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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaIt was close to the airport and santa village. Everything was clean and in good conditions, very comfortable and homie. Nice out door view too. Bathroom was big as well as the rooms. Lots of space to store your stuff. And if you get to Rovaniemi before check in time, you can put your luggage in the storage room outside.

SingaporeCan't think of anything we didn't like. If we had to pick one, we'd say the lock is hard to open. A slight learning curve to it. The area is very quiet and private..we love it.
Upon arriving, we realised Arctic Circle holiday homes had bigger units opposite us. Perhaps only available via Arctic Circle website and not booking.com? Ours was a 2 bedroom for our family of 4. Everything was spick and span and according to pictures shown on booking.com. Upon entry, there is a space to demarcate the entrance and walkway such that you can remove your snowy boots and dry them a bit before entering and messing the place. So important in winter! Level of cleanliness in Finland is great..we love the attention to little details like for example: the squeegee to dry up the bathroom floor, the amenities and toilettries provided. The nooks and crannies to store detergent and laundry cabinet next to the washing machine. Everything made our 4 day stay so pleasant and housechores became enjoyable! The kitchen was well stocked with lots of cutlery for different purposes. We cooked nightly there and so this is important! Outside the house, is a snow slope where my kids sled daily. A winter wonderland indeed. We were sad to leave this property!(by magical chance..we saw aurora borealis on our last night just outside the property.) Many thanks Mila!!

ZimbabweMilla was amazing to deal with during the entire booking process, and incredibly accommodating. We had an early check in kindly given to us, which enabled us to go directly from the train station to the house at 7:30am - this really was so hugely helpful and we so appreciated being able to drop our luggage off instead of trying to find storage for the day. We were also able to leave our luggage in the storage room by the accommodation on our final day after checking out, while we went skiing for the day - again, this was a massive help!! Great location, super clean and so comfortable, with absolutely everything available in the house that we needed - we had a wonderful family stay over Christmas and it was perfect for us! Thank you so much Milla!!

United KingdomThe only thing we couldn’t figure out was how to lower the heating temperature as it was quite warm on an evening (which we’re probably just not used to!) but a very minor thing and one I didn’t bother contacting the property owners about.
The property really is marvellous. The owners kindly had it ready and thoroughly cleaned for us to check in at 1pm which we were very grateful for. Communication in advance was very good. As many others have said, it is excellently equipped with everything you will need. Far better than any other holiday homes we have stayed in. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment and the layout was excellent and it has plenty of storage for clothes and suitcases. We used taxis to get around which was very easy, always came within 5 minutes of requesting one. Great to have sledges provided and the nearest shop is just over a 5 minute walk. Highly recommend staying here, particularly if you have children and want the extra space. There are many options for food delivery if you find want to cook and most offer better options for young children than the restaurants we looked at.

Excellent location. Just 10 minutes drive to santa village and 5 minutes from airport. Had a bus stop just a few hundred yards from property that took you into santa village. A small supermarket was only a 10 minutes walk away. Our 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious and cosy with everything you could possibly need. The kids loved the sledges that were there to use. Milla was easy to contact and answered any questions. Would definitely recommend

SloveniaLocation was excellent. Good value for money, it was really clean, nicely arranged in a typical Scandinavian style and had many things that are valuable to the family: a washing machine, microwave etc. they had basic things like sugar, salt and oil available, dishwasher pills (though we did not know how to use it, we tried many times, but failed to turn it on - perhaps instructions would be good to have). It is even nicer than on the photos, though we first thought we booked the newer accommodation which I think is from the same provider (above these apartments) and it is really stylish, but also “older” Artic homes do not disappoint.

It was spotless and the host was very kind and allowed us to check in early. Our fight arrived early in the day and our children were exhausted so we really appreciated that

TaiwanThe apartment is located in a small forest, with beautiful surrounding scenery. I highly recommend taking a walk in the nearby forest. There is a path near the apartment that leads to a supermarket, making shopping very convenient. The apartment is well-equipped, clean, and tidy. All the necessary living facilities are thoughtfully considered, giving a homely feeling. I highly recommend Arctic Circle Holiday Homes and hope to have the opportunity to stay again.
