Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

RomaniaThe instructions for using the fireplace were a little confusing (in english). The TV doesn’t work as a smart TV, doesn’t stay connected to the internet. Complicated to connect with the tv (casting) - we used it for music, otherwise you don t need a tv when you have those windows :)
Beautiful cozy cabin with beautiful big windows that lets you immerse in the nature around you while sitting comfortable by the fireplace. Amazing views at sunrise and sunset. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying true winter! There were written instructions for everything in the cabin which was very helpful. Kitchen has everything you need (including coffee and tea, sugar, spices, vinegar, oil). Perfect winter getaway! Would come back any time

AustraliaGood location, short drive to Northern Lights Village where we had booked lots of activities and short drive to lots of restaurants. Small but cosy, had everything we needed and was perfect for our 2 night stay in the area.

This property was a dream come true. In every way. So beautiful and picturesque with all the facilities you could possibly need. So warm and cosy. Has a drying cupboard to dry all wet clothes, a sauna for a bit of relaxation in the evenings and an amazing downhill driveway perfect for the kids sledding down. There’s nothing I would change.

United KingdomThe master bedroom really needs a double bed, more logs for the fire would have been nice or the opportunity to chop your own in the terrace outside. Better instructions for accessing smart tv facilities as there were no English channels available for the children to watch.
Great location, absolutely stunning scenery and lovely local walks. Very good facilities, clean and well kept. The sauna & log fire were excellent. Great facilities for washing & drying kits and layers too.

IrelandThe oven takes a while to heat as it's a conventional oven so not fan assisted, and we ate in the cabin, a few of the nights.
The Villa was perfect for our family trip. It was in a nice quiet location approximately 3kms from Saariselka. I would highly recommend this location, if you plan on using car hire. Instructions were clear for using heating system, WiFi and sauna. It was very clean. Will definitely be coming back again for a return visit if the accommodation is available. Great value for money.

FinlandThe house uses water heater. The water become cold after long time using when bathing. But couldn't ask for more in a place near forest.
The view is great, reindeers wander nearby. Quite place, got several neighbors. Facilities are in good shape. Host is very nice and respond even at night. Price is good, value for money.

GermanyWe can't really say anything negative. We couldn't use the TV because the settings didn't work. But we didn't miss it at all. The only thing we actually missed sometimes was a tea towel ;)
We had a wonderful view outside. The connection was very good. We also had the opportunity to see the northern lights here. We felt very comfortable.

United KingdomThe villa is clean, equipped with everything you may need in the kitchen , clean towels were provided , it was warm , comfortable, there is a supermarket couple of min away which was very handy . Unlike most places in Finland you won’t need to pay additional for bed linen and there are no hidden costs. There is a sauna inside and a fireplace . Very quiet and tranquil place . Sergei , the owner, was always very quick to answer any questions we had .

FranceHaving a nicely furnished house for ourselves with a nice view to the surrounding forest was a great way to experience Saariselkä. The sauna was a cherry on the cake. The village is really close by car for activities.

This place is magic. accomodation is REALLY good, especially compared with other places in the area, one of the best places we stayed in. You get beautiful sunsets, snow days and most special for us:GREAT AURORA VIEW. We arrived earlier than expected and we could check in already so that made our start super easy.

SpainThe property is not well signed. It took us a while to see which house it was. There is also a price difference between 4 and 5 guests and no extra bed is offered. In the description, a sofa bed is offered for the 5th guest but its just a regular sofa with no duvet for it, so prepare to freeze during the night. The rest of the beds werent ready either, we had to do our beds upon our arrival. No private parking is offered either, you have to park outside
The location, the living room was big enough for 5 people
