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.).

IrelandDouble bed was two singles pushed together, which was not ideal for us. Pool was cold, I knew that from other reviews though so was expected it. Would be great if heated.
Location was great. Staff friendly. Family of 5 fit into one room.

United KingdomThe main reception foyer, restaurant and pool area are really tired and feel very dated. There are lots of comments about the pool being cold, which actually didn’t bother us at all. Aesthetically the pool area could do with modernising, for example lots of rust on the radiators and a rather strange bar area with fireplace which had clearly not been used in decided felt like a bit of a waste space. I didn’t like the lack of a mixed sauna for families as we had to use separately ones in the male/female changing areas and would have been nice to share the experience together.
The hotel is in an excellent location with stunning views of the river from the restaurant. We stayed in a family room in the refurbished building and it was really spacious, clean and comfortable with a luxurious bathroom and amazing rainfall shower.

IrelandThe tunnel walk to our room in newly renovated section, no one mentioned we could skip the tunnel if we used the lift in the Lapland tours building! We discovered this by accident. Also constant aircon heating, I could not figure out how to turn it off despite removing keycard from the door and adjusting the air con settings!
Was a bit worried after reading bad reviews but as we had a family room our room was in the newly renovated section overlooking the river- just stunning! Worth it for the view itself. The kids loved the bunks that pull out from the wall and the breakfast choice was amazing, I wanted to try everything!

AlbaniaVery central Location and having bus station to Airport and Santa Claus Village at door of Hotel was superb. Good breakfast. Very nice and helpful staff. Clean room and comfort bed. Overall price is exaggerated for the standard of this hotel. MAybe it was the festive season and that's why those prices were applied.

United KingdomWe couldn’t control the temperature in the room. The wall thermostat didn’t work and it went up to 23.7C one night. We wanted it around 19-20. It took an hour for someone to come and help us, then two hours for the room to cool down.

Australiathere was no information when I checked in. no instructions on how to get to breakfast, or use of the amenities. there was no real ‘welcome, here’s how to get to your rooms, breakfast is served in xyz and zyx time’ ect. it wasn’t very personal, just ‘here’s your key, bye’. housekeeping could do with a step up, and change the mugs and glasses when they have been used and not keep the dirty one there and not have them replaced. There was no room to put luggage so it had to pretty much stay packed the whole time cause the only pace for it in my room was the bottom rack in the wardrobe - there was no floor space at all! I was a solo traveller with three single beds, surely they could of put the roll away bed away for my stay, and allow space for my luggage. no idea where three peoples luggage are meant to go should the room actually of had three people on it. luggage storage was free for all.. as in, it is not monitored. staff just press a buzzer too open the door and you put your bag in, anyone can then take whatever bag when collecting. there’s no system and it is not secured. I’m not a fancy traveller at all. I usually backpack, luxury is not my kind of travel. but these things seemed pretty basic standards I would say, not met.
the location is great and they had me in a river view room which was amazing. the buses out front to airport and Santa village are handy, and everything in town is accessible. I’ve stayed in Rovaniemi 6 times now and this was the first in this hotel. it was a bit confusing having to go underground through a tunnel to get to the other building, and instructions on how to access my room from that second building would of been handy to know at check in!

United KingdomIt was advertised as having a fitness centre but there wasn't one. When asking, we were informed it was at a neighbouring hotel and there was an additional charge. This would have been helpful to know when booking as I wouldn't have taken gym gear (far too cold to walk to another hotel in gym attire)!
Breakfast was lovely. Slightly limited on table spaces for all patrons. This was a great location for everything we wanted to do. We were in the newer part of the hotel which was really lovely.

Great location, only a few minutes walk from main streets. There is a good burger and pizza place just 3 mins walk away. There were loads of sleds available at the hotel for the kids to use which was great. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice and although it was busy, everything was kept replenished. We were in a modern room with bunk beds for the kids. The room was warm and comfortable, and plenty of space for 4 of us. There was a kettle with tea/coffee and a minibar.
