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.).

CanadaFor me and my friend everything was great! But if you have large bags there is not a lot of floor space so that is something to be aware of. We had just enough room with our carry-on size bags.
Awesome location. Super clean and comfortable. My friend accidentally left her purse with passport on the arex express train and the girl at the front desk went above and beyond to help us call the lost and found and get it back. She was awesome! Overall a great stay.

FranceThe rooms are small, and the metal bunk beds are a bit noisy. Careful: there are only two rooms to share for solo travellers (one male, one female). You may not meet many people. Book in advance!
Location is ideal, in a calm street of Hongdae, 7mins from the subway station. Daniel is very welcoming, and the staff was very polite. He was available rapidly on Kakao. The common kitchen and rooftops are really top. The room was very clean, it is a super good value. I met solo travellers just like me.

IndiaIncredibly loud late at night. The kitchen curfew is not really followed.
The guesthouse property is so beautiful. The rooftop was definitely my favourite. Common areas including the kitchen are so clean and all guests maintain the same. Everyone is really nice and courteous to each other. Daniel and his staff were all incredibly helpful. The location of the guesthouse is great. Bus and train stations are within 8-9 minutes walking distance. Please keep the same in mind while travelling with luggage. Also, the check-in timing is around 3pm. However, we were able to leave our bags with Daniel and his staff which was convenient.

Czech RepublicThere wasn't anything to dislike about our stay, but as with any hostel, there might be noise in the evening from people socializing and having fun (we had a room close to the kitchen). It's helpful to be aware of this possibility and bring earplugs if needed. However, it didn't significantly affect our enjoyment of the stay.
This hostel is situated in a fantastic location and offers a nice breakfast where guests gather around a large table, encouraging interaction, which is particularly enjoyable for solo travelers. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

FranceThe house can be really noisy some nights, because some guests do not respect quiety rules. One night during our stay, a guy had a work meeting up to 1:00am, speaking loudly in the kitchen with his headset... The same night, two ladies came in the kitchen at 5:00am, speaking loudly and having breakfast, using the coffee machine (which is allowed only from 8:00am). As I complained, they did not even appologized and continued to talk... We could have stand this type of behaviour if we were only with adults, but we were travelling with children, who could not sleep due to these people...
Great location, in the heart of Hongdae. Easy access with codes for building and room. Lovely hosts. Simple breakfast, but the kitchen facilities allow to bring some more food. Spacious and comfortable room, perfectly cleaned, with towels changed every day. 7 minutes walk from Hongik metro station, which is great for visiting Seoul, and access to AREX to reach airports (both Incheon and Gimpo).

ThailandThe toilet/shower was on a separate space inside the room, so sometimes it could get noisy from latecomers
Location of the hostel was very nice, both quiet and lively, depending on the street and hour. The closest metro station was about 7' walk. Breakfast options were not plenty but quality was excellent and everything was tasty. Towel, toothbrush/paste and slippers were provided. Last and most important Daniel and the staff were super kind and helpful, definitely recommend the Thursday evening out at a local restaurant

United KingdomThe bathroom in our private double room was tiny, but to be fair this is to be expected and we knew about it beforehand!
Truly superb location: literally around the corner from all the activity and amenities that Hongdae has to offer - yet calm and quiet. Very friendly host and his team, and a pleasant and modern interior which felt very clean and well maintained. Plus a lovely rooftop terrace which we used a couple of times to grab a quick bite.
