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.).

SwitzerlandToo quiet area and restaurants are quite expensive too! Prefer to go downtown for better restaurants.
Location to visit Santa Claus is very perfect and convinience. A lot of souvenier shops around our hotel and restaurants. It was not too far to drive into city for shopping. Room is very big, clean and very nice sauna room too. Reception staffs are very friendly for everything.

Czech RepublicFor the price of the accommodation I would expect a bit better room equipment and amenities. For example it is great that there’s a sauna in the bathroom but no slippers or extra towels are provided. When we asked for it we were told that only their superior accommodation has that. But it doesn’t really make sense to me.
Great location close to the airport, very delicious breakfasts, the whole village is cute and nicely done.

SwitzerlandBreakfast was very average but sufficient to have breakfast. Not tasty and not authentic. It was a bit to hot inside the house, so removed heating and had to open windows.
Wonderful fairy tale village and the key success factor to enjoy your stay in Rovaniemi if plan to come with kids to Santa Village. We came beginning of March, days were sunny but still-5. After cold days we enjoyed sauna. You have small kitchen, sufficient to cook pasta or something easy.

AustraliaThe facilities and location were great. If you had kids, this is the place to stay, for adults 1 to 2 nights is enough, particularly if there's no snow. The restaurants are expensive and have limited choices for Westerners' expectations. The staff were very helpful, and the overall experience was a once in a lifetime.

Czech RepublicSanta’s Village may be small, but it’s packed with charm and family-friendly attractions. I recommend staying for at least two days to fully enjoy everything it has to offer. While prices can be on the higher side, the experience is well worth it. The food is excellent, and the staff are exceptionally polite and helpful. Each cabin comes with a sauna for a cozy retreat, beds were comfortable.

United KingdomThe restaurant is through the gift shop, which didn't bother me as my children knew we were staying on a tight budget, but I imagine it could be stressful for parents with children who want things.
The sofa bed was already set up as we requested, which was a great start. We stayed in a cabin at the end, and they kindly allowed us to check in early and check out late. All the staff were amazing, and there were sledges everywhere for the children to enjoy. Breakfast was plentiful with a fantastic selection. The on-site Elf Restaurant offers children's meals for $15, and the kids absolutely loved them. The magic of this place is truly felt when everyone has gone home. Plus, you can get food and groceries delivered at night, which is incredibly convenient.
