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...).

GermanyThis hotel was our absolute highlight on our trip through Finnland. From the very first step until saying goodbye the experience was great! The personnel - everybody - friendly and supportive. The breakfast was great so we decided to stay for dinner - that was outstanding! The room very luxurious, with lots of space and comfortable beds. The hotel is located in the center of Rovaniemi, bus directly in front of the door. When we will come back to Rovaniemi we will for sure stay in the Arctic Light Hotel! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

BrazilThe shower box is really tight, although the shower itself is fantastic! You felt like you were under a waterfall! The size of the shower was the only thing I didn't like.
The hotel is beautiful, stylish (it's a boutique hotel) and the breakfast! I can say it was the best of the whole trip, it's just fantastic! Not only visually wonderful, it's full of options and has just about everything! We loved it! The bed is super comfy, the room has a good size and is very well furnished and lit. The hotel has a restaurant and the food is excellent! And the window opens, even just a little , which is an important point for us, because we need a cool room to sleep and It's not often that the room temperature is cool enough for us to sleep in. The hotel has a very good location in Rovaniemi if you don’t want to drive, and has parking lot as well.

The hotel locates in the center of Rovaniemi and near the river. Its location is very good. There are many restaurants around the hotel, including its own restaurant which is very good. I reserved table before arrival. Kids like the moose meat very much. The hotel is well-decorated. The lobby is cozy. We booked a family room which has one Queen-sized bed and two single beds. The room is big enough for meet the need of a family. Breakfast is good. Staff of reception desk are very helpful. He told us that we could take sleds for kids and there is a playground not far away. The hotel, the room, the restaurant, the service and the beds are quite good, although the price is also a little expensive.

United KingdomIn the evening they didn’t have any wine glasses so had to reuse the glass we had. Also at breakfast the tables were not made up so had to sit at a table with someone else’s dirty plates until we asked for them to be cleared.
The hotel is beautiful and the location is superb. Very stylish but cosy.

We're family of 4. We stayed in the polar street double room. The room is very well equipped, very clean and well decorated. Cosy room to relax. Since it's on street level, it's nice to just step out of the room and enjoy the snow right outside the room. Breakfast was good, service was excellent. We also enjoyed the sauna as a family. It's a private space which we could book for an hour for our family use only. Location is excellent. Walking distance to train station, to restaurants, to meeting place for tour activities. Overall, am enjoyable stay.
