Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsWe didn't have bed sheets with us so we rented them, but my husband (who has a strong sense of smell) found that they smelled a little bit like cigarette smoke. I personnally didn't notice.
This place feels so cozy and authentic! I loved having breakfast there in the morning while watching the sun rise above the snowy hills by the window. It's very easy to reach by bus from Tromso (with Best Arctic buses). It's also really close to a convenience store, restaurants, and hiking paths, and relatively close to the Kiplisjärvi lake. This lake is frozen all winter long, so it's an ideal spot to watch northern lights!

United KingdomNot a lot I didn't like really, it was a comfortable place to stay and sleep for a few nights.
Breakfast was providing our own but it was a very good location close to the main reception and K-market. The restaurant at K Market was extremely nice too and tgr host was extremely friendly and I would recommend coming again. Polar night was fascinating and added a new dimension to the whole stay. Watching the amazing colours in the mountains with a constant, sunrise/sunset sky

FinlandIn the hallway there are 3 lists of rules and extra rule about cleaning. However, there was hair on the floor and table when we entered. If you try to open the window on the second floor, the curtain will fall, as it is not attached

FinlandThe hairdryer didn’t work and had hair on it. The owner had said to us that we could contact him if there’s a problem or we need anything but we didn’t cause it was not really an issue for us anyway! I’m sure if we had asked him he would fix it! :)
Perfect location that gave us a magical northern lights experience at night. Very friendly staff and a good rate for finnish standards. Well equipped with everything we needed. We were also allowed to change our reservation to one day later without an extra charge, so we really appreciated that.

EstoniaNeed to pay for bed sheets and towels, or bring or own; and pay for check-out cleaning or do it yourselves. Not is con per see, since most of northern Finland does this for some reason, but still not that customer friendly,
We went for a hike to the "Three-Country Cairn" in bad weather conditions, while hiking called the Kilpisjärvi visitors center for navigation advice. They told us to return back and not attempt the hike, never heard from them again. And we ignored them and made the full hike. On the other side the sweet ladies from the village called us to make sure we are alright, alive, not lost and need no help. Thank you!

FinlandThe cabin was somewhat outdated and it was sloppily painted on the inside. The price was high compared to the quality of the apartment.
The location was very good. A minutes walk from the store and restaurant. Nice views.

Norwayunwelcoming vibe - at the entrance a long list of how much you need to pay in case you break something, such as extremely old coffee machine jug, dishwasher that is at least 30 years old etc. you have to pay extra (a lot!) for the bedsheets and you need to put them on yourself. they are also not matching, with “exotic” prints such as tiger etc and definitely no fabric softener because they were extra stiff. You also need to clean yourself, otherwise they will charge you 30 EUR. The message about additional payments comes after you make a reservation.
Sauna was nice but it’s a standard in Finland

FinlandWatch out — they charge a lot of extra for basics like bed linens and towels and cleaning — for two persons it amounted to 58 euros. The sauna floor was dirty with human hair from previous guests and there was no toilet paper.
