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.).

Czech RepublicOur room had a window, but without actual view. You can see only darkness.
Definitely worth the money. The location is perfect - only few minutes to Myengdong. The hill to the guesthouse is steep, but you will get used to it. There is breakfest included - toast, butter, jam, noodle cups, coffee, tea. It's available all day long. The terrace has a great view to N Tower. The cable car is also nearby. The lady who runs the guesthouse is great.

SerbiaI loved everything. There is one small piece of advice I would give to people who stay here and that is to ask what and how to recycle. As it is necessary, more like obligatory, which is perfect, but it can differ from country to country. So we had a bit of trouble separating the types.
I loved the traditional sleeping mats we had, they worked wonders for my back. I also poved that evrything was clean as clean can be, we got clean towels every single day. I didn't gat that in hotels! The owner is super friendly and she gave us lots of information about travelling and in general. We also had access to filtrated water all the time and breakfast options in the morning.

United KingdomThe Yo beds take a bit of getting used to and while they are surprisingly more comfortable than one would expect; after 9 nights we are happy to be in our beds!
We spent 9 wonderful nights at Crib 49 and have already said that if we return to Seoul we would stay here again! The people who rated it poorly were clearly expecting a hotel! This is not a hotel and is not advertised as such! It is a guesthouse! It is kept exceptionally clean, the rooms are bigger than standard and the whole facility has such a lovely homely feel about it! The rooftop terrace is absolutely amazing and the location could not be better! We have stayed in a hotel in Seoul and way preferred this! As others have said - the hill going up to Crib 49 is intense but we actually liked it after a day of overindulging in Seouls delectable food!

Germany- youd hear every single time the people in the room next doors would use the restroom- the pipes were sooo loud, so the people next door woke up at 4.30 AM every morning and were using the bathroom of course, but also arguing all morning… so no sleep for us - though it didn’t rain, water was dripping off the ceiling onto the bed, but that’s just water so it was okay I think over all the hostel is 10/10, might just be the worst room we got 😅
- everything was very clean - the host was very nice! - free food in the kitchen - beds are more comfortable as you’d think (since they’re futon beds) -6 minute walk into Centre

Everything! Friendly and helpful owner, very clean and free flow coffee & 24/7 kitchen usage.

CroatiaThe area is quite hilly so it can be a bit difficult to climb up if you have a heavy suitcase.
The location is great, perfect for exploring Myeongdong and Seoul. The host was very nice and kind, very responsive and friendly. We could leave the luggage there for the whole day after checking out and we really appreciated that. The room is quite spacious and there was everything we needed.
