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.).

United KingdomA small issue was a slight smell from the toilet. Maybe just needed a room freshener

United KingdomPerhaps transport to the hotel from the airport or train station could be provided or offered as an added fee. Or maybe communication about the best way to get there. Its quite far out and there is no public transport available.
The location is dreamy! The hot tub and fire pit were an amazing addition. The room temperature was super and we loved the blue tooth speaker system! They provided woollen socks and robes for the hot tub which was much appreciated too. Staff were friendly and communicated well.

GermanyThe toilet is alright for a short stay but can imagine that it get smelly quite quickly after the 2. Day as there are no "bio chemicals" used.
It was so quite and beautiful there. It was definitely a nice experience sleeping in one of those iglos.

RomaniaThe standard checkin is at 16 and checkout at 11. For almost 600 euros per night and taking in consideration the time needed to clean a cabin this size, I think the host should make a bigger effort for a standard checkin at 2 p.m.. Also, we had some problems with the hot tub temperature. Somehow, it was set to 44 degrees instead of 38 and we lost 2-3 hours before we could use it. Except this, everything was excellent and I recommend this location for a memorable experience!
The cabin has an idylic location in the splendid nordic wilderness enviroment, just 10-15 mins from Rovaniemi city center by car. Although very small, it offers a good level of comfort. The fire pit and the finnish hot tub outside offer an amazing and unique experience.

PortugalHonestly, everything was great. I just really missed taking a shower. If this igloo had a complete bathroom, it would be perfect. But we can't always have everything.
The owner is kind person and helpful person that recommend some things to do and a Taxi Driver. About Igloo, we liked so much. Clean, High-Tech and great location. I highly recommend it. It was a very special moment for us during this time at Igloo. We spent 2 nights there and to be honest, I would like to spend more time. However, there is no shower. We loved that time there. We want to be back during the Summer or Spring.

Romania- The igloo indeed doesn't have a shower, so longer stays are not suitable. We were there for 2 nights, and that was ok, as we could have a shower before arriving there and after leaving, but I wouldn't recommend longer stays. - On the tap there is only cold water, so for drinking I would recommend to have some water prepared in a bottle or something similar, as the tap water can be really cold, but for washing hands and teeth is ok. Also, there is a kettle, you can also use that to warm up some water.
- The hosts were amazing, really friendly and helpful. They offered to help us with everything we needed. For example we had an awful plane trip where our luggages were lost and they helped us with the luggage delivery to the igloo directly. Also, we had a little problem with the toilets and as an apology, they offered us a really fancy golden drink. - The check-in was super easy, we just needed a code to enter. Inside everything was prepared, the igloo heated. I personally was super afraid if it will be warm enough, as outside were -20°C and usually I am cold, but the temperature inside was really pleasant. The view is also absolutely amazing, waking up in that peaceful area, it is like a piece of heaven on earth. - Bonus: they also installed a hot tub, so that made our stay extra special. Even outside being cold, inside the water is warm enough to stay. They also explained us how we should use the woollen socks given by them to walk on the snow in order to avoid falling. - The place inside was really cute and compact and it had everything needed. They even had some tea, biscuits and soft drinks supply in the igloo, really welcoming. Inside the igloo there is also a super-mini fridge and a "cellar".

BelgiumThere were forks and knives, but no spoons. The accomodation offered a mini fridge with yoghurt, so a spoon would be handy :) Also the fishing hole light didn't work (or we didn't found how it worked)
I really liked the location very much. Igloo was at a good temperature, nice view and location. Far enougg away from the other igloo. There was a nice hottub, campfire possibility and enough dry wood and fire starters. Nice little things that the owners thought of: delicious home baked cookies, tea, juice, water. Also a sign if you'd like to place a food delivery order. Very nice!
