Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The breakfast buffet is ok for variety. However, the bread quality could be better. Coffee is not good. For the rooms, the basics are there. Would be nice to have toiletries e.g. toothbrush, a small tube of skin lotion. Travellers tend to forget to pack these essentials and checking in late at night does not leave time to buy these for immediate use. We know these items add cost but they don’t have to be expensive stuff, the toothbrush can be a disposable and the skin lotion a cheap brand.
We like the location most as it’s convenient to move around Seoul and Myeongdong itself is a happening place, with good restaurants and shopping. For the hotel, staff are polite and helpful.

The front desk staff could actually smile a bit more. They seem unenthusiastic in their work. Some flexibility should also be accorded when it comes to early check in. Tourists are usually very tired upon reaching the hotel and they have no where to go.
The location. It is very near to the train stations and the bus drop off point is just right in from of the hotel. The room was also made up well from the staff.

The carpet in the room a bit old and moist, perhaps would be better to replace it with eg wooden floor boards which make more dry. No tooth brush and tooth paste available in the bath room. The hotel recommends buying it by ourselves .

The aircon was centralised and there is nothing i can do to make the room warmer or cooler. On the 4th night of my stay, the room temperature went up to 26 degrees celsius which was ridiculous. All the other nights were at a comfortable 22 degrees. The staff couldn't explain why this was happening but they did their best to make the best of the situation by providing me a table fan. BUT that doesn't make it right that a room can get so warm. And the windows can't be opened at all, In fact, there are no windows, just glass panels where the windows should be.
The location of the hotel is unbeatable, right smack at Myeongdong where the shops and the night market is. I cannot stress the convenience it provides

In the room next to mine, there was a couple with children who were extremely loud. I called the desk in order to solve the issue but it lasted for many hours.
The room was big and the bed was the most comfortable. I was also right in the middle of all the important areas and was really easy to reach.
