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 StatesStaff wasn’t helpful when our flight to return home was cancelled and we had to return home a day early. They would not refund our last day. We had three rooms and these rooms were the most expensive rooms for our whole trip to South Korea. The room also didn’t look like the photos on the website. The walls are in need of a fresh coat of paint! Upon arrival late in the evening, there were some unpleasant odors wafting out of the parking area and the incense smell in the facility was strong. We didn’t see a whole lot to do in the general area.
It was convenient to the subway station and a Lotte store.

United StatesThe overall ambiance of the rooms were booked could be improved upon. Beds were a little too hard and one of our rooms had an intense and horrible smoke smell. Once the hotel staff was notified they were able to move us, but I am surprised they would book someone into a room that had issues.
The location was convenient to a Lotte mall. Public transport options were very close by, both Cheongnyangni Station and bus stop options.

United KingdomMy room wasn’t the cleanest. There was something splattered up the shelf and there was a couple of hairs in the bed but it was clean other than that. Staff struggled with English at the front desk and was asleep at the desk when I checked out the next morning. Also, bags are just left in the lobby, not a private room if you need to leave them.
Great location for Cheongnyangni train station, a 2 minute walk. Room came with a bath and the bed was comfortable.

AustraliaDeluxe twin room was NOT as advertised or as included in booking confirmation. No city view (freeway instead), no sofa, no mini bar, no laptop. There were only ottoman stools for the desk which were too low and with no backs, incredibly uncomfortable to sit at for long. There was mould all over the bathroom ceiling and wall tiles. The bidet/toilet did not fully flush/cycle. One roll of toilet paper and one bath towel supplied for two guests for three nights. One keycard for two travellers, so only one of us could leave the room at a time, or the room setting was default for cleaners to enter, with no safe or security and if one was sleeping, the other had to leave room without key access so the sleeper was not disturbed (no Do Not Disturb option/notice provided). Hotel refused to discount for fake amenities, offered smaller room as alternative, refused to engage with booking.com over complaint and ignored my follow-up message sent as per booking.com instructions. Hotel has now been listed for investigation for quality check. Hotel is located in ex-red light district so surrounds are fairly seedy and there is not a lot to do other than local markets or department store. Hard to get taxis. Beds and pillows were very firm/hard. You can do much better in Seoul. I will not use The Designers chain again because of this one hotel.
Food avenue at local Lotte department store was excellent. Room was comparatively spacious. Neighbouring coffee and pastry shop was great.

BrazilThe open kitchen could have a few more options, even if just for breakfast. Can be a bit confusing if you don't speak Korean.
Staff is friendly, room is comfortable, location next to Cheongnyangni station is unmatched. Quite good value for money. The Russian speaking cleaning staff is a plus if you speak the language.
