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 KingdomBed covers and bedding were quite dirty, especially having hair from previous residents. Duvet was also dirty and smaller than its cover making for an uncomfortable arrangement. Beds were not made in advance. Common areas were quite cold. No staff at check in although some may prefer the self check in option. Towels and toiletries available but at an additional cost.
Spacious accommodation. Ample sized beds with privacy curtains, lights and sockets. Kitchen and dining facilities. Clean premises. Sauna on site. Location close to airport and Santa park. Supermarket a 10-min walk away. A very social environment, easy to meet other guests.

FranceThe water in the shower wasn't warm, which was hard with the cold... There was no heater in the bathroom neither :/ Also it's a bit abusive that we have to pay €10 for the washing machine.
The room and the bed are very comfy, it really feels like home it's cocooning. The kitchen is amazing as well. The hostel is also surrounded by beautiful nature, I loved it!

United KingdomIt it a walking distance from Santa Claus’ village and a local supermarket - everything else is accessible through cabs or local busses. Very lovely hosts and clean hostel. Made some lovely friends and saw the northern lights! There are curtains in each hostel bed, and a quiet time after 10pm-7am to allow people to sleep.

United KingdomWe weren't informed about the oven/hob limited use upon arrival.
My friend and I stayed here as a convenient place to stay when we arrived at Rovaniemi late. The location is good and the facilities are good. It's good for the price. The only issue we had was that the oven and hob were not available without request due to the war. However, we didn't come across this issue elsewhere and if there really was an issue then why leave lights on throughout the building?
