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.).

South KoreaWhenever I have to travel to Gyeongju for work I always stay at this hostel. The owner is so nice and very informative. Its very clean, modern, and comfortable. Location is great, only 8 min drive from the bus terminal. For breakfast you can make your own eggs and toast with a variety of drinks.

GermanyThe hostel is really close to the tombs. It is just a few walking minutes away. You can also reach it easily via bus. Sleeping Was confortable, but in the first night it was way too hot. Showers were also fine, but only two where not enough for all the people. With the community room in the center of all rooms no real "Hostel atmosphere" was created. Small point deduction for that, as well as one of two hosts not being very friendly.

CanadaThey could use one more toilet in the men's bathroom to avoid potential crowding during busier times of year, and you're supposed to throw used toilet paper in a wastebasket rather than in the toilet itself, which is unsanitary. My other issue was with the AirBnB right next to my room: a group of people partying there kept me up all night, and they were smoking right outside of my window.
This hostel was easy to find, and the staff communicated well with me before my visit. The rooms have big lockers and modern beds, the breakfast is the best that I had in Korea, and the temperature of the room was comfortable.

AustraliaWould be great to remind people after checking it to stay quiet in the rooms and not eat there - some people checked in late and woke up everyone else after turning the light on and eating in the room. It's not the hostel's fault, but would be great to make sure that people stick to the rules. Also my luggage locker wouldn't close, but everything else was great. Thank you!
Great breakfast, clean hostel, good facilities - also free shampoo and stuff in the showers, thank you!

ChinaGyeongju is my first stop during my travel in Korea. I take a bus arriving here from Incheon airport directly. The hotel's location is convenient that can easily get to here following staff's instructions. Staff are friendly and quite helpful on everything. Hotel offers good breakfast. I love Gyeongju's rich Buddhism culture as it is the ancient capital city of Silla.

SlovakiaOn the booking it is stated that washing machine is available, however that’s not true. I ask the staff and I was told that waching machine is available only from 11-3pm, but in this time no guests were allowed to be in the accommodation due to the cleaning.
The accommodation was great, breakfast simple but enough. You could choose from toast or cereals and you could even make eggs. The room was a little bit cold but you could use heating pads in your bed.

New ZealandI only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer. It is a great place if you want to settle in for a few days. Comfortable, clean and quiet for some quality rest after lots of walking. Close to the bus stop and local attractions. The kitchen is great and has everything you need for cooking. The breakfast was surprisingly worthwhile too.
