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.).

PolandSir conditioning didn'twork. Because of this it was stuffy at room. and there was no option to open the window.
Great hotel's location and kind personel. Room pretty small, but as expected. No additional features, but they were also not expected.

BelgiumThe place was super creepy and dirty, the sheets where clean but everything else is dirty. Hated the showers and common spaces, you don’t want to chill out there. And the workers where not nice at all. The price is way to much for what you get, I hated staying there, wouldn’t recommend.
The location is good, pretty close to a lot of touristic places but I’m not a fan of myeondong, it’s not the best neighbourhood in Seoul.

There was nothing I liked about this hotel. It was the tiniest hotel room tbst I have stayed in my entire life. I paid a bomb in my currency. All I got for the room price was a box. There was no moving as space at all. No space at all to keep our luggage. I paid the same price for best western primer airport hotel. That was a fantastic hotel. Stepp inn I felt was a real rip off for my malaysian currency.

GermanyThe hotel staff was incredibly forthcoming. For some reason I was really forgetful during my stay in korea. I forgot my stuff everywhere, which, being a generally well prepared person, just never happens to me. On my last day, with my stuff loaded into the taxi already, I realized that I lost my one and only credit card. With the help of the staff that not only checked the trash for me, I found it at the store I last went to. The staff member not only explained the issue to my taxi driver, but also waited for me at the store in question and explained it to the cashier. We found it. Apart from all staff members being very friendly and providing good service, they are well versed in english and really cater towards the needs of their guests.

CanadaThe common women washroom and showroom were disgusting. When I had to use the toilet in the middle of night which is right next to the elevator, there are people who were throwing up which I did not want to use the toilet the next day. All the sinks are clogged when you start using the water within 30 seconds, and they are all covered with shaved hair, dirty residues and etc. Yuck. I wish someone clean their women's sinks, and toilets at least three times a day because their one washroom on their 16th floor are shared by at least 20 people from the same floor.
I liked the fact that they had two espresso machines in the common room. But other than that I did not have time to try out their breakfast, they were serving toasts, cereals, and that's about it

FranceWhen I arrived, the instructions and explanations that were given were a little bit confusing. But then everything was fine !
Very nice guesthouse. I booked a bed in the female dormitory. The good point is that you can check in until midnight which can be useful if you have a late flight. The employees were really kind and they let me stay a 2nd night in another room as it was a last minute request and the first room was already fully booked. As my bagpack was delayed at the airport, the reception contacted me as soon as my luggage was delivered to the guesthouse.

United StatesI think the breakfast did not have enough variety. Often times, the rooms were not clean after coming back each day. The pictures online could be updated a bit to be more accurate.
I enjoyed the flexibility and welcoming essence of the staff entirely. They accommodated to my needs in a timely manner. The location was perfect! It made me feel safe a secure as a solo traveler, and as soon as you walk out of the building, you are met with the crowd and great energy of the area. Absolutely perfect spot to stay at if you are looking to be in the middle of everything in Seoul

New ZealandI was a solo traveler and stayed in the "4-Bed Female Dormitory Room". The beds were quite comfortable but were different from the photos. The privacy curtains looked very different and did not provide as much privacy as the ones in the photos. The shared toilets and showers were very dirty. Every time I went into the toilets or showers, there was hair and/or bodily fluids everywhere. Some of the doors did not have properly functioning locks and there was very limited space to get changed. The water temperature in the showers was very temperamental and would go from extremely hot to extremely cold often. Some of the showers had very low water pressure as well.
The location was by far the best point about this property. You are right in the main streets of Myeongdong within close walking distance of so many shops and food. The staff were quite helpful and were very knowledgeable about the local area so are quite approachable if you needed any advice.
