Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Australiathe heating was difficult to turn down in the bedrooms and the free breakfast didn't cater for anyone who didn't eat meat. But that's to be expected in busan.
The dorm was quite small and the bed pods would be better with solid doors rather than curtains, but the hotel is beautiful and such good value

United KingdomThe bins weren't emptied enough, staff behind counter waited for cleaners to do this, toilet paper bins overflowing. Would have been nice to have a bigger communal area to sit in. My main issue was the security... there were no locks on individual doors, just the main door which was left open everyday to air the room. So I had to leave my laptop in the room and anyone could have walked in from the street.
Nice little private room with door (had to store luggage on outside of door but not really an issue). Bathrooms really big with lots of showers. Separate floors for males and females. The location is super close the beach and easy walk to market. Kitchen kept clean and easy to cook food. fresh water supply. I felt very comfortable here and would stay again.

IndonesiaOnly minor tips for others: self-prepare the slipper for going between bedroom <> bathroom, only have 1 round medium mirror at shared bathroom(2), room exactly sized 1 single bed 😂 Perhaps staffs to prioritize cleaning the bathroom at their end or beginning shift when room is fully booked.
Rate 8.7 !! Bedding was so fluffy and comfy. Shared kitchen was really nice. Overall Clean. Great great location 👍🏻 attached cafe for coffee to go was so good~

United KingdomThe bed had a strange mattress protector which made a lot of noise every time you move, and it would make you slide around. The aircon was very temperamental, one night it totally switched off causing the room to go incredibly humid and made everything wet. I almost slipped in the floor a couple of times because of how wet the floor got from the humidity. After 8pm there is no staff so they won’t sort any issues out for you until the next day. You aren’t able to properly lock your room door when you go out, so you have to lock it from the inside and make sure you carry a Q-tip/cotton bud so you can lock the lock through when you return to your room. I have been travelling for a while so I have a big backpack which I was unable to fit in my pod. You are provided with two towels but they are basically hand towels, they barely wrap around you when you get out the shower so you have to try and dry yourself in the hot, steamy shower room and then are to put some underwear on. You aren’t allowed to eat in the “gallery” for whatever reason, but this isn’t ideal when any more than 2 people are eating at the small table in the kitchen. Not only that, the majority of the time that table is so dirty from people no cleaning up after themselves. The bins in the kitchen barely get emptied either so they are constantly overflowing causing bad smells in that area.
The pod room was a decent size, you can basically stand up in it. Plenty of showers so you’re never really waiting to use one. Location is great, short walk to the beach and main area of Haeundae. Staff were fairly friendly. Great value for money

HungaryYou get a key to your room where there are 4 little rooms with beds. This key only locks the main door for the 4 little rooms. You can only lock your own little room when you're sleeping so I would advise taking your valuables with you when you are not in your room (no stealing happened but still be careful)
I loved the whole feel of the place. Even though it was a hostel it was very fancy. All the facilities were clean and accessible. It was a very pretty place that totally met my expectations. The stand-alone room was very comfortable to stay in for a few nights.

Ukraine1. I would suggest getting blinds at the bathroom (common area)- I felt a little bit uncomfortable coming out from the shower with these windows, and hooks to store clothes outside the shower room during shower time.
1. Location is perfect. 5 min from the beach. Close to 2 subway stations and buts stops to go to any part of the city. 2. Women only floor and women only rooms. Convenient for solo travelers as you have you're privat small room with the door, 2 sockets and lights. No one really disturbs with late lights on or early departure. Room is air conditioned. 3. All the facilities are clean and comfortable to use. 4. Kitchen facilities are available, can cook or store products at the fridge. 5. Shower has shampoo, body wash and rinse. 2 towels are provided.

JapanSlight concern of security, but not so serious as long as you are planning on cardying valuables with you during your trip. By the time of my visit(early September), the area around the hostel smelt like suage so bad, I could smell it in your bed. The hostel is not the one to blame, but definitely worth considering when you are trying to book.
Best bang for your bucks, the place is really clean. Service is nice and check in process was easy. Strongly recommend if you are traveling alone during winter and wanna hang out in haeundae area.

FranceThe toilets and showers were always dirty. Girls didn't respect anything, they put hair everywhere. Also no garbage can in the dorm so people used the ones in the toilets for everything (food, dirty paper, bottles...) and sometimes it smelled very bad because of food trash.
The fact that you can have your own space and close your door. And it's very calm.
