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.).

BelgiumI booked this place last minute. In the centre of Hongdae for cheap price. So did not have much hopes but i was pleasantly surprised! The location is excellent, the place is clean and comfortable. Nice mattress. personal fridge, air con, bathroom. There is a huge shared fully equipped kitchen and a rooftop. Self checkin. The staff is helpful. You can do laundry. Borrow adapters and umbrellas for free. It has good transport connections, convenient stores and cafes/food spots in 1-2 min walk. I definitely recommend

Switzerlandi do not have a lot of criticism, just maybe some advice if you're considering going here: - for two people we only got one keycard, so that might be worth keeping in mind depending on your plans - i would recommend bringing your own bed linen, but that might also just be a preference thing
i am very happy with my stay at boa travel house and i could definitely imagine returning here. the location is great, it's very close to hongik univ station and you can easily access hongdae main street by foot, but it is also not too busy or loud. the kitchen facilities were always clean and everything worked fine, also inside our room. check in and check out were very easy and mostly independent. there's also a scale so you can weigh your luggage before you leave.

United KingdomThese are pretty small things in the bigger picture but the room smelled a bit funky in the beginning, the natural light is low due to the location of the windows. Also, one of the beds is quite hard (as it's common in Korea) which some people might find uncomfortable.
Great value, location, spacious, clean and overall a pleasant stay! Loads of good food and things to do around. Would surely check again if I were to stay in Hongdae.

MalaysiaWould be better if towel is provided. Otherwise, no complaints at all!
Room including toilet were super clean with complete amenities as per description. Well functioning heated floor and aircond. Beds were comfy. The triple room was comfortably spacious for 3 adults. Pantry was complete with coway and microwave, even provided full set of cutlery, plates & cups for Muslims. Smooth self checkin & checkout. It has very strategic location near Hongik University Station, and most importantly no steep stairs to reach the house 😅 Excellent security as u can only come in with a card. Overall, i am really satisfied and would definitely come again.

NetherlandsThis was my second time staying at BoA and it was just as good as the first time. The rooms aren't big, but there's still enough room even with a big suitcase. The location is about a 5 to 7 minute walk from the subway line two and 5 minutes to the airport line. There aren't many staff around, so you will need to be confident with getting by on your own. There are plenty of restaurants around as well as convenience stores if you need something quickly. Since there is a laundromat on the first floor, It would be perfect if the property offered a one-time free washing service, especially for guests who are staying a bit longer.

PortugalDespite not providing towels or toiletries, there is a vending machine right at the entrance where you can acquire these products. Soundproofing isn't ideal, but we only had issues one night, and the guests shut up pretty quickly. We would have liked to have extra pillows, as the ones provided are a bit on the lower side. I understand having an unmanned, and that it reduces costs, but it would be nice to have someone who could provide more info if necessary, but they do have an emergency phone number for any issues that may arise.
Price-quality ratio is great, especially for Hongdae. The property is located in a great area, a mere 5-minute walk away from Hongik University subway station and a 2-minute walk from bus stops, basically connecting you to the entire metropolitan area of Seoul (I recommend using the Climate Card for transportation). You can also walk for 15 minutes to the main area of Hongdae, which is always filled with people and food stands and the like. The property is also very close to coffee shops, markets, convenience stores, breakfast places, and many other services. The place is always clean, even though you're the one who has to take out the trash and recycle, and you can't flush toilet paper. The wet bathroom might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's quite manageable. The mattress is a bit on the harder side, but we got used to it quickly. The heated floors are amazing for colder days. There is aircon which can be operated in the summer. There is a fridge of nice size and a desk and chair, as well as a clothing rack with hangers, and the beds have drawers underneath. The size of the room is much like others in the Seoul area, not big, but not too small. We did not make use of the kitchen, so we can't provide feedback on that. There is a rooftop area where you can sit and enjoy if the weather permits. The laundromat right next door could be very handy for longer stays.

Great location. Very close to Hongik Station and easy to find. Clean, comfortable and warm room (I stayed here during winter). Walking distance to mall, convenient stores, and Daiso where you can find almost everything. If you stay longer you can use laundry downstair with coin. They provide praying room in rooftop and separated utensils for halal and non halal in the kitchen.
