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 Kingdom/
Cannot fault out stay absolutely perfect. On arrival our host collected us from the airport & during check in was very informative including all safety aspects. All areas were very clean, lots of space. David went above and beyond to help our trip be a perfect one offering a trip to a nature park (which I highly reccomend) as well as offering driving to places/home cooked meals. I highly reccomend the home cooked meals! During the stay David checked in with us to make sure everything was OK and was always on hand if needed. On our last day even held onto our bags till our evening flight. Cannot fault him/the accommodation we are already planning to return next year to stay again. Thank you for making our trip a memorable one!

FranceThe location was excellent as it was 5 minutes by car from Santa Clause village and 10 minutes from the city center.The host David was very helpful, willing and nice! The food he offers at home on payment had excellent quality and in big portions. I can confidently say that it is superior and lighter on the stomach than famous restaurants we tried.The traditional Finnish sauna in the house was an integral part of our daily life! The house was comfortable for a family of 4 and very quiet! I highly recommend it to families as well as couples as it is a romantic farmhouse in the snow with fireplace and sauna!

Thank you David for making our stay so comfortable and hassle free. The accommodation was fantastic, always warm and had everything we needed. It was so great arriving to a stocked fridge and all the towels and toiletries provided and the sauna was such a nice treat. Having the option of your taxi service was so handy and saved us using expensive taxis. You really go above and beyond as a host making sure your guests are so well looked after. I hope we get the change to return again for longer

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
This property was idyllic, it was in the perfect location, quiet with stunning views! The house itself was lovely a clean and the perfect size for our short stay! There was everything you needed on site alongside extras which the host David was more than happy to be of help, with food, transfers and generally welcoming. It was like it had been cut straight from a movie. Its a walkable distance (20 mins) from Santas village which was a great walk with some of the views and perfect hills for sledging! The sauna after a day out was a real treat and David enlightened us on the Finnish traditions which made the trip all the more special! Couldn’t recommend staying here enough. We can’t wait to visit again!!

United KingdomHappy with everything.
The cottage was absolutely charming, with lots of lovely details, and super clean. Everything was brilliant from the comfy beds to the cosy lounge area and the amenities. Having an open fire and sauna was wonderful and both were set ready to use by the host David. The location was peaceful in beautiful surroundings, away from the busy centre. You can book a lift with David or catch a bus, and we were picked up from the front door by both of our excursion providers, so moving around is easy. The host David is very friendly, helpful and easy to contact, like a great neighbour. If you’d like a little piece of authentic Finland then this is the place to stay!

Highly recommended place if you are travelling with children. There is a very big garden outside and David, the host, has sledges to play there. Very comfortable cottage full of details, very clean. There is a Dolce Gusti machine with capsules, sugar, chocolate, tea, so you can have breakfast there before you start your activities. 5 min from the airport, 5 min from Rovaniemi. You have parking at the place. Thank you so much David for making our stay perfect.

This is a very comfortable, cozy, wonderful house. The house is very beautiful. It has everything you need for rest - silence, fireplace, sauna, comfortable and soft beds. For children, the owner provides shovels and sleds. And an incredibly delicious dinner of traditional Finnish cuisine, which can be ordered from the host. It was an amazing stay at this guest house.

United KingdomThe property was absolutely perfect in every way, we spent one of our days just relaxing in the warmth and space of it, aswell as sledging down the local roads. The photos on the website somehow do not do the property justice.
The location was so close to everything. The owner couldn't do enough for us from the minute he picked us up from the airport, to the moment he dropped us off. we were originally booked to stay in an expensive glass dome but changed our plans, and we didn't regret it for one second. I could not recommend the property any more. Clean, spacious, warm, log burners and radiators, an amazing sauna too, and home made baked cakes aswell! Our host provided us with an inexpensive taxi service, aswell as a welcome pack from the supermarket to get us started. we only wish we had stayed for longer...

Communication with David before our stay was quick and easy. He greeted us in person and gave us a tour of the property. Everything was explained and he even set up the fireplace and log-burning sauna before our arrival. The lodge was spotlessly clean and had a perfect "home from home" feel. The venue being just 10 minute drive from the airport and Rovaniemi City Center, you would think of noise and busy traffic... Nope, this lodge is surrounded by forest trees, nature, peace and quiet. Perfect. I'm not a fan of big commercial hotels at the best of times, and with this venue having easy access to Santa Village and Santa Park, I struggle to see why you wouldn't choose this lodge as a base to explore this stunning part of the world. David, Thank You.
