Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- UgurdStockholm, Sweden7,856 contributionsThe size and scope of this park was stunning. The artist had spent his whole life (apart from his work at the mill) creating a park with over 500 human figures of all sorts, many in yoga positions. The artist did not have any children of his own but started making a large number here after his mother died. Altogether a very pleasant stop.Written 14 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- JariJKKouvola, Finland6,853 contributionsParikkalan tori (Parikkala Market Square) is situated in the center of Parikkala by lake Simpele. You find some market stalls and a cafeteria there. There is also an interesting servant girl statue named Parikkalan piika (The Maid of Parikkala) there.
