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 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 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.).

ItalyWe had a bit of a trouble with the entrance key and it would have been far to go back to the reception to get help. Luckily it worked after some minutes so it was a very small inconvenience.
The apartment we had was perfect for 2 people. We spent one night but would have been perfect for a longer vacation. The resort is very easy to find and just 15 minutes drive from Saariselka. The sauna in the bathroom is functioning well, it also had a timer so we had it on when we came back from Aurora hunting and we could warm up before bed.

Location is not super convenient compared to the center, but definitely a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Having said that there are bus directly go to the Saariselkä center and Rovaniemi, tho in winter there may not a lot of scheduled buses. There is ski trail and definitely great place to ski. Room is comfortable and nice view from the window. The overall environment is super pretty!

Facilities were excellent, free sauna, super clean and staff very helpful and knowledgeable. -27° outside so continued to watch Northern Lights from my bedroom when I came back in to defrost. Location excellent for x- country skiing - nothing but wonderful fells and nature for miles. Good bus connections to airport and nearest settlements incl Saariselka.

United KingdomThe pillows were not comfortable at all. Small, flat and not feathers! So I did not sleep well, although the bed itself was good.
The quiet and the fact that there were no crowds. The limited numbers at Kiilopaa is a definite plus! Also, the guides were very good.

United StatesThere was a confusion about the smoke sauna. There are two saunas: a regular sauna open to public and a smoke sauna by reservation only. Our group wasn't aware of the reservation system prior to our stay and missed out on the smoke sauna experience altogether.
Ideal location for nature lovers! The hotel is just steps away from entrance to a national park. We visited in the winter and were able to cross-country ski and showshoe right from the property. A rental shop is located on site. No early check-in or late checkout, but we had the option to store our luggage and enjoy the outdoors before and after our stay. The hotel is accessible by public transport—buses to Ivalo airport, Saariselka Ski Resort and Rovaniemi stop in front of the hotel. Buffet is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it's also possible to order a la carte items off the menu. The food is good for such a remote location.

United KingdomShame the fire was out of action in the lounge and the lounge was a bit dark. We had been looking forward to relaxing there with books. More comfy chairs and less tables..
Loved the remote location and the relaxed atmosphere. Helpful staff both in reception and ski hire. Excellent food and great packed breakfast for early, morning flight.

ItalyThe hotel is wonderful, in a neat position; right at the border of the national park, so you can rent the equipment (we rented snowshoes) and start your day with a great outdoor activity. In the evening, do not miss the ice pool (yes you can swim in ice) followed by the amazing sauna. We were also satisfied by our dinner and lunch (we loved reindeer meat and the salmon soup). It is great!
