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.).

I spent just 1 night in Inside Busan, but I have a very positive impression of this place. The owner was welcoming and treated me really well, she gave me advices on what places to visit. The room was quite spacious for 1 person, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was also good. The hostel is situated conveniently near the railway station, so it's a good place to stay for people who travel to the city by train.

Had a wonderful experience here. Excellent communication and help on getting to what we need by Jiyeon. It is a lovely place to stay and will choose here again. The stairs to 4 beds room is steep, but it is not a problem to move up/down luggage. Can use the kitchen and do laundry during the stay. These are plus.

Beds were quite firm, could use a mattress topper.
Very close to train station, however if you have lots of luggage I'd recommend catching a taxi as you must go up a hill. Room was cozy and clean, floors were heated during winter as well as another in room heater. The host was very friendly and chatty, it was good getting to know her. I would stay here again.

Nothing - it was all great!
I had an amazing time at Inside Busan and it is one of the loveliest hostels I’ve ever stayed in. There are only 5 rooms so it was easy to get to know other guests and we ended up having breakfast together each day. Jiyeo is a wonderful host and her restaurant recommendations are great: I ended up trying places I might have just walked past that were amazing. The hostel is really well located if you are travelling by train as it’s a short walk from Busan station.

Tiny bathroom, where you basically have to shower while sitting on the toilet (no joke!). It was fine for one night, but would probably become an issue if we’d stayed longer than that
Very cosy little maisonette room, nice owner who is fluent in English, very flexible and forthcoming

What I liked the most about Inside Busan Hostel was its location, really close to train station, subway, convenience stores and many places to eat. It's very cozy and it just feels like home. Jiyeon is one of the best hostess ever.

The location was great! suuper close to Busan station. The owner was extremely nice and helped in any way she could. The room was clean and it had ac. However, even with the room being small an open window was more than enough (and we were three people sleeping there). The shared space was comfy and clean. The included breakfast was simple yet tasty and sufficient.
