Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Hong KongI didn't like the place in itself. The hostel is actually quite small: the rooms are small, there are not many of them, the shared rooms are small. It felt more like I was living in a house with strangers. I prefer bigger hostels where you have more privacy and anonymity.
The staff is kind, very good location.

South KoreaIf the only thing I am not impressed with is that sometimes you have to wait for the others to finish the shower as it has only limited number of shower rooms. It can be a big problem when it comes to morning time and you have to check out at certain time. Apart from that, all good.
Every time I came to Seoul, this property is always a go to place for me. Not only it is located really close from the main Hongdae street where all the night attractions are, this property gives high opportunity to mingle with the other people who happen to stay here. It is easy to make new friends and hang out together in Hongdae. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, not to mention the staff working there.

FranceNot that I didn't like it, 'cause it's not like you can change it, but maybe the bathrooms were not that enough for the number of guests when full. It's still quite clean and spacious enough!
Was planning to stay for a bit less than 2 weeks and extended for a whole month in the end! The staff is mainly volunteers also staying there, I was lucky that all of them were really friendly during the whole stay. Bosses are cool to the guest too! Bedrooms are clean, bed's matress' are hard (but it's the good hard, I liked it), kitchen is handy (small, tho). It's cool because there are 2 floors for chilling in 2 living rooms with other guests. Well located since its between Yeonnam and Hingdae, two really cool districts. Actually the street itself is full of good cafes and restaurants.

IndiaWatch your head while climbing to upper floor. When fully occupied feels bit crowded. Not the most hygienic, well maintained hostel we experienced in South Korea If you can afford to spend a bit more, select a bit more premium place
Managed by foreigner volunteers, we could keep our bags and head out. There is an Indian restaurant right opposite and kitchen facilities are decent.

United KingdomCreaky beds which I think are a bit old as on mine I could feel a spring or two poking through. I also went two nights without air con, one night was due to a power it which couldn’t be helped. The second I believe the staff had just forgot, as the air con is on restricted hours. Other rooms also went without air on in the second night.
Great location in the hongdae area with many restaurants nearby.

United States of AmericaThey make you leave your backpack in the common area instead of the room, due to space issues. So I doubt you could store anything there.
It's cheap and in a good location. The wifi is fast. The woman at check in knew a lot and spoke English, so that was very helpful for trip planning. The beds have curtains for privacy.
