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

Sometimes there was quite a wait for the hot water to come through.
Good location near the bus stop, shops and restaurants. Good size rooms. Friendly owners. Quiet so I slept well.

Honestly, the property itself was a little run-down and quiet (but well maintained and clean!). We were the only people staying in the property across the road (we think) and it was a little bit eerie! However, we visited in the low season, and the friendliness and professionalism of the owners more than made up for this.
The owners of this property went above and beyond. They gave us a warm welcome and helped us plan our hikes in the National Park. I really liked that we had the option for an affordable (and delicious) breakfast and dinner. We felt safe, well looked after, and at home here.

The family running the hotel was incredibly kind, our room was clean and the bed more than comfortable. We had breakfast at the red house across the street, which was also good. On top of that, we were able to buy the tickets for the park right at the Hotel. The check-out was smooth, and they were kind even though we were an hour late.

While the room was clean, the bathroom was not. There was some hair in the bathtub and mold on the walls.
The location was very with it being close to Seoraksan and Sokcho. It was very quiet with very beautiful views.

We were upgraded to Red House, since many rooms were available. This is the guest house on the other side of the street, with the same, incredibly kind owner. The host was so nice to have us checked in much earlier - again, probably because of room availability, but it was entirely his good will to give us access to the room already in the morning. The house is nicely located, 30 min walk from the park entrance, by a small, side, very quiet street. A convenience store, some restaurants and a bus stop are down the street, 5mins walk. In the room all the necessary amenities are provided. The host gives informative instructions on where to go (provides you with a map), where to eat, etc. The overall quality of the stay was actually much better than what you could have expected for that price.

The room was old- fashion. There was a lot of dust under the bed and behind the door. Very old curtains and a lot of light came through at night. The bed was not big and even though we were very well located ( just next to the seoraksan park) I think that 90€ for one night is too expensive for what is was.
Staff was really friendly, the owner helped us get to the national park and we could check in early and that was great because we could enjoy our day at the national park!

- • Solo traveller
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
Cons: - breakfast relativly pricy (7000 won per day) and includes korean and/or american breakfast - american breakfast consists of toast, butter and strawberry jam --> not the best variety - fridge and bath should have been cleaned at least once in the last few years (but it's Korea) - the house (Bandalgom) seems very old and as if it is used until it breaks down. Basement is an accessible storage room (not good for kids, but nice if you like to stay in a house with a slight ghost touch ;) ) - relativly high price for what you get
please keep in mind, that I have a european view: Pros: - large room - high quality mosquito net on window available - fridge available - room was never stuffy (even in august / raining season) and could be cooled easily with air con - beautiful view on surrounding mountains (even if you get a room on the other side of the house, you have beautiful view on the nature) - relativly good bus connection (7 AM ~ 8 PM every 20 min) - flawless WiFi and TV - huge comic collection (korean only) available through owner (nice for kids) - arcade video games are also available - restaurants and 7-Eleven are very close (~ 300 m walk). If you want more, you should take the bus Neutral: - travel time from Sokcho Express Bus Terminal to accomodation ~30 min (the other Terminal adds another 30 min to the local bus travel time since the other Terminal is located in the other half of Sokcho) - due to surrounding nature, many mosquitos available

I’m very happy I stayed here. The host was very welcoming! He made every effort to make my stay more comfortable. Not only was the staff helpful and kind the host also helped me plan my hike (in English). The wifi was also very good which was a necessity for me. Location was perfect, with a beautiful view and the stay was serene and beautiful.
