How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The hotel provides Nespresso machine but no longer provides a kettle. The hot water coming out of the Nespreso machine might not be hot enough for certain needs, such as instant noodles and brewing coffee.
Good location. It has one washing machine and one dryer; not plenty, but useful when you are desperate for clean clothes. COEX has airport bus service, which makes the hotel a good final stop.

The breakfast could be significantly improved. The choice is poor but the staff is very nice. the fitness room is just two treadmills in a small room in the basement with no window.
The rooms were comfortable and lovely, with a nice view. The hotel's location is very convenient for visiting the COEX, as it is located right next to the metro station. The staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. Additionally, there is a Starbucks and a cash machine located next door to the hotel.

would be good to vacuum underneath the beds and vacuum more often.
Prime location, easy access to train station, COEX mall and Bongeunsa temple, nearby grocery store (lotte), and Starbucks, Olive young (that provides tax refund services at the spot) were super convenient. The lady of the front desk is super helpful and kind to help with extension of the stay and communicate with local taxi drivers. Breakfast at 21F is basic but has good value of money. View of 21F Festiva restaurant, and from the hotel room is amazing. The kid liked the bed and bed lining, we too - we liked the smaller size pillows and bed linens.

No toothbrush/paste, other vanities provided. Insufficient hooks in bathroom.
Location - short walk from train station and opposite Coex mall (underground). Bathroom - modern, clean, shower was great. Beds- comfy and pillows were not flat. TV - lots of local and international channels. Safe available. Auto-flush! Strong air-con/heater. Staff members were all polite, spoke great English, a delight to deal with. My kids got the junior suite. It was nice and big and has a tub. Ample space for luggages. Strong and reliable wifi. Sufficient USB charging ports for devices.

1. The hotel restaurant only opens for breakfast and lunch, otherwise, you need to source for food somewhere else outside those timings. 2. Pillows are too soft to my liking. 3. Hotel lobby area is small, different from pictures in Booking.com
1.Housekeeping is good; cleans the room everyday and provides new slippers. 2. Location is good: 1 minute walk to Bongeunsa Station (Exit 3) with escalator (for elderly/luggage). Starbucks and a 24 hr Korean restaurant, Olive Young health & beauty store, a convenience store are only a few steps away. Exit 7 brings you to Coex and lots of restaurants (most open at 11am though). The only down side is, if your itinerary is mainly in Seoul (eg.Myeongdong, Dongdaemun), then, this location is not ideal as you need to transfer to Line 9, or if you take a bus from Seoul to the hotel, it will take approximately 45-60 mins due to traffic. Taxi fares from Seoul to hotel is reasonable though at 16,000 won or less. 3. Staff can speak and understand simple English; helped to book taxi for me a couple of times.

The room was on the small side but was not a major negative.
The location was excellent - a 3-minute walk from the metro, the nearby side street has many small restaurants, and the COEX Starfield mall for great shopping. In the room, the bed and bedding are super comfortable and there is a nespresso coffee machine and capsules are supplied.
