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.).

AustraliaNo breakfast or food places near, so needed to drive to town. (Or go to supermarket and cook in kitchen) But they are building a facility currently which will make this place great, especially in Winter... dont need to drive.
We stayed in August 2024. Excellent accommodation, and will be better as owner finishes developing his plans. Brand new place, with excellent styling. Fully functional kitchen. Has washing machine. Beautiful Sauna and spa tub outside. Nice bed and couch. Washed clothes and hung in Sauna overnight ... all dry :-) We were lucky not many mosquitoes, but I heard lost in July... as its near water. Nice owner.

United StatesThe only thing I didn't like was the shower didn't have a door and so water got all over but they provided a squeegee to help with that
I would absolutely recommend this place. The private hot tub and sauna were great additions and the bed was the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. The surroundings are so peaceful and beautiful. The cabin was decorated so nicely and had everything you could need. Great place to disconnect and rest.

United KingdomNo staff. Nothing else at property or near so you really need a car. No instructions so needed to use U-tube to work out how to use the sauna!
Beautiful property in beautiful location although a lot of development work going on which to some extent spoils the view

AustriaThere could be some work done towards eco-friendliness. There are no windows in the cabin and besides the entry door (which we left open during the day to get fresh air) there is only am AC and a ventilation system (no windows). Also the hot tub was heated all the time which was in our case not necessary.
We absolutely loved it!!! The staff was amazing, the location gorgeous and the apartments next level beautiful and super modern. We spent our days foraging mushrooms, picking berries and reading on the front porch - felt like paradise 😍 We will definitely come back.. I highly highly recommend staying a few days to soak in the experience.

CyprusThe accommodation is wonderful but the way to get there could be a bit troublesome and expensive (22 euros one way taxi ride from the centre) due to limited buses. Even if only 10 mins ride to the centre, on foot is more than an hour and passes through busy road. Other than that, there was nothing we disliked!! Maybe a welcome basket with some sweets/food items would add to the overall experience.
Amazing place to stay, near to the city centre but still in the woods, surrounded by nature and peace. Very approachable and welcoming hosts, even sent a person to fix our hot tub (without us telling them it was problematic) which was very kind of them. We could also use the boat and kayak which we didnt though due to rainy weather. Loved every aspect of the room, all the details, the splendid view from the window, nice coffee machine to enjoy hot coffee in the morning, really clean room and spacious. Excellent communication through booking and clear check in instructions. Will totally recommend it to anyone visiting Rovaniemi!

RussiaThere was something wrong with sauna, because it didn’t warm up as expected. As the area is pretty much new, there are some reconstructions around, and the view from the house might not be just like wild forest, you might see something related to building facilities (like tubes) from the earth. It would be good to hide it somehow. Generally it depends on the house you live. Other than that all is good.
The location is great, definitely the right choice. Hot tube is must to try. Barbecue facilities are not far from the houses. Everything is new and clean. You can pick up berries right from the forest for your breakfast (depending on the season, of course).

SwitzerlandThe property is very new and are on some small areas still looking to find their feet. A bit more information on how to use the sauna, or what to do in the surroundings would be great. But these are very minor things that I’m sure will be fixed with a bit more experience.
The rooms are beautifully done with high quality materials. Having your own sauna and hot tub is absolutely great. I imagine the place to be absolutely stunning in winter. With the new spa and restaurant that are currently being built there is absolutely no need to leave the place! Communication was super friendly too.

SwitzerlandThe electric entry system kept malfunctioning when we tried to close the door - we had to call the owner to lock the door remotely the first couple of times we went out. But that was a minor inconvenience - the rest of the facilities were exactly as they appeared on the booking site.
The individual chalets are very well-designed and the mirrored exterior walls means they blend into the surrounding forest. The floor-to ceiling main window looks out into the wilderness, very peaceful and relaxing. It's only 10 minutes outside town and it was easy to call taxis using Uber - it costs around EUR25 each way. Most evenings we cooked ourselves and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The private sauna was a big plus, especially as the outside temperature reached minus 35C! It's a short walk down to the lake, which was completely frozen over. It's a beautiful and relaxing place to stay, if you don't mind being away from the shops, bars and restaurants in Rovaniemi.

United KingdomThe only thing that could be included in the lodge is a humidifier. As the weather was very cold and dry, it was a bit difficult to sleep. A humidifier would be a big plus! =)
The Forest Lodge is really a remarkable place! It has made my family and I feel like we were in a fairytale! The facilities are brand new and good quality! We loved the eco fur blankets! They kept us very cosy! Looking forward to returning again! Maybe during summer, next time.
