How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewCozy cabin, warm and cutely decorated. The kitchen is well equiped for eating in, and the Huttuhippu restaurant is right across the road as well. It has a drying closet and place to store skis or snowboards. It’s only a very short walk across the road to the family slope. The host was very easy to communicate with.
Nothing.
Thank you so much, Georgia, for your stay and lovely review! We hope you noticed that the slopes and cross-country ski trails are just a short 50-meter walk to the end of the path on the home street (Ski Way). It's our the route We use, and it's also a fantastic spot to catch the Northern Lights. We would be absolutely delighted to host you again anytime!

Verified reviewIt was a cute cabin in a quiet place not far from all activities. We had such a great time. It was clean and the cabin had everything needed. It is easy to access even if you do not rent a car. Maria is a wonderful host and shared very detailed information on transportation as well as activities and restaurants recommendations. It was so helpful, especially because we had not booked any activities on our arrival. I would recommend the property 100% ! Thank you very much again.
You were such nice guests! Thank you so much for your kind words and your review. We look forward to welcoming you back! Best regards, Maria & Martti

Verified reviewThe property has a good location but was so dirty and there were rubbish inside the cupboard, empty cans and also the bathroom has hair on the sink. The property wasn’t clean and no towels and no even sheets for the beds. Really expensive for that kind of property and with no even the essential things.
We’d like to address the inaccuracies in your review. The apartment was thoroughly cleaned and in excellent condition upon your arrival. Unfortunately, after your departure, it was left in an exceptionally dirty state, far beyond normal usage, requiring extensive cleaning. The additional cleaning fee we requested reflects only the actual costs incurred due to this. As of now, this fee remains unpaid, and we’ve reported the matter—along with photographic evidence—to Booking.com for review. It’s clear that your review was written in retaliation for the cleaning fee, which is disappointing. While we respect all feedback, reviews motivated by personal grievances rather than an honest reflection of the stay are unfair to both future guests and hosts. Regarding the price, €31.25 per person per night for a fully equipped apartment with ski-in location—just 100 meters from slopes, restaurants, supermarkets, cafés, and 150 m from the legendary Pyhä-Luosto National Park—offers excellent value. Your booking was made at an unusually low rate due to an error, which made the additional cleaning costs even more significant. We take pride in maintaining high standards for our property and expect the same level of respect from our guests. Honest, fact-based reviews help create a fair experience for everyone.

Verified reviewWe loved the vibes, location, ambience and cosiness. The kitchen was well equipped and we loved the little details in the interior
It was a bit cold. We first thought the shower had only cold water but turns out there’s a button to unlock hot water:)
Thank you so much Ana! And please, text us next time regarding heating. We keep it 21-22C (Finnish recommendations for a healthy indoor temperature 😅), and always adjust the temperature if someone finds it too hot or cold. Warm welcome again!

Verified reviewBeautifully presented cabin in the heart of the mountains - very authentic Finnish retreat!
The oven-top stove didn’t work but the oven did! A physical welcome-pack would’ve been nice but we had all the information sent to us via email.
Thank you so much, Bob and family, for your kind stay and wonderful review. The oven-stove top is a "safety-stove-top" and operates with the timer on the right-hand side, allowing you to set the cooking time. I wish you’d asked—I would have been happy to explain! It’s great to hear that you managed just fine without it. 😊Warm welcome again!

Too cold
Thank you for your stay. Please let us know next time while staying in the lodge, if it is too warm or too cold and we will adjust it perfectly for you.👌 We adjust the temp to suite everyone. It is also good to keep in mind that we are part of the amazing travel sustainability program and also follow recommended healthy room temperatures. Today we lowered the temperature to an other guest, since their opinion was that 22C is too hot. 😄

Verified reviewSurroundings: It is a nice location with ski resorts nearby. Also, some hikes can be started from the accommodation. Cleanliness: The apartment and shower were clean. Amenities: The kitchen had all the required utensils, and a dryer for wet clothes was available. Parking is also available. Wifi signal range was good. A cosy living room with a heart-warming ambience. Bed: Comfy and clean beds.
We cleaned the whole apartment still we got a bill of 50 EUR for the final cleaning. The reason was a freckle in the microwave, a strand of hair on the floor and a mug lying near the bed (we didn't even touch that mug).
Thank you Zenith for the nice words. I checked the messages and found the photos from the cleaning company after your stay in the beginning of October 2023. One of the apartments was cleaned normally, thank you for that. 🙏 The other apartment was not cleaned, the beds were not made and the floor was not vacuum cleaned in addition to what you wrote. As you understand, if the lodge had not been checked and properly cleaned after you, our next guests would have been disappointed and would have demanded extra cleaning before their stay or money back. The cleaning fee is usually the double for so called ”surprise cleanings” since it mixes up the cleaning lady’s schedule. All in all, thank you for taking good care of the lodges, nothing was broken or anything like that. We thank you for your understaning regarding cleanliness.

Verified reviewPerfect location in a calmer area. 400m from the entrance of the NP and 100m to the visitor center and supermarket. The cabin was nicely decorated. Communication with the host was good. Instructions were clear. Early check in was no problem. Bring woolen socks or slippers, the floor is chilly 😉. Kitchen amenities okay. All in all it was a good stay. Thank you!
Unfortunately the heating poles were off, even though I checked it before my stay. Hidden costs: final cleaning (additional), you can do it yourself but that contradicts the hygiene policy. There was no microwave in my cabin. Pet instructions only in Finnish. The cabin is heated on a schedule (non-adjustable) which wasn't really convenient for me. Upon returning from a long, very cold hike (3hrs, -14°C) the cabin heating was on low and a lot of warmth was gone, not really comfortable when you need to get warm. During the night I had to open the window because the heating ran on high. There's some room for improvement here but would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. Good to hear that you recommend our lodge. :) The heating is adjusted to a constant 21 C day and night and was that during your whole stay, (no changes in the temperature during your nights, I sent you a couple of screenshots from the high tech heating system report ;) ). The microwave is inside the cupboard under the fridge to spare space for cooking. The possibility to do the final cleaning yourself does not contradict any hygiene policy since the cleaning company checks the lodges after every single guest, (yes, after every single one!) and do an extra wipe of the surfaces, (this was written in your welcome letter and is of our highest priority). My apologizes for the heating poles. Very good that it was around 0C after you arrived. It was my mistake to have forgotten to turn it on in early autumn. They are switched off between late April-October, but were turned on after your stay, (charging of electric vehicles is forbidden from the heat poles all year around due to safety reasons, but the nearest electric car charging station is only 75 m away, this is also mentioned in the welcome letter). As also mentioned in the welcome letter we wish that our guests would let us know of any problems upon arrival so we can fix them right away. It was good that you told us about the electric poles, and it would have been very good if you had told us about the other things. We could have lowered the temperature for you and told you that the microwave can be found in the cupboard under the fridge. We had once one other guest that did not find the microwave so I guess I will have to add the location of the it in the welcome letter, even though it would be best to keep it short. ;) All the best Tamara!
