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.).

Except as a solo traveler it doesn't have any social environment. So if you are with a friend this is the place to stay but if you are a solo traveler who wants to meet people you may want to keep looking
The place was very clean. They had a roll down shade for each bed, shelving and containers for your things in the shower, outlet and light, big locker and a good location. Ive been to a lot of hostels and it's the closest to perfect.

Everything was absolutely perfect.
10/10 fantastic!!! Would recommend to ANYONE! So much so that we are staying in the Blueboat Hostel in Gyeongju as well! Rooms super comfortable and private, bathrooms immaculate, super clean all over and communal area lovely. We came out of season so it was VERY quiet but that was just perfect for us. Super close to the Hanok village (just a 5-10 minute walk up the road) and close to food places and shops.

The heating controls could do with better instructions for English speakers. I spent my first night freezing!
Really lovely lady on the front desk. The bunks were nice and clean, got good privacy from the blinds and the bathrooms were good.

So clean, quiet. Amazing place to stay at. Walking distance to the restaurants, places to visit. Bus station is near by. Bed is comfy, shared bathroom was spacious and clean. There weren't many staying there when I was there - which I really enjoyed. Host is amazing, welcoming and friendly. She gave us all the recommendations. Would definitely stay here again.

Not a complaint but some tips. Reminder: that you need to bring/keep your keycard with you all the time even to the bathroom because you'll get locked out if you forgot. Almost forgot cos I woke up middle of the night and managed to remember in time. Also note: The hostel operates self-check in/out policy, so if you need assistance/information outside of their work hours it could be inconvenient. Good to ask the helpful hosts in advance if you have any questions.
I only stayed a night so I did not have time to familiarise myself well with the neighbourhood. Location-wise, I was able to walk to the Hanok Village 10-15minutes, and the bus stop to the train station is located just across. The dorm room was nice and comfy, bed was good and firm with a privacy roll-up blind, a/c and Wifi worked well. The bathrooms were well-equipped and very clean. Kitchenette/common area was also very clean and fully-equipped, did not use other than taking drinking water from the dispenser. Met one of the hosts, she was very helpful with my check-out time and offered assistance.

If your looking for a hostel with events or more face to face interaction then this hostel is not for you. I loved the self checkin and minimal interactions.
The property is extremely clean, and exactly as advertised. The hostel is quiet and calm which I really enjoyed as it was a great place to wind down after a long day. The beds are comfy and the self check in process is so easy and definitely my favorite part. The restrooms are really clean and I never had to wait to use the restroom. The Wi-Fi works greats too.

I had an awful stay. Very noisy by itself the room, and two guests arrived at 4am, drunk, and did a lot (really a lot) of noise and the staff didn’t do anything in the morning. I slept very pourly
The location and the hostel itself. Very clean, modern, comfy
