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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United StatesI wish the pool had longer hours, but I understand.
This was an absolutely lovely, blessed stay! The property is quiet, clean, and very accommodating. They offer a wonderful dinner buffet (available for an extra charge) and an included breakfast buffet. Guests have access to a refrigerator and freezer for storing items, as well as a clothesline out back for use when it’s not raining. The pool is large and perfect for swimming, complemented by a hot tub-like structure with piped-in spring water and a more rustic hot pot for those seeking a traditional experience. The views are incredible, with small hiking trails to explore. The site also features a charming rustic turf house that’s part of the Sorcery Museum—a fascinating exhibit worth wandering through. The team does an excellent job of maintaining the property and is attentive to any needs. Overall, a wonderful place that I can’t recommend highly enough.

United StatesOnly one women’s toilet and one men’s toilet for multiple (at least seven) shared rooms. No shared kitchen or refrigerator in room. Breakfast wasn’t served until 8 am, no coffee until 8 am. There is an extra fee for the use of pool and hot tubs - what a surprise! Looking back, “extra charge” is buried somewhere in the listing, but the charge is unexpected for a place that titles itself as Hotel “with natural hot spring”
The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was nice. Breakfast wasn’t served until good. The srceters cottage was great.

FinlandThe stairs to the pool could be fixed, they were kinda wonky. Small thing!
The staff were really nice and the location was beautiful. The dinner is highly recommended, everything was prepared beautifully and the chef presented details of the dishes. Breakfast was great too! Rooms were comfy, as was the warm pool. The pool facilities were a bit dated, but tidy anyway. Great to soak off the day!
