Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomJunny is an excellent host and provides some really useful information about where to go and where to eat. The accomodation has everything you need if you plan on being out for the day. The room is very clean and new towels are provided every day. The guesthouse is a short walk from the main historical site and a variety of other attractions, restaurants and bars. There are also regular buses from the end of the road.

ItalyJunny was really a great host! She knew a lot about how to move around all the city and the surroundings and was really prepared, for example, about the exact time in which was better to take that bus. She really helped me a lot in seeing the best of Gyeongju and some things outside I didn’t know about. She also helped me a lot in finding a notebook I had lost and I really am grateful to her! The room was nice and comfortable. Everything was written down (also in English!) and all the instructions were really clear, even for foreigners, a thing I found it difficult to find in other places in South Korea.

MauritiusWalking distance to Gyeongju's main attractions. Located in a small alley which makes it quiet. Restaurants, shops, cafes, bus stops around. Cosy guesthouse. Very clean. Despite the fact that the guesthouse has existed for 10 years, it looks fresh and new. The room is comfortable and facilities as per Korean standards. Junny was a precious source of information and planned our entire sightseeing day with impressive precision and efficiency. Great local restaurant recommendations. I would surely stay there again.

SingaporeJunny the owner with her husband truly is the heart of this place. She was so generous with her recommendations which were all amazing! She really is a great ambassador of the city and local businesses. The rooms are basic but lovely and clean. Junny was also really conscious to ask if I was warm enough with the changing seasons. For extra blankets etc.

As other reviews have said, the owner Junny is very friendly! Her husband is also very helpful-- if you can speak a bit of Korean. We talked for a long time, got a bunch of recommendations and it made our trip so much better. Highly recommend!

AustraliaI find it hard to sleep in a room that isn't dark, but that's a personal thing. The railway station is a long way out of town and you will need to take a taxi or find out the local bus number.
Excellent location within easy walking distance to the historical sites, local restaurants and a 7/11. The bus stop for the big temple and the museum is close by. My room was furnished very simply with two single beds and a stool and with power points near the beds. The beds are Korean style in that they are quite firm and don't come with sheets. However, they are still comfortable. The bathroom is small in typical Korean guesthouse style. Toiletries are provided. Breakfast is bread, cheese slices and eggs. There is orange juice and you can make coffee. Junny is very kind and caring and explains everything while providing a map and all the information that you need. No issues with the WiFi.

United Arab EmiratesJunny was an amazing host who was very knowledgeable about Gyeongju and was able to plan an itinerary of must-dos in Gyeongju for me based on the number of days I was staying. I particularly loved the personalised plan and treatment I received from Junny, and it definitely made my Gyeongju experience even better! The room and bathroom were clean, and the bathroom had required amenities such as toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, etc.

United StatesJunny is incredibly proactive and helpful! She went the extra mile to check everything for us and make sure we got to where we needed to go, when we were supposed to. During check in she tried to message me a couple times, but I could not check my emails, so she left all the information at the front desk for me. Very patient of her and very bad of me! Definitely stay with her in her very cosy hostel if you get a chance!
