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.).

GermanyCute and nice log house, equipped with everything needed, nice communal living room space, clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen and a pretty small bedroom, with fridge/freezer. Also great was the sauna (two saunas, one for males and one for females), which was on and hot every evening, with outdoor space looking into the snowy forest. The breakfast place was around 20 min walk away and the breakfast itself was great, with a variety of breads, pastries, fruit, porridge, salad, juices, coffees,... definitely enough to fill me up.

FinlandIt was a bit out of the city which made it a bit harder to get to the K-market and the breakfast place. But it wasn't that big of a deal.
I liked the kitchen and the TV there. It was a good place to chill and have good times with friends. Also the breakfast was exceptional.

FinlandIt was really bad with noise insulation. So if you are unlucky with neighbours at least take earplugs with you. It wasn't an issue for me though.
Really good breakfast although it's a bit to walk for example with children. Nice welcome by an old man doing snow clearance. He showed the place and sauna, was not in a hurry.

ItalyThe heater wasn't on when we first entered the room, and turned out that one of the heaters was damaged. After a couple of calls to the reception, they brought a portable heater and it was fine. Thanks!
The location resembles the pictures. The room is a bit tight but its comfortable when coming back from an intense outdoor activity to sleep and recover for the next adventure. The sauna is great, and the shared kitchen is convenient. Although the breakfast is served in a different location, it was really good and abundant.

Finland- The only minor negative thing was that the free breakfast was served in the shopping centre cafeteria that was 1 km away, so you need to walk that way every morning. This was not an issue for us though:) We dont mind walking. - The room was nice for two adults, but might Be a bit small for a bigger group with all their Winter Gear.
- Very Nice atmosphere and authentic cozyness - Excellent Value For Money and The breakfast was very good quality! - The location is right next to the ski and hiking trails. 15min walking from the resort center. - Shared bathrooms, toilets, kitchen and the lounge area were in good condition. We loved to cook! - Free daily sauna was very nice after the skiing - We felt like staying in a private log cabin;))

GermanyThe reception was a bit far away, about 15 min walk. Which is not a problem, but with all the luggage it was not very practical to walk from the bus station to the reception and then to the accommodation. Maybe a box near the accommodation would be a good idea so that the guests could pick up the key with the use of a code. It was also a bit cold in our room. Which was not a problem as we were in Lapland and the temperatures are low. However, I felt that the rest of the accommodation was much warmer, so maybe the windows in the room should be checked, as cold air was coming through. And the rooms were quite small.
The breakfast was very good. And also the location of the log house. Almost in the forest and near the hiking trails. From the center is maybe 10 min by foot, which is great because we did not have a car. We had to walk about 15 minutes to the place where breakfast was served, but that was not a problem for us. The sauna was also great. Kitchen had everything we needed.

Czech RepublicWe received only one pair of keys for 4 people. When we asked for a second pair they told us they don't have it as the previous guests accidentally took it with them. We didn't want to hassle about making a new set of keys during our stay. This was a little disappointing but we managed just fine with those we had. Also, one side of the room had broken lamps, but our headlamps worked well enough for our evening readings. One additional comment, the fridge could be located on the other side of the room/the door hinges could be placed on the other side. For easier access inside. Only one shower for the whole building isn't enough. We had to use the sauna showers which are located outside the main house. Also, it was half clogged so the water flow from the shower basin was very slow. More frequent emptying of bins (bathrooms, showers, kitchen) would make the space more pleasant.
Well equipped kitchen with functional common space, comfortable beds, fridge in the rooms, awesome sauna, the location couldn't be better (50m from groomed cross country skiing tracks). Drying room and washing machine available, that was great especially after the whole day of skiing in the wet snow. Option to go for a decent breakfast at the shopping centre, 10mins walk (the variety of foods varies each day, some days better than others)
