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.).

Wow - what a surprise! This "campground" is a little off the main road, located at a lake. I booked a cabin for 35 EUR/night and I got a cabin right at the lake shore, with coffeemaker, fridge, huge panoramic window, big table in front of the window, little balcony with chairs. Super fast internet in the cabin, sauna only 100 m from the cabin (you have to reserve it though). As I work remotely from time to time, this was the perfect spot!

AustraliaAll the lights left on at the village. It would be great if you turned them all off at say 11pm every night so those who wish to walk out to see the Northern Lights can do so without light pollution
Fabulous location. Completely remote right on an enormous lake ideal for seeing the northern lights the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.the facilities are basic (as expected) bit very well heated and comfortable We had a sauna which was fantastic as well. There is a communal kitchen where you can cook your own meals which was a great help especially as it is so far from town. We really would definitely recommend it to our friends

GermanyTo make it ideal it would be great to have a comfortable king-size bed (or even comfortable double-bed) in one of the bedrooms :) This is the only point that we missed.
Fantastic place to stay - perfect location in the forest, surrounded by white hills and frozen lakes, ideal for Altai Skis and snow-shoeing. We have seen dancing Aurora outside of our chalet and by the lake multiple times. The cabin was clean, we loved the sauna and very well equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace inside and outside - with wood waiting for us in both places free of charge. Very helpful hosts, who give their guests a perfect space to relax, happily answer any questions and provide support if needed. We will be back for sure! One week was not enough :)

We stay here just one night so it’s hard to give a rating. I think the location is very nice, by the lake. Our cabin was comfortable, spacious, with equipped kitchen. The cabin have a wood stove and savna and a parking in front, large sofa and TV (with Netflix).

United KingdomMinus 15 degrees at one point. Not blaming the place though, just saying
Great location near Ukonjarvi lake, in the woods, away from most people and any light pollution. The cabin we booked was good value, could have slept 6, has a kitchen which worked for our little budget. And a sauna to sweat out the aches and cold. WiFi was an added bonus. We saw the aurora 2 nights out of 3, for extended periods. This isn't guaranteed but the location is key, being so close to a dark spot with open skies (over the lake) maximises your chances. No need for those "Aurora Hunting Experiences".. my partner and I were alone in the dark with the aurora lighting the skies and mesmerising us. Highly recommend this place. The owners are reserved but friendly and helpful. I only mention this because some people expect an obsequious welcome or staff that act subservient. This isn't that place. You are guests and they are hosts and their approach of minimal interaction or disturbance suited us perfectly. They offer lifts to town when they're going and lend snowshoes if you need. Much respect to them both.
