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.).

FinlandThe radiators in the room dried the air out so much, it was really uncomfortable to be in the room for longer periods of time. Also the walls are super thin. Would really recommend the staff to consider getting air humidifiers for the rooms.
Marikki is very accomodating and friendly. The breakfast was good, people were respectful of eachother, the space was cozy. There were multible private shower options, also sauna.

ItalyThe place is a bit far from the village. Better to have a car, otherwise it's 30 mins walk. Breakfast was ok, but small offer.
The hostel is very nice, clean, confortable. The kitchen is useful and well kept.

United KingdomPersonally, I didn't find the bed that comfortable, the mattress was a little soft for my liking, otherwise the room was fine and just about big enough for my board bag and my luggage. Also the hill the hostel is on, is very big and reasonably steep in places, just be aware if you are walking up it with luggage.
The breakfast were lovely and the lady making them was very friendly and helpful with giving tips nad informaiton about the local area and activities. The sauna was good also and appreciated after a day out in the cold. My room was quiet but I think that was down to lack of other guests at the time of my visit, when peole were in the next room any sound seemed to travel between the rooms. Also there was a seperate room to store my snowbaord, which was appreciated. The location of the hostel is at the top of the hill, which, on clear nights, can be a good viewing spot for the northern lights, I saw them a little on the first night but it was cloudy the rest of the time so nomoure lights.

FinlandThe hostel seemed a little worn out (eg. the sheets were torn and broken), the sauna was bad (and very expensive) and there was only one key per room. Walls are thin as paper, so bring earplugs if you have trouble sleeping. The common area was very small and the kitchen is also too small if the hostel is fully booked.
The hostel is situated near a fjell, so the surrounding area is beautiful. Breakfast was pretty good and the hostel kitchen was pretty well equipped. The rooms were spacious.
