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.).

United KingdomI had an absolutely extraordinary experience at Nova Galaxy Village during my one-night stay. The pods, though small, are perfectly suited and comfortably equipped for spending a night in the snow. The private sauna worked flawlessly and provided a unique experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Finland during the snowy months. Additionally, the husky sledding excursion was wonderfully timed and an absolute must-do. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable.

TurkeyThe only problem is the toilet in the room, I preferred to use public toilet because i couldn’t figure out how to use it and actually didn’t like it.
The location was great, the restaurant environment is very cozy, watching the sunset was amazing, it is great to have its own private sauna.

United KingdomVery expensive to get to and from the property if you have no car. No shuttles to the city and taxis are expensive. More activities needed to keep the guests busy in the day. The snowmobiles and husky’s were great but more daytime activities needed.
Beautiful forest setting. Unique igloo accommodation. Fresh food cooked in front of you on an open fire.excellent snow mobile and husky activities.

RomaniaIs hard not to have a normal toilet and also is quite hard to always schedule the shower in the sauna because in a holiday you want to do the things random and when you feel like it, not being conditioned in any way.
The huts are new, clean, the bed very comfortable, the location is very beautiful, surrounded by woods, the food is amazing for both breakfast and dinner, also the staff is very helpful and friendly.

GermanyWe were not that happy with our hut (Nr 4) because it is directly in front of the fence to the restaurant (where you can see the lights all night) and the location right next to the path where everybody walks.. all the other huts have a way better location, we were just unlucky this time.
We loved this little houses with a view to the sky and the forest. Very special place!! Also we enjoyed our own wooden sauna and the food from the Kota Restaurant. Big thanks to Kishan, he is doing a great job. So friendly and warm welcoming!! Also the other staff members were great

Nova Galaxy Village sits in a beautiful property in the woods by the river. The glass huts were thoughtfully appointed with everything you could possibly need fit into a tiny space. The restaurant on property not only had delicious food, but was an experience itself - watching the chef cook everything over an open flame in the middle of the space. The staff were helpful and friendly. We loved feeding the reindeer and visiting with the sled dogs. The sauna was spectacular!

ItalyStaying in a glass igloo with the forest view is such a thing you can't miss... And if you have also your own private sauna! :) But is not only the place to make the experience magic. The restaurant is delicious (super chef!) and so cozy. The veggy options were amazing. But a special comment to Eetu and Niko so kind and nice ready to help us with all our needs. They really make the different to make our stay perfect! 😍

SwitzerlandThere is no shower in the igloo. And the toilet is bio toilet in the igloo. A bit different than we used to have :) but an interesting experience washing yourself in your private sauna )). In the area there nothing around, no shops or restaurants. But that is beautiful to have a chance to see Northen lights because it’s far from the city.
Love it our beautiful experience in this igloos hotel. I loved that each igloo had their own private sauna. The kitchen restaurant is cool and the cook is Swiss. They have a private huski tour and there also private snowmobile tours and there are 2 cute reindeers living there :) we had luck to have a clear sky and at night we saw a beautiful Aurora under our heads.

We had a very pleasant stay in Nova Galaxy Village! Staff was extremely helpful, food delicious prepared in front of you on the fire. Salmon is a must try! location is amazing - surrounded by nature and not too far from Rovaniemi. Hotel organizes activities like husky ride and snowmobile, providing all necessary equipment and thermal clothing/boots. Absence of shower is compensated by having private sauna with hot and cold water which you can mix. all necessary amenities are there- water, shampoo, soap, cold storage for food, kettle, charging ports, wifi, loudspeaker, sockets etc. Igloo is rather small but space is well organized and we had enough space for 2 small suitcases. It was very warm inside the igloo as well so don’t need to worry about that. we had a great experience in winter paradise! Looking forward to come back.
