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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

FranceThe pillows are a bit hard. I have two helixes in one of my ears, and for the first time since I've had it, I had to take one off because it hurt too much when pressing against the pillow.
The host is really nice! I'm really shy, but she made the effort to exchange some words with me, always with a kind smile. Her English is pretty good too.

South KoreaMy bed was very comfortable, but my friend's was a little hard. They are metal bunk beds, so they wobbled a little as you climbed up.
The owner was so kind and helpful. We wanted to leave our bags at the property early in the morning so we could explore the city, she made it very easy. Very clean for a guesthouse bathroom. Great value.

Booked a dorm but the host was generous enough to give me a private room. When I extended my stay, I had to move to a shared room. Had good sleep in both rooms because beds are clean and even have curtains for privacy (in the dorm) Entire place has a homey vibe with pantry/kitchen and cute nooks / small lounge area. Host also took care of my laundry at a reasonable fee.

Feels like home, even in dorm room. Has everything you need for a short or longer stays. Location close to the river or a 5 min walk to a bus stop to take you anywhere: the beach, Jumunjin, or intercity bus terminal. Large cheap store Homeplus and market within 10 minutes or 2 bus stops. The host gives all the information you need about local attractions and transportation

Bed was also super comfortable and the location was within walking distance from the KTX station and a busstation so eventhough I only stayed one night I had the best time!

You can store your luggage at the guesthouse before check-in and after check-out. Great equipment in the kitchen, everything is very clean. The bed in the shared bedroom is quite big and there is enough room to store all your belongings.

CanadaWhat a lovely cozy homestay! It truly felt like a home that I looked forward to going back to each night for a wonderful rest. The house is well organized, sparkling clean, has all the essentials for comfort. The location is great , close to bus stops, train station and restaurants. Most importantly the host is absolutely amazing : she made great recommendations for itinerary, restaurants and transportation, and much more. I will love to come back if ever visit Gangneung again.
