Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Ole and Magni were super welcoming, had great suggestions and were always available for questions. The location has a beautiful view of the fjord and we got to see the aurora borealis on 4 days during our stay! The cabin itself had all the amenities we needed and with the wood burning oven it was super cosy. We had such a lovely time at Solheim Fritidsgård! :)

LithuaniaYou need to pay 10 eur extra for a set of bed linens (20 eur for a couple). Even then, the cost of the apartment was quite reasonable.
We chose this location for our first night in the countryside of Northern Norway. It was the perfect choice. It's very easy to reach here if you rent a car as there's a ferry which runs regularly from Breidvik to Svensby. When we arrived here it was covered in thick snow but it was easy to manoeuvre the vehicle on these roads and park the car next to the apartment. We met Ole Anton who stays on the property and is a gracious host. The apartment was really spacious with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen. The heating worked well, which made the apartment very cosy. The best part about the apartment is the 2 large windows which show the view out to Breidvik and the mountains. We drove around hunting the Northern lights which was quite successful as there is very little to no light pollution out here. Once we got back, we noticed around midnight that the Northern lights were appearing in the sky right above the apartment which we were able to marvel at in the comfort of the cosiness inside with a cup of tea. So if you go here during the season and see a clear sky above, it's quite likely you will witness same. This made our stay one of the best ever! When you stay in this apartment, you can also drive to the Lyngen Alps in 10-15 minutes, where you will see some of the best views Northern Norway has on offer.

FinlandWe had a perfect stay at Solheim, me and my wife and our two dogs. We had booked a cottage, but when we arrived the host told us that the apartment at the ground floor would be better for us when we are staying tree nights. And he was right. The apartment was big, clean and well equipped and everything was perfect. We can warmly recommend this this place when you are visiting Lyngen.
