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.).

NetherlandsThe host was very nice, very warm welcome in the middle of the night & nice to talk with. The house is within easy reach of the airport and activities by car. The house is traditional and rooms are a bit old, but that didn’t bother us at all. The path around the corner of the house is perfect for a sleighride for the kids btw.

EstoniaJust a minor inconvenience - having a shower made also the surroundings of the toilet bowl wet. Also, a tiny bit too far from the center - 1,7km. Usually we walked to the center (it was mostly downhill) and took a taxi back.
Nice little cottage with kitchen/livingroom and separate bedroom, Grocery shop was nearby (450m). Warm and cosy. And having 2 double beds + sofa bed made it pretty convenient for a family.

PolandMe and my wife had an awesome experience staying at Vill Virpi. Our host Risto was very kind and left no stone unturned for our comfortable stay. We really enjoyed talking to him as he made us aware of the area and local Finnish culture/tradition. The shared kitchen and dining area are big and a grocery store is just 300 m from the property (enroute to the city center).Villa Virpi is 20 mnts walk from Rovaneimi city center and was well in our budget. We highly recommend it.

We were given a free upgrade to the cabin at the back of the main house. It was gorgeous, cosy & warm. We could stay as long as we wanted after checkout which was great. Our host couldn't have been nicer or friendlier. I'd definitely recommend staying here. Gorgeous little spot

Villa Virpi has a comfortable location of 20 min walking distance from the city centre of Rovaniemi and Arktikum. The double room was well-lit, spacious, decorated in Scandinavian taste, and had a fridge, a kettle, a microwave, a TV and shared facilities (shower, WC) on the same level. Risto, the owner, was very supportive and caring, he offered transfers to the airport and to the city centre by car. Guests could also share the open plan kitchen downstairs. Villa Virpi gives a very cosy, relaxing feeling as a true home.
