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.).

GermanyThe walls are a little thin and if the neighbour cottages are booked, you might hear some noise. The interior is nice, but it's not the most modern.
The location is so beautiful. You see Saana when leaving the cottage, the area is so peaceful, there's sauna, a lot of space and it really just feels like a great place to relax and reconnect with nature. Be prepared to see reindeer walking around your car and cottage =)

FinlandOven and cloth drying shelf wasn't working properly. One room under the roof was really hot after using sauna. Was a bit challenging to get sleep.
Good spot. Beautiful location. Cozy house, great sauna. Water on the beach was just great to swim after sauna.

EstoniaLocation was perfect. Holy mountain Saana on the one side, beautiful Kilpisjärvi lake on the other side, several reindeer strolling around. The accommodation had all the necessary things for a pleasant stay. Great location for daily hikes around. Even the Norwegian fjords are a mere half-hour car ride away. Kilpisjärvi is my favourite area in Finland so far - highly recommended for all hiking and nature enthusiasts.

FinlandWould be nice to have a mosquito net on all bedroom windows. Now only one of the bedrooms had it.
We stayed in a cottage next to a river so we got to enjoy watching the reindeer roaming around by the river. A very calming environment. The restaurant was really good. Also a well equipped supermarket and another restaurant nearby.

IndiaThe location was excellent and the stays were fantastic. You've got every piece of equipment and facility you could need. The staff have been the kindest people I've known! while i was there, there was a blizzard and roads were shut off and I was panicking that I'd miss my flight but the staff went out of their way and took time to sit with me, look for options and made sure I made my flight. Much love 🖤

United KingdomAsking if we could have breakfast at 5pm (deadline was 6pm) on the evening we arrived, our host seemed somewhat reluctant, but they did deliver the 'breakfast basket'. It's a shame that the temperature can't be controlled at the cabin because it was hot at night, especially in the mezzanine sleeping area. None of this affected our stay that much, which was lovely.
Great location, lovely cabin, peaceful, beautiful views. Friendly locals. Loved the sauna. We definitely got the feeling we were here very out of season (end October), which we didn't mind, as we were there for the hiking. 'Breakfast basket', was easily enough for a packed lunch too.

United StatesOnly wish we could have turned down some of the nearby lights...but it was not bad. We could raise shades from the bottom of the dome glass to block most of the lights on the ground while keeping our view of the stars and northern lights!
The "iglu" cabin was one of the most amazing spots our family has ever stayed!! The three of these units opened in 2022, and they are designed and outfitted with great amenities. Everything down to the suana, dishes and sound system was high quality. The glass dome over the upstairs bedroom was perfect for keeping an eye on the heavens...Even had heated glass to keep the snow off!

FinlandNow in mid October is low season for them so the reception and restaurant were not open. Small details to make the stay even more comfortable and cozy: -The two nice big candle holders were missing the candles. -There could be a kitchen towel/kitchen paper roll. -The shower soap was almost empty. Refilling it would be more welcoming than seeing straight away many others have used the same. -Did not understand the function of the tablet. I thought there would be some information brochure about the story of the hotel, things to do in Kilpisjärvi and others.
I arrived when it was dark, so in the morning, the nice views to Saana fell were a big surprise! The bed was comfortable and I loved there were many different pillows. I did not cook but kitchen seem to be well equipped! I loved the speaker that you can connect to via Bluetooth and listen your own music. Even if close to the village and road ypu feel away and there is enough darkness to ser the northern lights from your balcony. In general, very cozy, comfortable, modern, warm and clean!
