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.).

AustraliaBathroom in the Aurora cabin is quite awkward. Windows did not have curtains so sleeping in was impossible. Room temperature was difficult to manage.
Food was incredible, staff were so so lovely.

GermanyLoved it!! Very cozy with nordic interior and design. One of the coziest places I have ever been. We had an own cabin with a view to the woods and could watch the northern lights. Breakfast was perfect and healthy, staff was super friendly. Will definitely come back and can highly recommend!

FinlandA little remote location, which I would keep in mind if travelling without a car. When travelling with a car, location was very nice as it was a little away from Saariselkä centre.
Very nice and comfortable room with a great view. Breakfast was also good. Great location with direct access to the nature.

GermanyThe breakfast was really below average. Two different kinds of cheese that tasted the same (like nothing). Not a good selection in general. The Jacobs coffee machine is the worst. Produces black instant syrup that tastes really bad. Please get some standard filter coffee

GermanyThe cabins were a little difficult to keep at a stable temperature.
Beautiful location - set directly in the woods. A special treat when you are looking for a calm and relaxing holiday. We saw the aurora on 50% of the nights. The food is amazing - the buffet is of great quality and very delicious. We stayed at an Aurora cabin and loved the quality of the resort. We definitely want to come back!

United KingdomThe igloo had very limited storage, so once your outerwear was hanging up, it took over a large proportion of the storage identified.
"The igloo we stayed in was warm and inviting, and having a sauna to ourselves was a luxurious experience. We had half-board and the food was tailored to our dietary requirements. The selection of food was amazing and there was plenty of everything. The staff were helpful, professional, and friendly, and were always willing to answer any questions we had."

Indianothing really.
we booked the igloo stay which came with a private sauna. The room also had wine and chocolate awaiting for us. We reached early and they were happy to accommodate us with an early check in. We dined in their dining hall and loved the food. Staff ensured our drinks were made just the way we like it. We also booked a cross country ski and the they were very patient with us cause we knew nothing about it and kept fall. We also booked a northern lights tour and though we din't spot the northern light on that day our guide ensured we were entertained through out.

United KingdomDespite the room being very large, there was no microwave and limited wardrobe size which are things that there was plenty of room to provide. These amenities weren't advertised for our room-type, but given how spacious the room was it was surprising they haven't added a few extras like a microwave/kitchenette which would make the more basic rooms perfect.
The property is in a great, wilderness location. Perfect spring-board for nature-focused walks and tours, you really feel like you're in a winter wonder-land. The room was huge, albeit lacked some amenities. We saw wild Reindeer multiple times in and around the property which was quite magical. The staff were very friendly, the food was great, and there was adequate parking.

It was the best decision to stay at this property far away in the wilderness. We opted for half board (food was delicious) and all activities offered by the resort and it made our stay super convenient and memorable. Highly recommend this property and their activities.
