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.).

Located close to Dongdaemun shopping area with plentiful of food choices. Airport bus is 3 minutes by foot. Convenience stall at the corner. Hostel is very clean and modern though the exterior doesn't appear so. Heated floor, air-condition, hot water and pressure works very well. Free water dispenser and free washing machine usuage (no. of times is in relation to your room fees). English-speaking owner and his lovely wife are both very friendly and helpful; available at all time round the clock in case you need them. Very comfortable beds and had a restful 5 nights there.

SingaporeRoom smelled moldy, smell went away after maybe a minute of turning the AC on
Owner was incredibly nice and helpful; one memory that stood out to me was when I was trying to do my laundry, he helped me set up the laundry rack to dry it outside and even helped me bring it in after sundown, really appreciate it. Room is also quite clean, location is incredibly convenient yet in a quiet neighborhood.

GermanyI was there quite before the check-in time but it was no problem to leave my luggage there. Everything was clean, the room was cozy and the staff was super friendly and attentive! The hostel is very central so you can reach a lot of sights quite fast. However, there is no big selection of restaurants and cafes around it.

PhilippinesI don't have anything to dislike with this place. This place is really good.
I like the location of the hostel since it is near the subway station and bus station. Any visitor could go around Seoul easily when a bus station or a subway station is nearby the accommodation. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Hot showers are available too. The price for my stay was really good. The owner is really friendly and speaks well in English. He suggests local places to visit like the Gwangjang night market etc. Highly recommended. Willing to book again.

PolandWe knew before booking about the room size. For 3 adults with 3 bags the space might be small but was enough for us :)
Great location, near DDP, cafes, restaurants, shops, money exchange, city transport both metro and buses. Very nice staff on the reception. We could leave our bags before check-in. We could refill our bottles with fresh cold water in the kitchen. We didn't have breakfast so I can't say anything about it except it was served at 8AM.
