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.).

There was quite a bit of dust and grime in the room and in the bathtub. There was an old pc computer in our room too which did not work. We were slightly unsure about the decor, blackened glass walls which made us feel potentially observed by someone on the other side? The neighbourhood being close to the station felt a bit unsafe at night.
The room was quite spacious and the staff friendly. Korean style breakfast was plentiful compared to other hotels we stayed at in Seoul.

Not very soundproof, but nothing really bothering during the night except one when it sounded like they were vacuuming in the room next door at 11 pm. the worst pillows I have ever had in a hotel, and pretty hard beds. After 2 nights, my hip was hurting since I always sleep on the side. Was looking for the cups and could not find any. They were hidden in the fridge, paper cups. No hangers for towels in the bathroom or place to put toothbrush or other toiletries. However, there was a large bench in the main room.
the staff was lovely and so helping. And I saying that don't do them justice, they frankly were awesome. Spacious and comfortable warmth. Loved the bathroom skippers. Fresh and clean bedsheets and towels.

We had difficulty adjusting the room temperature.
Beautiful hotel with a lovely large room and a tray ceiling plus wonderful lighting. The exterior was exceptional. The hotel is located a few short blocks from the Bus Terminal and Home Plus grocery store. Breakfast had abalone porridge cabbage salad, fried eggs, toast, juice, and drip coffee. All receptionist were nice and professional.

Not a lot food wise in the general area but not really a problem. Get 900 bus and go to beach area and there is plenty.
Located really close to intercity bus terminal. Plenty of local city busses to get around on. This is a very interesting place. If you are a Westener make sure you visit the 6th floor, but don’t take the kids. Some interesting stuff to read ( in English on the walls). Really big comfortable room.

I thought it was a Renaissance run by Marriot, but actually a local motel (potential legal risk for booking.com). Almost no staff speaking English. The old lady at reception could not print the invoice when I checked out. She then promised to send by email in a few days, but failed to do so until now.

The small fridge was dirty and not cold enough. It also had a foul order. This needs to be cleaned.
size of room is amazing for a family. The beds were so comfortable and big. I love that the toiletries were readily available if you forget anything. The bathroom had a jacuzzi and kids were able to enjoy a bubble bath. There was always water for the whole family. The room was cleaned everyday!

Everything is good.
The staff and manager are very professional and helpful. The room is clean and comfortable. Toiletries, biscuits, water, canned drinks and cup noodles are provided. Homeplus departmental store is 3 minutes away. Daiso is further down the road. There is a Korean restaurant 1 minute away ( just before reaching Homeplus). The restaurant serves nice stir-fried spicy pork. There are other options, including KFC, Burger King, Lotteria, Bibimbap, Tous Les Jours, Paris Baguette, Starbucks. The bus stop is 4 minutes away and there is a line of taxis behind the bus stop (Intercity Bus Terminal area). I have enjoyed my 10 nights stay with this hotel.
