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.).

RussiaIt was a bit hard to climb up the stairs with the luggage. And there was almost no window view, which is ok for a short stay, but if you want a long one perhaps this wouldn't be the best decision.
The room appeared to be more spacious, then I'd expected. It was bright and nice. The shower was also good. And the snacks provided were just perfect for me before an early flight, when all convenient stores were still closed. And the place is really close to the subway, where you can catch AREX all stop train.

FranceNo common area where you can chill
My stay at Dawoo House was good. It's a self checkin but the host is available if you have question or some issues. The place was very clean (I stayed in a 6 female bed dorm), you have a private bathroom with 2 showers (possible to lock the door for intimacy) and a separate toilet with a sink. You have sleepers available in the shower if needed to avoid slipping. I appreciate the room you have in front of the shower, it gives you space to get ready and organize your stuff to avoid doing it in the shower or on your bed. The bedroom is really small. You don't have any space to store your luggage (you have lockers but they were not functional at this moment) You do not have any common area where you can rest and chill, which was a little bit disappointed (it's not like a hostel vibe). You just come to shower and sleep, that's it ! (it's my opinion) The location was PERFECT !!! In a student area with a LOT of shops, restaurant, convenience stores! The subway is 5min walk from the place (Uvik University) and very close to Seoul train station but also both airports (Gimpo & Incheon Int)

CanadaRoom can get a little dry if you use the air conditioner but it can be fix by opening the small window for fresh air
Room was clean and perfect size for single traveller. Very close to exit 7 of hongik station (8mins walk) and easy to find. Located in the quieter area of hongdae so you can have a relaxing time and be close to the action at the same time. Snack was provided each day for breakfast (bag of nuts, choco pie and a small can of sikye). They were very helpful and easy to reach when needed help. Would definitely come again :)

PolandThe shower had no ventilation so it smelled but it was bearable. The thing that was a riddle for me was using hot water. First day, I was alone in the dorm (came back late), so when I went to take a shower, water was cold. There were dos and donts stick everywhere (some unclear) but nothing about hot water. The next day I met my neighbor and she told me to turn on the thermostat (however she couldn't say exactly how, she just pressed buttons). It's a pity the hostel didn't send a message with the rules considering this matter. Other people coming to the hostel the following days also didn't know how to use it, luckily I was there to tell them. It's confusing.
The bed was clean, there was a night lamp, a built-in shelf and an electric socket. There was a locker for a carry-on but the lock was broken. The toilet was clean, there was a toilet paper, but no soap to wash hands after using it. The shower had all the necessities (body wash, conditioner and shampoo). There was a huge pile of towels lying on the floor in the corridor so you could take as many as you needed. In the common space/kitchen there were: a small fridge, a hot/cold water dispenser, a table and three stools. There is a WiFi on the premises. There was a breakfast consisting of one biscuit, rice drink a tiny packet of nuts.

United KingdomThe room was too warm. I had to keep the AC on and the window open all the time and sleeping was rather uncomfortable. It would be nice to have the option to turn off the floor heating.
Room and bathroom were very clean, nice quiet location yet not too far from the city center. I especially loved the options for bright and low lighting in the room. There were also a nice wide selection of restaurants and cafés in the near vicinity of the house.

BelgiumAll was according to the announcement of the accomodotion, so no bad points.
The staff is very caring for you to have the better stay as possible. The breakfast are sweet snacks, some nuts and soja based baverage, those are appreciated. All the accomodation is very clean and well heated in winter (my stay was in January). You can plan to stay for a long term stay in this private bedroom. (I stayed in the dormitory of the guesthouse as well (before to transfer for one night in the private one) and in dormitory, a short stay is more convenient as there is less privacy).

United Kingdom- The shower room is basically a tiny wet room with a toilet and a shower hose connected to the sink. Feels quite unpleasant having a shower and wish I’d known this beforehand. - The first room I was given had a really unpleasant musky smell. I complained and they happily gave me another room. This second room was much better and had a lot more space for my second case compared to the first room! -Location is near subway but it’s a bit far from the main Hongdae attractions. - Would have liked some in-person interaction when checking in as all my communication with the owner was all by text. However they would respond immediately if there were problems. - Only stair access, so be mindful when carrying heavy luggage - No communal area to meet other travellers - something I like doing as a solo traveller
Second room was clean and spacious. Location is near the subway. Staff would respond immediately if there were any problems.
