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...).

ChinaI checked at night and there wasn't any person in the property. There is no staff available at night. You should help yourself.
The location is very good. Almost all tourist attractions are within walking distance. Quiet and comfortable. There are two supermarkets around. The dining room is good with cattle, tea, and coffee.

GermanyThere was a fan somewhere working all the time and its sound was rather noisy. But to be fair, it didn’t affect me too much and I got a good nights sleep.
I could check in early and check out late. The sauna is nice. My room was spacious and the bed very comfy. All in all, I think this was a really okay.

FranceA little bit dirty in the room, especially the wardrobe, also, sometimes people will take off the public equipment to their own room :(
A perfect hostel with full-equipped rooms and public places. It was not a big room but enough for two people. Besides, I really love the sauna room - which was amazingly free of charge. Also for the billiards room, you can play, drink and eat freely there.

GermanyI stayed there twice in September, the second time was upstairs, where the wifi didn't work correctly.
Nice hostel in the heart of Kemi, it wasn't my first stay. Doors (outside and for rooms) have codes, so you don't need a key. Rooms offer enough space, cupboard, own fridge. Bathroom/shower/toilet down the hall. Kitchen in the basement, common room with coffee/tea, billard table etc. on first floor. Free wifi. Friendly staff

United KingdomThis is a hostel so if you want luxury, this may not be for you. The beds were bunks and the bathrooms were shared but this was part of the fun. A little walk away from town but convenient for the station.
We stayed in a large family room with fur bunks. Before we visited, I was not sure whether a hostel and shared bathroom would work out OK for us but I really enjoyed the experience. Being a hostel, it had a lot of shared space (with a snooker table, kitchen facilities, sauna, communal room) and the bathrooms were big and clean. It was quiet and we never felt crowded. There were multiple communal spaces split across the different floors including a large outdoor patio. You can order breakfast (bread, croissant, ham, cheese, egg, porridge, yogurt and juice) ahead of time and it appears magically in your fridge. There are tea and coffee making facilities and a microwave which are always available for you.

New ZealandThe only thing was the shower was a bit wobbly because it wasn't fully attached. Apart from that, the room was comfortable and clean.
For being a hostel private room I was very nicely surprised at how spacious it was and the bathroom as well was very spacious. The bed was comfortable and it was very warm - there was still lots of snow outside and arriving to a nice, warm and tidy room after a 7hr train ride from Helsinki was great. Walking around Kemi was very nice, got a sunny day and there were options for eating out or going to the supermarket and cook at the hostel. It was quiet and would stay there again if I visit Kemi. It was very close to the train station, but if you go in winter it will take longer to walk to the hostel if you have a suitcase with wheels like I had as the pedestrian footpath was covered in snow.

GermanyWe enjoyed our stay in Villa Kemi! The location is perfect to go for a walk at the seaside and explore Kemi's recreation area! The famous Snowcastle (also the 365 days snowcastle experience) is very close and a nice walk through the idyllic park. You can also explore everything in the city by walking from Villa Kemi. The building has charme..it's partly a little bit old fashioned inside (the design and the kitchen downstairs)..but it's cozy and clean. They offer free coffee in the common area and free tea :) The beds were comfortable, we slept well....Villa Kemi ist a place you really can recommend (the location is so nice!) !
