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.).

FinlandI have a few suggestions and requests. There should be slightly more clarity regarding facilities and policies during booking. First, the cleaning fee isn't included in the booking price, and this detail wasn’t available during or after booking. We discovered upon arrival that there is a €100 cleaning fee, or guests must perform a professional-level cleaning themselves. We opted to clean ourselves since it was a short stay, but it was somewhat slightly stressful. Second, while blankets and pillows are included, the information provided is a bit unclear and could be more straightforward.
We stayed for 3 nights at Villa Himpula, an absolutely beautiful and luxurious property that is spotlessly clean and ideally located on the lakefront. It has all the listed amenities, along with a variety of toys and games that we and our kids really enjoyed. The owner has considered every possible way to wow guests. Communication with the owner was prompt and reliable. We had a great stay and highly recommend it. We would love to visit again. Thank you so much! :) :)

United KingdomThe mosquitos 🦟 (I know it's nature and can't be helped)
Hosts lives nearby, always very helpful but still very discreet. As far as finnish summer cottages go, I think this is a special find. Very close to wildlife and nature with having a very comfortable, well equipped accommodation to stay in. The owners invited us to take part in their traditional midsummer eve celebrations (bonfire by the lake, singing traditional songs 🎵), this was very nice. The house was located on a oat farm and there was also woodland and Countryside to explore. Pirkko also produces and sells her own honey which is delicious.

United KingdomNothing - it was perfect.
I cannot believe how lucky we were to stay here. Pictures cannot do it justice. Every detail was lovely - from the quality of the finishes (my partner, who lives in Finland, said the saunas were the nicest he’d ever been in), to all the thoughtful touches (generous linens and towels, chopped wood, a beautiful Easter decoration, children’s toys, spring bulbs, spare shoes… the list goes on!), to the many surprises which weren’t mentioned in the description on booking.com (we both loved the Kota in the woods)! Huge thanks to Pirkko and Juha who are beautiful, kind people. This is visible through their excellent communications, their attention to detail, and the great care they take in the property. They clearly take great pride in providing a magical experience. My partner and I are already discussing when we will return to Villa Himpula. Hopefully soon!

FinlandCouldn't not really find anything to complain. Maybe small shots glasses could be added to utilities as those were missing.
Really nice, comfy and clean. Sauna is good and there was lots of small details that made staying more enjoyable. If you are looking place to stay in area, then I recommend to try this out.

FinlandThis place is absolute Gem, and it starts with its host - Pirkko and Juha, both are welcoming and humble. Every question was answered promptly and they helped with everything in details Then the home is a so well kept and has minute details taken note of. It has 2 airy rooms , nice living area, kitchen with all kind of utensils and cutlery provided , Gym and okay area, saunas within home and also by a lake, hot tub, all kind of indoor and outdoor sports gear( including bicycles , kayaks , water sup boards, fishing boat etc etc ). We stayed for 4 days-3nights and we missed to play and do many activities due to our short stay , that says how well equipped the house is. and last is location - just 2 hrs drive from Helsinki , it’s private , peaceful and by a beautiful lake which is very few other summer homes. We really loved the place and have already booked our next stay here. highly recommended
