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 reviewVery good location with easy access to buses and metro. It is in a quiet street, but it is also very close to convenience stores and restaurants. It was a great location to move around and visit the city. The family room was big enough. The hotel has a guest lounge with water, coffee, and a microwave that is open 24hrs. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Verified reviewThe location was great, and the beds were comfortable. Convenience stores were located close by to pick up snacks and drinks.
Coffee in the room would have been a nice touch, but at least there was access to a coffee machine in the building next door.

Verified reviewLocation was very good, close to metro and bus stops and to Myeongdong neighborhood - but without suffering the noises of the nightlife. Nearby restaurants, bars and 7 Eleven very convenient. The room was cleaned every day, positive note for the comfortable shower!
There was no breakfast offered and no washing machine for guests, which could have been useful.

Verified reviewLocation was pretty good. Also the shared lounge area at B1 in the Annex building was cool, even though I did not have much time to utilize it.
At least in my room handwashing pool was in the entrance area. It made things somewhat inconvenient at times, e.g. when I wanted to wash hands in the shower room. Also an advice of not flushing toilet paper down the toilet, but disposing it to a special bin, is quite an unusual request at least from a European point of view.

Verified reviewHotel is in a good location, room is good and overall met my expectations for a one night stay
The lights in the room were flickering, since the hotel was fully booked we couldn't get a room change. After some discussion about it the person at the reception offered a late check out of 1pm rather then a small discount on the room rate. Since it was already late and we were only staying for 1 night i accepted but that was a standard checkout that other hotels offered as well
