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...).

United KingdomNo family bathroom, only has a very small toilet with sink. Families will find themselves brushing teeth etc in the kitchen. Two bedrooms downstairs and open plan sleeping upstairs. Stairs are very steep and ceiling low. Had a fantastic time but with a child the property for us was too far out of where everything is that a tourist needs and looks for.
Warm and cosy. Heated floors were nice. Sauna good and clothes dryer very handy. Beds comfy. Property clean, Wi-Fi, open fire, heating and air con. View out the back stunning with all the snow. Nice quiet location.

South AfricaLocation was nice and quiet - while not in the very centre of town it was a very easy walk to restaurants, shops, skiing and trails. Also very short walking distance and easy access to the bus stop to the airport (or from Inari). Apartment had everything you would need. Beds were nice and comfy. Kristiina was a great and helpful host and self check in was very simple.

United KingdomEverything! This place is magical! We absolutely enjoyed our 4 nights stay in Saariselkä. The accommodation was more than perfect! I fell in love with the place and this apartment. Everything about it was so cute, decorated with taste and comfortable. All commodities reachable by a short walk was the cherry on the top. Kristiina has been on the top of our booking (booked a year in advance) and provided great tips and recommendations within the booking process. I can not recommend this accommodation enough : it has been simply perfect!

SwitzerlandCould have been better cleaned, the beds and lamps looked a bit dusty. No soundproofing, you can hear everything that happens in every room.
Amazing Location, a bit outside of the town with a beautiful view so perfect so see the Northenlight but still really close to the shop. Even if it's a small house it has 3 bedrooms so perfect to travel with friends or familly. The house is ver cute and nice. With a sauna

BelarusThe only minus was that the stairs toward the second floor is too steep and risky.
The appatment was very cosy , with a fireplace, the kitchen was equiptet with all necessary. The Cristmas decoration added to the good mood during our 3 day stay at Saariselka. The badròom was exelent with sauna.

United KingdomNervous parents would not like the stairs, which are close to being a ladder. This is obviously for space efficiency and the space utilisation in the apartment was excellent and welcome, but with small children I was sweating! We did know from the photographs that the stairs would be steep, just didn't appreciate how steep until we got there. A stair gate is provided which we balanced at the top during the night in case kids decided to get up and come find us in the dark, but even so I was careful to force my kids to go down in reverse and not to play on or near the stairs. Older children and adults should be fine.
This apartment was well presented and had all mod cons. It was comfortable and clean and very well located, and definitely warm enough! The sauna was a useful extra for times when the outside air got a bit much and our bones needed de-icing :). Plenty of hot water, all the required cutlery and crockery and glassware, logs for the fire (note: needs very careful building and vents opened to avoid smoke coming inside the apartment), a warming & drying cupboard for wet boots and gloves and hats, basically everything you would need was right there and cleverly stored in the relatively small space.

New ZealandIt’s a little pokey for a family of 4 teenagers, mum & dad. The kitchen is tight with the dining table. The wash basin is in the toilet (separate from where the shower is) which is a very small room. It has the essentials and works ok. However, 4 of the beds are upstairs (the stairs are a bit treacherous but normal for a Finnish cottage) and as heat rises, it’s really hot without ventilation. We were under strict instruction by the owner to leave the aircon at 19 degrees due to the cost of energy and the general energy crisis (a global issue) however, frankly, it meant we burned more wood…. It was cold in the mornings. Between peak seasons the cottage could do with a thorough clean.
We stayed in 6 B 11. We enjoyed the open fire with wood supply, the sauna and the family friendly facilities; kitchen, washing machine. You need these things as there aren’t many options for eating out prior to about 3:00pm. The cottage creates a nice atmosphere for a winter stay over Christmas. Whilst the location is good, it is a fair walk to the centre of Saariselka.

United KingdomCouldn’t fault a thing.
This apartment had everything we needed and more. From the moment we walked in it felt warm and homely and we knew we wouldn’t want to leave. Loved the fire and the convenient location. Excellent communication from Kristiina too. Thank you for making it magical x
