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.).

ItalyThere is no small lights or bedside table light, just one very bright white on the ceiling. The bathroom was smelly sometimes, we believe there is an issue with the shower drainage. The curtains are not full blackout so there is some light filtering in the room from about 6 in the morning. The shower sometimes was not as hot as one would expect. The bed could use a pair of extra pillows for reading.
We got there before check-in time and the staff was kind as to keep our luggage in the morning while we were out having breakfast and exploring. The reception is very friendly, speaks good english and is helpful, with good communication and fast replying to messages. Our room was on the second floor and for 4 nights it was our home base in the city. Big enough, comfortable for 2 people, good AC and WiFi, the mattress was not very thick but surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom was efficient and had everything we needed. We made use of the laundry one time as they have an outdoor terrace were you can dry after washing, just 1000 wong for the soap and machine use, super convenient. The location is unbeatable, close to all the hip streets, shops, eateries and convenience marts. Short walk distance to the subway stations and bus stops, about 25 minutes walk to the popular Myeongdong area (must visit). There is also a kitchen were you can prep yourself some breakfast (you must provide your own ofcourse) before leaving to explore the beautiful city, we had Ramen or Samgak and tea/coffee every morning, super convenient. Overall it was an excellent experience and we highly recommend staying here either for shorter or longer stays. Excellent value and service.

AustraliaThe staff were friendly and helpful. The room I stayed in was spacious enough for the two of us (two females), even with two large suitcases left open. Both the room and the bathroom were clean. The location was fantastic. Jongno Station was within walking distance (less than 7–10 minutes). There were lots of antique and beautiful cafés and interesting places to explore near the accommodation.

SwitzerlandThis guesthouse is conveniently located near major sightseeing spots and has excellent public transport access. Although the guesthouse is quite old, the rooms were clean enough. The contact and check-in processes were smooth. However, since there’s no cleaning service, I wouldn’t recommend it for a long stay, especially if you have a toddler who might make a mess. On the bright side, the staff was very helpful and secured a forgotten item safely.
