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.).

Location is amazing, there are lots of places around to eat and drink, park is full of locals and sometimes street musicians. Room was small but clean.

United StatesWhat I didn’t like would be taking all the stairs to the fourth floor every day.
The room had plenty of storage space. I like that the door had a smart keypad instead of a manual key. It has a stove and microwave and washing machine. also, it has an outdoor space a little terrace. You can also get your laundry done in the main building.

Hong KongMy room was located on brand new annex building, but on 5th floor with no lift. The lovely staff carried my heavy bags all the way up on arrival, but found my self breathless climbing the stairs everytime, though one might think it would have been a good workout opportunity...
The staffs were promptly available ( through whatsapp ) the whole time. Had some issues with toilet flush during stay, but was fixed immediately. Location was superb, loads of restos/coffee shops within short walking distance as well as the subway station was only stone's throw away... And the absolutely comfy bed is definitely worth the mention!

TaiwanI'm sure it would be even more convenient if my family room had dishes, but since I brought my own I was alright. The staff kindly carried my luggage up the stairs as there wasn't an elevator. I'm glad I contacted the staff prior to my check in, as it took a bit time for the staff to arrive.
I like the location, as its very near Hongdae Uni Metro, with many shops and restaurants nearby. Even so, its wasn't noisy at night.

It's situated very close to Hongdae, so it's really easy to get anywhere in Seoul from it:) The heating system was very good + bathroom was clean!

The manager was kind enough to upgrade me for free to a bigger room because one was open at the moment. The rooms were sizable and very convenient, and I really liked the kitchenette. Also the snacks in the lobby were delicious lol. Free umbrellas on lend.

United KingdomThe pillow wasn’t really a pillow, more like a couch cushion which wasn’t the most comfortable to sleep with. The room didn’t have much natural light meaning you’d have to switch on the main light which can be pretty blinding later in the evening. These are more quality of life things really.
The room was nice and had plenty of amenities. The location is incredible and felt very safe. The staff were lovely and helpful!
