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.).

SingaporeStayed for 5 nights and our room didn't get cleaned. But maybe it's their rule. They did say to take care our own litter and separated based on items. We're not used to it but still manageable.
I chose this stay because of the location near Insadong and Ikseudong, where all the nice cafe at the day and busy pojangmacha at night situated. The area seems always busy, but safety near to the hotel but also far enough so we wont heard anything. We took Airport bus 6011 to the hotel and return. Very convenient and easy. Changdeokgung palace is nearby, Sevel is just in the same building, nearby station is Anguk and Jongno 3/5 station. The guy in receptionist speaks english fluently, and the cleaning lady also very kind. The room is just standar, but spacious enough for 2 people. Worth the price.

DenmarkIt shouldnt really be considered a hostel as there isnt much of a common area where people gather to meet others. I think there used to be but they removed them over time. Its much more similar to a hotel
The location was great with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. It was close to different modes of transport with both bus lines and metro being less than 10 mins walk away. Also very close to the palaces and hanok villages. The staff were also friendly and happy to give suggestions

DenmarkCheap interior materials and poor finishing in panels & floor in the room and poor work done with silicon lining in bathroom. Believe it is the reason why it’s cheap.

PhilippinesNone.
The staff was superb that we almost became friends. They worked so hard the entire week we were there but still accommodated us properly. The managers were friendly and kind people. Whats also great was that the hostel is near cafes and restaurants. 5min walk and we're in Inseokdong. Super close to main trains and bus stations as well. It also has a nearby 711 with an international atm. The neighborhood feels safe and relaxing overall. Theyre probably the BEST ENGLISH SPEAKERS ive talked to.

United KingdomThere is always room for better.
Location, in the center, close to historical sights, very well maintained, friendly staff, comfortable 2-star rooms, I will definitely come back here even if the distance is very long (UK - Seoul). It was a 5 star stay. We visited the historical sights Palaces, Temples, Museums. I cannot exclude the visit to the DMZ - which was a 5-star experience, here I read in the expression of the soldiers that "Freedom is not free!". in conclusion it was a dream stay. Thank you.
