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.).

FinlandBreakfast was terrible. First day was slightly better as the next day they had stripped the buffet of a few items. Most items that were available had cleary sat out for a while, and there was nothing hot besides porridge. Also no parking available for guests.
Great room for the price, nice clean hotel with modern upkeep. Staff was great, especially the restaurant staff after hours when help was needed. Nothing bad to say other than breakfast and parking situation.

FinlandBreakfast is very simple. Breads was dried out!!! No local products available. High price-quality for outsiders not staying. Nothing has changed in 4 years.
The rooms are spacious and clean. There is no cleaning during the stay. Peaceful and quiet room (to the courtyard). My request for an earlier room and a late check out was successful, thank you, it added a lot of value to my weekend vacation. Location in the middle of the village.

United KingdomNo car parking included - car park nearby was 15 euros a day. No sauna in the hotel.
The location was fabulous. A short walk from the gondola and the village express lift, and close to the car park. A great breakfast was included - cereal, toast etc. Room was clean and comfortable. You could store your skis outside on the balcony. The room was warm. I feared it would be noisy at night because of the karaoke downstairs but it never kept us up.

United KingdomThe first night, there was a problem that several rooms, incl ours, weren't prepared at all. But it was fixed quickly with an upgrade, so no big deal.
Nice big room, decent price (August midweek), good breakfast. We stayed for one night before, and one night after, the Karhunkeiros hike, and they stored our moto luggage while we did it.

EstoniaAs for overall experience the plus would be if your hotel would have ski and ski boot storage facility. We have rented ski box from the main (Piste) building, so did not need to carry skis as suggested by the hotel staff to store in the balcony. Probably it would be good idea to provide information about possibility to rent skis and boots storage elsewhere if the hotel does not intend to develop such facilities in house. I believe it would help guests to decide to choose this hotel being confident that they will be able to rent the ski storage elsewhere. Moreover it would even be beneficial for the hotel because bringing skis and boots into the rooms deteriorate the interior of the hotel to certain extent. And the last remark, as many guests already pointed out in the the fact that restaurant zone has a karaoke bar and even some concerts/events on Fridays. We were lucky that we were located at the 4th floor, so the Karaoke noise did not disturb us mostly. However Friday nigh concert was very loud and the music could have been heard through the ventilation system, and later after the bar was closed (probably) at 4 o'clock at night there was a big noise out in the street and we could not sleep well.
Our room (2 twin beds an sofa for four persons) was clean and cozy. Breakfast was ok, lets say 8 stars out of 10. To make it 10 we would expect fried/scrambled eggs in addition to the boiled ones. Breakfast has coffee, tea juices, yogurt, boiled eggs, bread/toast bread, croissants, butter, jams, nut cream, salami, ham, two choices of cheese, various cookies, some days fruits (watermelon, apples, bananas), vegetables (iceberg salat, tomatoes, cucumbers), hot traditional riisipiirakka buns, various milks and cereals (cornflakes, mixed ones, etx), nuts and hot oat porridge every morning. Very close to the mane ski lift and in the center of everything. All Ruka village shops and restaurant are in reach of 3 minutes walk. Cross country ski tracks also very close (next to the main parking lot). Hotel and restaurant staff friendly. Hotel also has a small lounge area with the kettle, microwave and filter coffee machine, couple of tables and chairs/desks where guests can warm they meals and make hot drinks. However it shall be noted that from the dishware only the plastic glasses are there, no plates, no cutlery.

FranceThe room was a bit hot and dry, we had to wake up at night to drink. Slightly on the expensive side for a regular room but I guess it's the same everywhere in Ruka Village.
Nice Hotel on the center of Ruka village. Easy to access from the bus drop point. Staff was very welcoming and the broad availability to check-in is really convenient (up to 4am). The restaurant can provide meal until 1.30am but we went somewhere else as it was not that late. Buffet breakfast had all you can expect in a Finnish style (+1 for the oat yogurt).
