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.).

RomaniaThe kitchen is not well equipped, making it difficult to cook. Also, our room was not as well mantained as the other rooms we saw.
The room is really small, but it's a good option if you want to stay in a budget. The mattresses are nice compared to other hostels, and we had a good sleep. The hostel is really quiet.

LithuaniaThe cleanliness of the kitchen is really not that great. I would rate it 6 out of 10.
Neat shower, toilet, clean bedding, comfortable bed. The room was small, but had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The room is hot, but when you open the window, the room is aired out. A beautiful panorama of Helsinki opens from the window.

NetherlandsEndless empty corridor with lots of identical rooms, so it felt a bit soulless. But for this price that's what you get in Helsinki
It's a clean place, check in process was okay. Room is bit small but with a nice view. Public transport is about a 10 minute walk away.

United KingdomThe cutlery and plates in my room were mucky. There was one sponge to clean with in the kitchen and someone had got raw chicken all over it so as a vegan I didn't use any of the kitchen stuff again.
The location was great and the rooms quiet and the shower had good flow.

United KingdomThe room was HOT. Even when you figure out how to open the window and turn the fan on full blast, it is still like sleeping in an oven. I barely slept due to the heat. The bed was comfortable, but very narrow. There were lots of little bugs all over the bedding near the window. The bathrooms are clean, but I would have appreciated a lock on the outside of the bathroom, ensuring a private tooth brushing experience. People kept walking in. The lock on the toilet didn’t work well. It was very easily opened, even when properly locked.
The view from this property is incredible even though the location is inside what feels like an abandoned office block. The code lock on the door is great, meaning you don’t have keys to forget. But I would suggest writing it on your hand so you don’t have to bring your phone everywhere you go. The provided fan worked well. Staff were very quick to respond when I locked myself out my room, despite not being on site.

NetherlandsKitchen had almost no utensils, plates and pans to use. Microwave did work fine so I just got ready meals from the store across the square. Rooms were clean and spacious but some things were falling apart a bit.
Very easy self check-in. Great view. Close enough to the public transport and city centre. Bathrooms and toilets were clean. There is a small but quite good supermarket just across the square.

FranceThe curtains are clearly not enough to block the sun light, during the night. Because Helsinki has a short period of night during the spring, the sun blocking curtains are quite important for sleeping…..
The place is clean and neat, and the facilities are also clean enough.

EstoniaI knew from the comments they didn't have a hairdryer in the room and I think that would be a good thing to have
I liked the price, location : near the bus stops and metro station, 30mins from the veterinary faculty. There is a good Asian market nearby with a discount for students. Pillow and mattress were comfortable, it was clean. I had a microwave, fridge, kettle, coffee machine, two plates, and cups. Windows were closed. It wasn't cold in the room during the +6C outside. It was quiet at night, this place wasn't full in the beginning of May and it made my stay very comfy. Only once there was a queue to the toilet. Tap water is fine for drinking. I didn't use the kitchen, you can buy ready to eat food with a 'resq app'. The view from the window was nice, there is a construction going near the place but I never heard any noise from them in the room. How to get there: if you come by bus, go to the parking lot and use elevator. Then follow instructions from their message. Shower rooms were clean with a shampoo (if you didn't find the shampoo bottle, check other shower rooms). Some people were complaining that mirrors were absent, during my stay there was a mirror in the Room and shower room too. Taking into account the facility and price - I recommend this place as a short term accommodation.
