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.).

LatviaThe room was a bit too small and its hard to get fresh air into the room. The included breakfast in korea usually is something that you have to prepare yourself, its not the same as it is in europe.
Good location, great staff. Wonderful price for value.

PhilippinesGood room, staff, breakfast, and location! We really enjoyed our stay at Hostel Tommy. The room was clean and had all the necessary things we needed. The hotel’s location was central to all the landmarks we wanted to visit and very near to both the airport limousine bus stop and the subway station (Jongo 3-ga). There is also a 7/11 right beside the hotel, which makes it easier to buy food and t-money load. What I loved the most was our hotel room view because it gave major kdrama vibes!! It felt really cozy and gave off a nice local vibe. Thanks for the great stay Tommy!

GermanyEverything was good!
Thank you, Tommy and the team, for making my stay in Seoul so memorable! Everything in the hostel is well organized and explained. The team was very responsive to all of my questions and inquiries. I met very nice people in the community room and had a very fun time. The location is very central, you can get to lots of attractions and restaurants in a few minutes by foot. The transportation (metro and airport buses) are also nearby. The street that the hostel is on is calm and safe at night.

AustraliaEverything was fantastic.
I have stayed at over 100 places around the world and this property is top value for money and a must stay when you're in Seoul. Great location, close to buses and subways as well as many attractions. You wont find a better value place to stay in Seoul. Rooms are spotless and modern with all amenities needed. Breakfast is basic, but good. If you are after something more for breakfast, there's heaps of cafes close by. 100% recommend staying here, especially if on a budget. :)
