StatesOnly small issue would be to have more variation in dinners. For two nights its fine, but would recommend a menu rotation that lasts at least 3 and better 4 nights.
Breakfast and dinner were large and tasty, the onsens spectacular, staff kind and helpful, and rooms very comfortable and clean. Micasa is also very close to Tenjin skiing (a few minutes drive up the road) and located in a cute town with good restaurants (and even pretty good local beer).

AustraliaMICASA is fantastic. Beautiful property, with really comfy rooms with great views over the river and of the local train line. We were lucky enough that it started snowing just after we arrived, and we had a fantastic view of it from our room. The public and private onsens are both really nice and a good temperature. The food was fantastic. We’re not the biggest fans of kaiseki as it can often be too much food, but the quality and quantity of the food was spot on. The staff are lovely and always willing to help as well. For context, we’ve traveled all over Japan over 14 times now, and MICASA really does stand out from the crowd of Ryokans we’ve visited over the years. Can’t rate MICASA highly enough, and would love to visit again sometime.

United StatesLove this property. It’s more on the traditional side but the room was large and the onsens were amazing. The highlight for me was the food. Highly recommend opting in to include the half board. The food was all home made and so good. It felt never ending as they give you around ~13 different types of food. The onsens change for male/female per specific time but I usually had them all to myself which was nice. The hotel is on the smaller side but definitely worth the price. It was beautiful when it snowed! It’s a ~15 min walk from Minakami station and a free shuttle back. You can also reach out to them before to request pickup.
