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...).

South KoreaMattresses were very hard, it needs to be stated more clwarly on the main pagfe that thingsd like towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste etc. are not included, and toilet paper must be thron into a bin in the bathroom which guests must empty themselves. There was also a hidden 10,000 won cleaning fee which, while not expensive, would have been nice to know at booking.
Booked a two bed room for my mum and sister. Room and bathroom were very clean and well maintained, under floor heating worked really well and check in was easy.

DenmarkRock Hard beds. Difficult falling asleep. We were 6 people and everyone felt it was too hard. Only slept because of the jetlag. But seriousely if only the beds were a bit softer it would have been otherwise perfect.
Clean, sweet staff, and best location. 5 min walk to hongik university and very central.

PhilippinesThe place is near Hongdae. Tip: nearest exit is Exit 4 Place is clean, quiet, near bus stations if you don't like to take the subway trains, staffs are friendly. The place is also near convenience store, supermarket, restaurants and coffee. They also have a 24hr laundry shop in the ground floor. I like that the place is inclusive. They have a prayer room for their Muslim guests. Kitchen is common and it is also clean. Free water and use of kitchen so you can cook and enjoy the view of Seoul from their rooftop. (^-^) You just have to remember that they don't have free towels and other toiletries but these are something you can buy in the convenience store or in the stores in Hongdae. Overall, I'd stay here again.

IndonesiaI'm ok with throwing away garbage by myself. The water drops from the holes in the bathroom ceiling as the draining from AC pipe.
Great location, nearby bus stop and subway, just 5 minutes walk. At the centre of Sinchon n Hongdae. AC is good. Clean and comfortable room, and comfy shared kitchen. Very reasonable price.

PhilippinesI just think the drainer in the bathroom needs a minor repair because after 3 days of our stay, it took a while to drain the water whenever someone is using it for a shower, unlike the first day when it worked fine. Nonetheless, I still consider this place one of the best accommodations I have experienced during my travels.
The room was clean, and they had hot and cold showers. The location was near Hongdae, and if you're good at walking, you can walk to the hostel. There are a few restaurants nearby where you can eat, but they usually open at 10 am. Alternatively, you can buy food from GS25 for breakfast since there is a common kitchen available, which is also clean. The Ajusshi at the front desk (I think he's the owner) was kind and greeted us whenever he saw us.The hotel is also near the bus and train stations and has a lot of good places to visit nearby. We were so happy with our stay at this place, and if I ever have a chance to go back to Korea, I'll definitely book here again. They also have a laundry area, so you don't need to worry in case you need to wash your clothes. The lift was a big help too because it would be hard to carry our luggage, especially since we have senior and kids with us. Moreover, one thing we can't forget, which my son loved doing, was segregating the trash. This is one of the best things that I'm happy about because my son is now more responsible when throwing away his garbage.

SwedenWe didnt see much of the staff but it didnt bother me at all, as everything was just fine.
Awesome location and great value for the price. We lived really close to Hongdae which is a super cool spot for nightlife, shopping, dining etc. Definitely recommend Boa travel house. Was also really pleasant to stay a 3 min walk away from hongik university, a metro station that makes it easy to get anywhere in Seoul (airport, city hall etc).

GermanyThere was never a room cleaning or someone who came to throw out the trash and provide toilet papers. Due to our ten day stay this is what we would have wished for but it was still a very good stay without the clean up.
It was very clean and the room was newly refreshed so it looks very clean and there was enough of storage for clothes. It feels very comfortable to stay in the room.

New ZealandEverything in this hotel is great due to the excellent price. But I have to say if you check in after 3pm and try to open the key box with the password in Booking, that may not work. You can try your last four phone number. It'll work. That's my lesson after 2 hour staying in the cold late night.
