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.).

Finlandthe bathroom shower curtain was cheap and thoroughly failed to prevent condensation from soaking the entire bathroom floor. I was never able to get the floor towel adequately dried. This is because the bathroom's provided steam heated drying columns weren't active. Only the electric drying rack above them worked and it was ill-suited to drying anything of length. The left-side building's exterior paint job was old, poorly maintained, stained and chipped. It immediately concerned me as I approached the hotel, I worried what kind of quality would greet me inside. While comfortable, the interior's lingering vestiges of former prestige and comfort merely betray that the hotel appears unwilling or unable to perform or invest in maintaining appearances. Overall, this hotel competes poorly in both price and quality with Retkeilykeskus down the road. If a traveler can get a room there, do so. Lapland Hotel Kilpis should only be considered a last choice, especially given its price.
an acceptable breakfast was offered free (compared with Reteilykeskus 18€ charge. The dinner was largely delicious (their mountain bread offering, before entrees, is magically delicious), and reasonably priced. The staff were quite pleasant, diligent, well-trained, adequately English-fluent, very helpful, while avoiding being oppressive.

FinlandThe general facilities were rather ugly compared to other Lapland Hotels that I have stayed in. Everything is very old and outdated. Extensive renovations are needed. Having a one-time payment of 20 euros for electric car charging is very expensive - about three times more than anywhere else. It should be possible to change to an energy-based payment rather easily. The bathroom floor heater was set to a very high temperature that could not be adjusted.
The staff were absolutely fantastic - very friendly and extremely helpful! Value for money was rather low as the price was expensive and the room and facilities were just 'OK'. The breakfast was also outstanding. Lastly, the ranta sauna was very pleasant. The location was very convenient and the views were stunning.

FinlandTiny room. Some issues with cleanliness. Found hairs under bed linens (before we slept in them). Restaurant could use some cleaning around the windows, there was lots of dust. Restaurant was experiencing some problems, main course was over an hour late for us and nearby tables.
Breakfast is nice with lots of options and fresh waffles. Dog friendly. Floor heating in bathroom. Key location for lots of activities. Friendly customer service.

SwedenWe booked a budget alternative with our room in a hostel annex building. Bathroom not en suite and breakfast in the main building.
We booked for two nights, to be able to make a full day hike to Treriksröset, where the borders of Finland, Sweden and Norway meet. Really good breakfast with many alternatives. Breathtaking mountain surroundings. Lots of reindeers around.

Hong KongThe worst part of staying here was the absence of wifi connection in the room. Wifi was available in the main building. I failed to understand why the wifi availability could not be extended to the guest rooms, which should be a simple and not costly matter by the hotel management.
I like the cleanliness, staff attitude, included breakfast and the lakeside sauna. The hotel was also like a mini museum for Sami culture/tradition.
