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.).

QatarCheck in time is quite late. It’s not the fault of the staffs but even though it’s written to be quiet after 11pm, I could hear people coming in and going out with loud noises. The walls are very thin hence everything is audible. It would be nice to have water bottles inside the room. I asked for a single room with private bathroom just to find the bathroom outside the room separately. Would have been nice to have it inside the room .
Everything was systematic so it was nice to check in. The place was clean. The location is amazing right in the center of everywhere.

United StatesNo complaints! People who are not used to shared shower/bathroom spaces may want to be mindful of moving the trash can out of the bathroom before showering so that the can doesn't accumulate water.
Location was very convenient, only a couple of short blocks outside of the Hongik University Station (AREX and Metro), and communication with the hosts was very smooth. We unfortunately did not get a chance to meet them but they were very helpful in clarifying policies + what they needed from us (as we were checking out very early the next day to catch an early flight). Messaging via booking.com was very prompt and helpful, especially in explaining the contactless checkin process, and alternate contacts (e.g. LINE and WhatsApp) were also provided in case those were more convenient. Although we didn't get a lot of time to explore Seoul / see the room, the temperature control was very good especially on a night where windchill had temperatures "feeling like" -12C and we have no complaints regarding the facilities. People who are *very* sensitive to noise and prioritize that when booking may want to be aware that your experience may depend on who is staying in other rooms - house policies obviously note that there are quiet hours, and all guests were respectful of that during our stay! (We did not hear any street noise, either.) However, it does feel like a space that was originally a home/apartment and you might hear a stray noise from other guests from time to time.

AustraliaClose to exit 3 of Hongdae Station. Cute little home. Very neat and tidy. Owner is easily contactable via Line and let me drop my luggage off before check-in. Note that there's 3 sets of stairs if you have luggage but the owner generously offered to help carry it up. Tonnes of bars, restaurants, cafes, and shopping nearby but the general Hongdae precinct is within walking distance.

GermanyWifi did not work very well for me, walls are quite thin, and you could not look out of the window, as it was blurred. I would still definitely recommend this room if you are just looking for a place to sleep and not spend time!
Lovely Guesthouse. I felt very safe and nice there, but it is very basic and minimalistic accommodation, as to be seen on the pictures. Everything was tidy and the area is greaaat! Perfect if you want to experience Hongdae and Seoul, but not a very cool or impressively pretty room!
