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.).

United Kingdomno lift so not ideal for some people- i found it fine even with a huge case! walls quite thin!
loved the property so much! so relaxing and calming amongst the busy vibrant city of busan. host had left me a personal note on the front door for my check in which was so sweet and thoughtful. enter into the reception/ground floor area and there is always peaceful music playing- such a nice touch! the ground floor common area has a small breakfast area and the host always provides bread, cereal, milk (cow and oat i think) and various other drinks and small snacks! there is also an amazing professional coffee machine for anyone to use! i used to be a barista so this was ideallllll as i really missed making coffee! i’m sure there will be instructions for anyone who hasn’t used it before too! bedroom was so nice and cosy- towels, full length mirror, comfy bed etc! bathrooms well lit for makeup! lovely shower facilities with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste provided! common space on ground floor and fourth floor and even a terrace on the roof! blissful in nice weather! this place was my fave in korea so far! can’t wait to come back! thank you!

PhilippinesLiked everything about this hotel. It was located near exit 1 of the Busan Station, which made me so mobile during my stay. The facility is quaint and feels private, and secure - it’s like living in a pristine home away from your home. Throughout my 4D/3N stay, I only got to see two other guests despite the full occupancy of the place. Breakfast was all day long, a first for me. The room itself was comfy minimalist, which I really liked. The shared toilets were spanking clean and I never had to use it with anyone during my entire stay. The kitchen is great and all the cutleries, plates, water dispenser, coffee machine were topnotch. I could say that this was the best accommodation I have had in years, even better than my stays in pricier hotels. Super loved it.

The location is ideal for access to public transportation, dining and even the open market. Remarkably, it is quiet as it is in country side.

Netherlands- Reception: it is not 24/7 but can always contact the owner to arrange check in without issue, owner always response within few hours - No elevator: it is common in Korea so nothing to complain for the money we pay for - You could here some noise if ppl talking on the hall way OR when carrying the luggage down in the morning but not foot steps (normal walking), if you are light sleeper would recommend the ear plug which is also provided by the hotel
Breakfast: basic, bread and cereal, juice, self make coffee from proper expresso coffee machine or can do instant coffee Room: huge mirror, AC, 2 plugs next to bed, little table stand and garbage bin, big enough to fit the open big suitcase, clean, has 2 small towels but always can get more from reception, private hair dryer, has window to open for refreshment, quiet at night when close the window. 2 rooms only for each level which has quiet a privacy. Toilet/shower: 1 is female only and another is shared one, 100% clean, has shower room slippers. shampoo.shower gel. hair conditioner and tooth paste. Common area (ground floor): shared fridge, hot and cold water from the machine, travel information about Busan, basic meds/adaptors on the reception table, able to drop the luggage if needed (before checkin/after checkout) Common area (roof top): could chill there when the weather is good Owner: Super friendly and speaks perfect English

GermanyI think I’ve read in another review, that there was a bad smell in the toilets. That was still the case, but nothing serious. The toilet itself was clean. Though the lobby is a really nice place to hang out, I didn’t meet many people there. So if you’re keen on connecting, maybe that’s not your best choice.
I’ve had the most clean and comfortable stay at this place at my travel so far. When I arrived, the nice lady at the reception took her time to suggest some interesting places to go and how to get there. That helped me a lot to get started. The kitchen featured everything you need, even a massive coffee machine (I’m no coffee expert). At the lobby you could hear some slow jazz music playing, and there is some interesting canvas art you can probably buy, very relaxing. The room was clean, nice and quiet even though it was facing the street. Towels, hair drier and even earplugs for just in case were provided. There is a bathroom on every floor though only the one on 2nd is mixed. It has two toilets, one shower and two sinks and modern interior. I was worried, that one shower might not be enough, but during my stay I’ve only seen one other guest once in the bathroom with me, so that was no problem. Overall you can see that the owner was thinking a lot about interior design and put much effort in creating a cozy place.

JapanThe bath room was clean and had no problem taking a good hot shower with supplies shampoo etc, but the toilet must be done something. Unpleasant smell comes out from somewhere. I guess the drainage has some problems.
Very clean and comfortable room. The bed was good and the linen was clean, too. The room and lounge were nicely done. Also it was good that you can get coffee and drinks freely at the lounge. The hostess was very helpful. She is not at the reception most of the time, but you can text her and she will reply quickly.

GermanyGetting access to the internet was a bit of a challenge after arriving in Korea, so I wasn't able to check any further messages from the host right away. I had to wait outside the hostel and search the area for an open wifi network to get the hostel's messages with check-in instructions and the wifi password via booking.com. But this has been discussed with the owner - perhaps the instructions could be sent a few hours earlier before the estimated time of arrival/check-in. It might be also a good idea to leave the hostel's wifi password somewhere visible near the front door, so that guests can find it and log in to read new messages if necessary ;)
very convenient location close to the main train station and the ferry port. high-quality amenities and you could always make a nice cup of freshly ground coffee the room was quiet and everything was clean and comfortable it felt more like a flatshare than a hostel :) many shops around if you need anything friendly and very helpful owner
