Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

FinlandOnly minus is lack of hand towels in the bathrooms.
We loved Villa Himpula. It has all the possible things that you need for a good stay! You can go with the boat or a SUP or you can relax in the sauna/hot tub. There was an x-box and boardgames so we were never bored. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can bake or cook.

HungaryWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Finnish apartment house. Everything was perfect and flawless from start to finish. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The house itself was spotless, very well equipped, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The surroundings and the natural environment around the house are simply stunning – a true escape into nature. We can highly recommend this place and would love to return!

This is the best spot to chill out. You'll be with the finest and most welcoming hosts. You'll sleep like a "log" because there is nature, beauty, cleanliness and only birds chirping around. Everything will feel like home and even better. The hosts will always be around and ready to help and will never bother you! You'll be leaving and you'll want to come back right now. Thank's a lot , dear Hosts!

FinlandWe had a truly wonderful stay at this cottage! From the beginning, the host was incredibly kind and responsive, making everything smooth and welcoming. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean, neat, and very well equipped—everything has been thoughtfully prepared with clear instructions for using all the facilities. The heat pump is a great touch—an energy-efficient solution that keeps the place cozy. The sauna was fantastic, fully equipped with everything one could need, and clearly goes beyond just the basics. The hot tub was an amazing experience, especially during the colder months—such a relaxing treat! Just a short 500-meter walk away, there’s a beautiful hut in the forest, which adds to the charm of the location. The outdoor area is very well planned: there are all the essentials for making a fire, boiling water, and barbecuing, and the barbecue area near the beach is perfect, with two long benches creating a cozy and scenic gathering spot. Inside, there’s plenty of entertainment—from group board games and books to an Xbox, making it great for both quiet evenings and fun family time. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-equipped getaway in nature!

FinlandI have a few suggestions and requests. There should be slightly more clarity regarding facilities and policies during booking. First, the cleaning fee isn't included in the booking price, and this detail wasn’t available during or after booking. We discovered upon arrival that there is a €100 cleaning fee, or guests must perform a professional-level cleaning themselves. We opted to clean ourselves since it was a short stay, but it was somewhat slightly stressful. Second, while blankets and pillows are included, the information provided is a bit unclear and could be more straightforward.
We stayed for 3 nights at Villa Himpula, an absolutely beautiful and luxurious property that is spotlessly clean and ideally located on the lakefront. It has all the listed amenities, along with a variety of toys and games that we and our kids really enjoyed. The owner has considered every possible way to wow guests. Communication with the owner was prompt and reliable. We had a great stay and highly recommend it. We would love to visit again. Thank you so much! :) :)

United KingdomThe mosquitos 🦟 (I know it's nature and can't be helped)
Hosts lives nearby, always very helpful but still very discreet. As far as finnish summer cottages go, I think this is a special find. Very close to wildlife and nature with having a very comfortable, well equipped accommodation to stay in. The owners invited us to take part in their traditional midsummer eve celebrations (bonfire by the lake, singing traditional songs 🎵), this was very nice. The house was located on a oat farm and there was also woodland and Countryside to explore. Pirkko also produces and sells her own honey which is delicious.

United KingdomNothing - it was perfect.
I cannot believe how lucky we were to stay here. Pictures cannot do it justice. Every detail was lovely - from the quality of the finishes (my partner, who lives in Finland, said the saunas were the nicest he’d ever been in), to all the thoughtful touches (generous linens and towels, chopped wood, a beautiful Easter decoration, children’s toys, spring bulbs, spare shoes… the list goes on!), to the many surprises which weren’t mentioned in the description on booking.com (we both loved the Kota in the woods)! Huge thanks to Pirkko and Juha who are beautiful, kind people. This is visible through their excellent communications, their attention to detail, and the great care they take in the property. They clearly take great pride in providing a magical experience. My partner and I are already discussing when we will return to Villa Himpula. Hopefully soon!
