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.).

South AfricaThe bathrooms in the girls' dormitory were not good. They were in desperate need of a deep clean. There was a broken pipe under the basin leaking water everywhere which wasn't repaired even after I notified the staff. The floors were constantly wet.
Namsam Guesthouse is in a great location in Myeongdong. But heads up there is a bit of a hill to walk up to get there from the station. There is loads of good food around and its close to great stores and art galleries. Everyone was very respectful. There is a fully equipped kitchen and some snacks too. It's nice that they have the rooftop space to relax at.

Singaporecould have provided trash bags so that we can conveniently clear the trash bin at the end of the day, especially the toilet papers that cannot be flushed down the toilet. Dehumidifier in the showers will be nice too. There were drainage smell coming out of it once in a while. Pillows were too soft and thin, while bed a tad too hard. Not recommended for people with walking difficulties/ on wheelchair/ heavy luggage; it is located up a slope, only few mins walk to the cable car station.
Triple room was comfortable enough for 3 easy-going adults with 3 cabin size luggage. Everything was as described in listing and photos.

United KingdomThe walls are incredibly thin - if you have issues sleeping with noise then do not book. This was our only issue with the property, you can hear neighbours conversation word for word through the wall. Although there are signs saying to keep quiet after 11, neither of our neighbours adhered to this so be warned!
Rooms were very clean and had all basic amenities. Location was 5 min walk to main Myeongdong shopping street so very central for shopping and any guided tours. Kitchen offered a basic breakfast which was useful and there were facilities for cleaning clothes if needed.

SpainAlright, I get I was on a budget so I was not really expecting or asking a lot. The female dorm I booked meant that I had to share it with 20 people (more or less) in a room, not well ventilated and no daylight at all. I myself was out all day so didn’t really had to suffer it. But it needs to be pointed out. Not the cleanest place but they could do better.
Location is superb, At Myongdong. Facilities were good and rooftop with views to Namsan Tower are amazing. Only interacted with the staff at the check in so can not really give an opinion. Great if you are on a budget.

New ZealandCleanliness was poor - very dusty in the room, especially under the beds and the heatpump was spitting out black dust so was unable to be used. There were belongings of previous stayers under the bed indicating the room hadn't been cleaned properly in some time I would say. Bathroom door handle wasn't working well
Great location, free ramyeon and great communal spaces

The location is superb. Walking distance to Myeongdong subway station and market as well as the N Seoul Tower. The guesthouse is homely, clean, and we feel safe. the check in and check out process is quick. We arrived at midnight and the owner communicated well beforehand so we can self check in with ease. We liked the complimentary breakfast (very handy) and more importantly the kitchen facilities where we can store and cook food (if needed). There is also a facility to do our laundry which was great. The rooftop is a bonus. It has a nice view and can see N Seoul tower from there. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner was very hospitable and friendly, he treated his guests with drinks and food and a nice chat. The room we had was good and water in shower was great. Good value for money. We noticed that there was an ongoing work or refurbishment in some part of the property which was good and although busy it did not cause any noise or inconvenience. There is a facility to store the luggage after check out which was very helpful. They even have a weighing scale. If needed, the staff can help book an airport taxi which we availed. There is a convenience store and ATM machine outside the guesthouse. We had a comfortable stay and we are very happy. Will be back. Highly recommended.

United StatesThere were a lotttttttt of beds in a single dorm room (which I was aware of beforehand), but luckily, only 5 other people slept in that room when I was there. So, it wasn't a problem for me. 😊 (I can't imagine what it'd be like if all of the beds were filled though. 😳) The shower and toilet rooms also didn't have very good ventilation, so maybe it can smell a bit like mildew.
Excellent location. Friendly staff. Clean. The beds had plenty of room for me to sleep in, and even a bit of room on the sides to keep a backpack next to me. We also got our own lockers next to the bed as well, which was nice too. There's a kitchen you can share in the common area, and they give you free breakfast (just simple instant noodles or toast and jam, but better than nothing).
