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.).

Great and peaceful hostel, close to main attractions of the city. The manager of the hostel and staff were very helpful and kind. Everything was clean and part of the hostel seemed to be brand new or freshly renovated. Beds were comfortable with huge lockets under them so even very big luggage could fit in. Breakfasts were delicious and everything you needed was provided (huge plus for possibility to make your own scrambled eggs).

United KingdomIf I had to pick something the room was maybe a tiny bit stuffy. Oh and no lift, only stairs. Struggled a bit with my bad back but not too bad as it's only 1 floor.
Loved this hostel. Charming, quiet, welcoming and calming. Much like the town of Gyeongju. Big and comfortable beds, clean and fresh everything including showers and toilets. Good location to access all the good bits of town. Great breakfast of eggs(which you can cook however you like), cereal, bread, nuts, etc. But my favourite was the lovely and kind man behind reception who went out of his way to organise a way for me to watch a golf tournament!

United KingdomPersonally, checking in was really easy although I missed the chance to chat with someone at the reception on arrival. but that's no reason to down grade my stay. It was perfect.
Blueboat was the perfect guesthouse place to stay and spend time in Gyeongju.. close to local cultural areas and a local bus away to the express bus station and museums.. although I walked everywhere with no problem..nothing is that far, including the main town. Breakfast was great and everywhere was very organized and clean.

BelgiumWe stayed in a private room with 3 people. We had an amazing stay. The staff was very friendly, and the property had everything you needed. If you come by KTX, the bus stops at a 2 min walk from the hostel. It’s a 5-10 min walk from the Daereungwon-tombs, from where you can start your walking tour, seeing all the highlights of Gyeonju. There’s also a 7/11 right across the street. Even if the host was not at the reception area, you could reach him by WhatsApp, opened on a computer on the counter. The included breakfast was wonderful as well. After check-out, you can store your bags (for free!) in the bakery on the groundfloor.
