How we rank stays

Where the listings come from

Every stay on this site comes from Visit Finland DataHub, the national tourism database run by Business Finland. The companies write their own descriptions and upload their own photos there. We publish those texts and photos unedited, and the photographer is credited under every image.

How we order stays

Lists follow three rules, in this order:

Stays certified under the Sustainable Travel Finland programme come first.
Then stays with more photos, so you can see what you are booking.
Then alphabetical order.

Commission never affects the order. A stay that pays us nothing is listed exactly like one that does. You can also sort the lists by price.

Our own information

Some facts are ours rather than the company’s. Distances to the nearest airports are calculated from the map coordinates, as the crow flies, so the road distance is longer. Our reviews are written by us and always kept separate from the company’s own description.

How the site is funded

Some booking links may be partner links. If you book through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partner links are always marked as such, and they never affect the order of listings or our reviews.

Privacy

This site uses no cookies and loads no analytics or tracking scripts in your browser.

The site runs on Cloudflare’s servers. Cloudflare processes your browser’s IP address to deliver the pages and compiles traffic statistics on the server. We only see aggregated figures, such as the number of visits and countries, not individual visitors.

Photos are loaded from Visit Finland’s image service, so your browser connects to it when you view stays. Booking and company links take you to other services, where their own privacy practices apply.
