How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation was good and the room was big and comfortable. We had some nice views but the beach was not in front of us like I expected.
They don't count on you for the breakfast. Seems like if the sandwiches run out, you are not eating. I know there is a poster in the elevator explaining it but it could have been great that a hotel employee explained it to us (I would have run to the kitchen earlier in the morning) It is better to offer nothing that went to the kitchen and find nothing. The sensation that leaves is not good at all.

Verified reviewSpacious room for a family, daily room cleaning service, sandwich for breakfast (weekdays) & coffee machine for guests and handy location in front of the beach, etc. We would like to come back next time we visit Pohang. Highly recommend it!!!
It would be nice if guests can use a washing machine & dryer in the building. Our kids wished cereal & toast for breakfast instead of sandwich.

Verified reviewThe hotel is right at the start (or end) of Yeongildae Beach, offering convenient beach access. Although surrounded by construction, it was thankfully not too noisy during our stay. Reception staff were accommodating: they allowed us to check in early at 2:10 PM (official check-in is 3:00 PM) and also helped us call a cab to the station. The shower/bath area is spacious.
The hotel is in a developing area, and it’s likely that future views will face a flyover, reducing appeal. The room layout is poorly designed: there’s no door separating the sink, toilet, and bathroom area. Switching on the light at night also illuminates the toilet area, which can disturb others in the room. Only a flimsy curtain separates the bathroom, making it awkward for friends or family traveling together. The shower area has no hooks, making it hard to dry or reuse towels sustainably. No ledge or shelf in the shower stall, so you’ll have to place shampoo and body wash on the floor despite the ample space. Housekeeping was inconsistent: despite booking a Family Room for 3, we were only given 1 bath towel each night, and had to go to the reception to request more. When we asked for the room to be made up, housekeeping simply removed the 3 used towels, replaced them with only one fresh towel, and swapped out the bath mat. No tidying was done. The comforter cover had come off during the night, and it wasn’t put back despite our expectation that a basic make-up service would handle it.

Well, if you say you offer breakfast than don’t give a small snack and have the coffee machine broken.

Verified reviewThe room was large (bed, desk, sofa, balcony) and the bath was excellent. The views over Yeongildae Beach were fantastic. It's a 1-2 minute walk to the beachfront, which is lined with a lot of very good restaurants and cafes. The rooftop terrace offered great views of the area. Staff were friendly at check in and check out.
Unfortunately, there was a fairly large stain on the top of the duvet cover. Sadly, none of the pillows were comfortable.

The alleyways leading into the hotel a bit messy and narrow. Nothing the hotel can do though.

Verified reviewHave been here before, and enjoyed the stay as much as I did the previous times. Super friendly staff, great location at the far-end of Pohang beach and always parking available on-site. For tourist visiting Korea: Pohang might not be on your top list, but it should be. Want to experience real Korea? Leave the big mega-centers and just enjoy the way life goes on in a midsize city: After 9 years of living in Korea I think this is the place that offers the best food, accessible even if you do not speak the language, and so many culture and heritage activities in the surrounding. And if you travel with a pet...this is the place to stay.

Verified reviewThe rooftop family suite was awesome. Enjoying a bath on the rooftop in the early morning hours overlooking the harbor created a core memory for me. It was bliss.
Only one elevator and it’s small. Not a huge issue unless your late for something and have luggage.

Verified reviewThe room was nice. The terrace and tub were welcomed amenities. But for the price, it is lacking in many areas. Essentially just a nice motel. Wouldn't consider it a hotel by any means.
First, the room is dark. The placement of lights is bad and there is only one mirror (above the sink) and it isn't well lit. Second, the shower doesn't have a shelf to put toiletries on, so its a bit inconvenient. Third, there is construction happening that will soon block the ocean view. An over priced room that will soon have no view of the ocean.
