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 KingdomWe received a warm welcome during check in. The rooms were perfect for our stay in Busan, clean and quiet (despite being steps away from Haeundae street food street!). Mama’s Guesthouse is a few minutes walk from the beach, the subway and the intercity bus terminal (which is perfect).

CanadaIt can happen in Korea and we were aware but since this was not found in the comments for this hostel before, did not know that this hostel will required to put our used toilet paper in a bin rather than in the toilet. I think it is a wrong information display on the website on booking when I checked since it was advising laundry included but this is not correct. If you need, this will be 3 streets away from the hostel. But these items are really little things that did not impact our good appreciation of our stay at Mama Guesthouse !
The staff, Steven, was really friendly and welcoming! He explains us the facility and share some tips also for our stay at Haeundae. The room was quiet and bed was comfy. Was able to also have early check in so this was really great since we had our heavy backpack with us.

IsraelI was a solo travel, so it wasn't much of a problem, but I think for a couple, it might have been a little bit too small. Also, you should know to expect that the toilet paper should not be thrown in the toilet and there is no separation between the shower head, sink, and toilet area. which is quite common in the korea, though.
The staff was amazing, considerate, and approachable. I ended up asking for what spice should i bring back home from the trip. All you can ask for. The location was great. The price was fair.

It was very close to Haeundae beach- which I spent my last half day here- exploring. Steven the host was very informative - I appreciated his prompt responses to my questions & also he was very helpful in how I would get to Gimpo Airport for my flight to Jeju. All the rules of the facility were explained - which I appreciated bc it is my first time to Korea. I also think the rules are to keep the facility in great condition- which as any business owner would want. He takes a lot of care of the guesthouse & it is evident that his attention to detail has been working. The shower products were amazing ! Thank you so very much for making my stay in Busan less complicated & also for the storage of my luggage pre check in & post until my transport to airport.

PhilippinesNothing at all! I had a very pleasant stay and I wish I could have spent more time in the guesthouse.
I had a lovely time in MAMA Guesthouse and wish I could have stayed longer! The rooms were very comfortable and I was relieved to be able to adjust the temperature manually in the room during springtime in Busan. The water from the sink and the shower was strong and warm. The lounge area was very inviting and quiet yet it was also okay to chat with others and socialize. Special thanks to Steven for waiting for me to check-in despite my late flight and for making sure the guesthouse experience was smooth throughout my stay there!

Excellent location in Haeundae, close to the beach, the train station and food vendors. The host Stephen was very helpful and even fixed our toilet within a few hours when it stopped flushing. There was also a common room with kitchen facilities for guest use. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Busan.

GermanyI actually did initially not realize, that Haeundae is quite far away from Seoul train station and some of the nain central sites (e.g. Gamcheon village) with a long underground commute - but thats nothing to blame the guesthouse for. It was really a good stay ther.
Nice Guest House; Stayed in a quiet private functional room and had a very good sleep. Responsive host how gives also travel tips and recommendations. Central location in the heart of Haeundae, close to food street and beach and Haeundae underground station.
