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.).

I liked that it was close to restaurants and transportation. The air conditioning was so good. Free use of the washing machine and dryer.

LithuaniaBring your earplugs, because music from the street will keep playing till the morning ( maybe 4a.m.). We always have earplugs, so it wasn't such a big issue for us. Also, take notice that the ahower is the whole bathroom, there is no separated shower area:D But that was not a big problem, cause the floor dries during the night.
The room was clean and cosy. The location is super convenient:)

GermanyUnfortunately the windows are bad and you hear all the noise & music from the street. It feels like sleeping on a festival - bring earplugs!! And the rooms are really small, the double room barely fitted two suitcases and tall people may not fit in the bed. The floor in front of the room was not well cleaned.
The location is really good, so many things and tourist attractions are in walking distance! The hotel is in a busy neighborhood with many restaurants & bars in front of the hotel. Check in was easy, staff is really nice and filtered water is provided.

CanadaThey only thing was the sealing on the windows seems to be breaking down so on rainy days water would leak in and it caused the room to have a mildewy cent but the room was still wonderful and the giant window facing the busy streets was so cool!
The staff were super kind and helpful. They let us leave our bags for the day before we could check in because we got there so early :) fun location near lots of food and walking distance to so many attractions!

United Arab EmiratesIt would be perfect if they could provide the housekeeping service especially for long stay. But they gave us new towels and beddings when we asked, but we have to change the beddings by ourselves.
Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. The location is superb, super close to Jonggak station and it is flat ground. There is elevator so this is really a plus. They provided vacuum cleaner, washing machine and dryer, ironing facility, water dispenser and microwave at common areas. They also provide space to keep luggages and a scale! There are a lot of shops and convenience stores nearby, even Olive Young is just around the corner! Thanks for making our visit in Korea much better.

IrelandThe room unfortunately is a little small; we had two big luggages and we had barely space to walk in the room when we opened them in the room. The bed also wasn't the most comfortable bed.
This hotel is run by the loveliest people. They are so helpful, kind, and considerate. The location couldn't be better, very close to the major public transportation and to the touristic areas.

South KoreaThey kept trying to make me add them on a chat app, but I was not worried about not being able to find it. I arrived after 10 pm and there was nobody there and my card was put in a safety box and they emailed me the codes. It wasn't a problem, but I was not expecting to check myself in, haha. There were also no water bottles or kettle in the room, which was a first in Korea for me; even rooms half the price usually give those things. They did have a water machine and a microwave in the common room though.
I came to seoul for a business trip and was also seeing a show over by the palace so I needed a cheap place to stay by myself within walking distance of that. This worked. The room was cleaner than I expected from the area. There were plenty of restaurants and mini-marts and cafes nearby.

AustraliaThe beds are very hot, I think its because of the matress protector? But the beds/bedding are very standard, which is I guess reflects the price they charge. You get what you pay for, which is fair. I understand the rooms are small, but there is not much storage or surfaces to place your things. A small shelf next to the beds would be nice, and some more hooks/hangers on the bare walls, i feel like this might make the space better. *although, there are fold out tables/chairs in the hallway if needed, so this is a good solution. For some reason the tv volume wouldnt go below 32 haha No conditioner in bathroom. Not much natural light in room 604.
Very friendly and helpful staff are always quick to reply on KakaoTalk. The washer/dryer very handy. Cool/hot filtered water available. The room fit a double and large single bed. I like the plugs next to each bed. And the pink aesthetic is very cute. There was an issue with our bathroom but the owners were very quick to fix the problem and provided a solution while we were waiting for it to be fixed. Also very very greatful for how accomodating the owners were to let us check in early after over 24hrs of travelling. They provide a Manual which is very informative with directions and attractions nearby. The location is great, close to Jong-gak trainstation, the street comes alive at night and theres The Avenue of Youth is pretty cool and the Cheongyechong stream is a 2minute walk away. So many seoul attractions are nearby within 20minutes or less of walking. We had a good time at MJ Stays.

VietnamNot that I didnt like, just something to keep in mind The area is quite crowded and full of bars so expect some noises on weekends. I am not sensitive to noises but ppl who are should keep this in mind. You will not have room clean for the entire stay. And have to separate gabbage on your own.
- The location is strategic. 2-3mins of walk to bus/train station. The whole area is very central, close to all attractions. We went home at 1am in the morning and it's still crowded, very safe area to walk around - the host is welcoming and quick to communicate. They welcomed us with smiles - The room is very good. Comfortable. We can have 4 small luggages opened at the same time. Good for 2 ppl. - The bathroom is good for an accomdation of such, spacious, has all toiletries you need. - The room is clean, basic ammenities. Happy with it.

United KingdomAll good, only tiny thing is that the duvet was incredibly warm - but I guess in winter this would be a good thing!
Incredible location - right in one of the liveliest parts of Seoul. Step out the door and you've literally got 100s of restaurants, bars to explore. So much life! Yet, not too noisy. Also very near metro stop. Small but well-equipped room. Incredible value, especially for this location. Staff were really helpful before our arrival, sent a really detailed information book. They're not always around the hotel itself but are easy to reach online (whatsapp etc) and speak good English.
