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.).

AustraliaThe rooms were particularly hot, and we couldn't open the windows because there was no flyscreen to keep the mosquitos out.
Katarina, our host was warm, friendly and helpful. The views of lake Kemijarvi were beautiful, it is easy to feel peaceful here.

The breakfast was exceptional for Finland - hot and cold meats incl smoked reindeer, smoked salmon, and lots of egg dishes, breads, cakes, fresh food (salad/berries/) then berries, various drinks etc. So good. Location was great - on the edge of a small town and easy to access routes out too. On a beautiful lake. And has an amazing sauna you can privately book.

United StatesThe beds weren't the most comfortable and it took a bit to move furniture around so we could create one bed from two twins. We didn't have an option to book anything but twin beds even though other rooms were available. In winter, the town nearby isn't the most active.
Though it was offseason, the hotel owner/manager was very helpful is getting us in and keeping us comfortable. We were the only ones for our second day yet we had a full breakfast prepared at our requested time.

United KingdomNothing that really can be changed, although not a nuisance, but perhaps too close to the main route through Kemijarvi.
A great selection of delicious breakfast choices. Rustic charm on the lakeside. Quiet unassuming atmosphere. Plenty of room in the suite of the ‘red house’, with more than adequate facilities for the average traveller.

GermanyThe position is only ok. The lake nearby is beautiful but there's also an industry of some sort just near the structure, with it's smokestack very visible from the hotel. Not really much the owner can do about it and also nothing that can ruin your stay, just something to keep in mind.
This little hotel is on the shore of a lake, has great rooms, cozy, beautiful and quite. The owner was a very kind a friendly lady who gave us many tips on activities and prepared us a beautiful Sauna, with a fireplace at our disposal to relax after that.

FinlandEverything was perfect!
It was a wonderful experience visiting Kemijarvi and staying in this hotel. I would stay, it was one of the best hotels we have been to so far. The staff and people around were so kind and helpful. We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who made this place so comfortable, warm and enjoyable. The hotel itself is surrounded by nature. And everything is organized/decorated following the Finnish traditions. Cosy rooms, wooden houses, lake nearby, lights, pier, restaurant...it all exceeded our expectations. The sauna is what is supposed to be a real Finnish sauna. The atmosphere of this place is just magical. Additionally, we travelled with our dog Nita and everyone was so nice to her. So, Nita appreciates this as well:)

FinlandThe access to aitta is not very comfy and the appearance of the house not very appealing. We could not set the WiFi for my foreign mobile Phone In any moment and could not ask anyone for any help. We could not switch on the Light In the living room and again could not ask anyone for help. The payment procedure did not work so well. And sauna should be included In the price. Outlook areas could be better maintained. We think the price is high-five for this type of accommodation experience.
The breakfast was Ok though quite small variety. Location is good. The reception building is nice and beautiful as well as the terrace by the lake.
