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.).

Belgium-I was thinking to find some down sides but couldn't find any.
-Very helpful staff and very friendly. -The hostel is very well located. Itaewon subway station is at a short walking distance as well as multiple bus stations. You can easily go everywhere by public transportation. -Very clean. Everything looks new and well maintained. -We stayed for 15 nights in our private room and it truly felt like a home away from home. -Multicultural neighbourhood with lots of various food options (halal, vegan etc.).

United KingdomThe plastic mattress protector was very uncomfortable, it should go underneath the cloth protective layer. I removed it. There is often loud banging heard from other rooms I have no idea why but it is very disturbing.
Good location. The rooms had everything I needed. Bathrooms were clean and breakfast was good. Good value for a private room in Seoul.

SingaporeSimple breakfast but if you like eggs and bread, is should be sufficient. It will be good if the breakfast can starts slightly earlier than 8am.
Good location and most important, the Itaewon station Exit 4 has both lift and escalator.

United Kingdomalthough no noise could be heard from the streets of itaewon (which is great cos people were out partying til the early hours of the morning lol) the actual walls between guest rooms are very thin and i could often hear people’s conversations and anything going on in the rooms which was a shame and kept me up as i’m a light sleeper!
great hostel! really clean, room just big enough for a few days stay as a solo traveller, fridge and water available, hairdryer etc! the bathrooms with great lighting were perfect for skincare routines and makeup! showers also really nice except for one that blocked and nearly flooded the room lol- i’m sure they sorted this quickly though! nice DIY breakfast available in the mornings! coffee shop on ground floor was a godsend for rainy mornings before venturing out of the hostel. coffee shop open from 8-9 i believe. life hack: i noticed you can get 20% discount from there if you are a guest of the hostel and get vouchers from the hostel reception! great stay, would come again!

United KingdomPersonally felt very hot in the bed (room of 4). If you’re not by the window there’s not much you could do about it. Would benefit from mini fans as another review suggested
Clean, modern feel. Very nice place to chill out upstairs and a nice coffee shop downstairs too to plan your day in Itaewon/Seoul.

United KingdomOnly minor negative, as a solo traveller I like to meet others but the setup of the common area didn't really facilitate this.
One of the best hostels I've stayed in, more of a pod hotel than a hostel. Super comfortable too. Great location a short straight walk from the metro. Itaewon was a wonderful neighbourhood with plentiful availaility of vegetarian food (very hard to find in Korea)

SpainIf you are a light sleeper like me, you might wanna bring some thing to plug your ears because you can definitely hear things through the walls (people talking, water flushing etc) - this seems to be quite common though.
- staff was very friendly - the room was clean and orderly - I had everything I needed including towels

United KingdomThe only thing was that the locker that is below the bed can only be locked with a code and it was not safe as I could open it without unlocking.
Fantastic room, I was in a shared one but it felt like having my own room. The bed is big, there is a fridge, hair dryer, table, hanger for jackets and good toilet. The breakfast is amazing and the people that work in the lobby are kind.
