How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewStaffs were super friendly. Location is perfect.
There were no plug-in in the bathroom and corridor. I think there should be one for room of 8, since we shouldn't disturb others with the sound of hair dryer ;)

Verified reviewThe place is so strategic and so accessible. You can easily go to the tourist attractions with the transport that is so close. It's in the middle of the Jongro where you can shop, eat delicious meals, or hang out with your friends. The staff was also so nice. I left my luggage in the lobby while I went around, even thought I was not staying at the place anymore. I also did my assignment with the fast wifi at the lobby.
I wish there is a curtain for each bed since I sleep in the upper bed and I couldn't turn off the lights. And with the affordable price, it's understandable that you have to share with everyone. But you can make new friends.

Verified reviewThe space was nice and wide for shared beds. The staff was so nice to keep my luggage for me for a day for free! The place is kinda close to the metro.

Verified reviewLocation! Location! Location! It is a really great location to explore Daegu by public transportation. Also, there are many small restaurants hidden. If you like to walk around, you will definitely find at least a few great restaurants. Those are reasonable prices as well. Another great value of this place is definitely the staff. They are young and energetic. If you are new in town,ask them. They will find a way to help you.
There was no lift, and the stairs were long and narrow. It was hard until I got used to it. I was expecting a light cooking facility . However, there was only a microwave on the 2nd floor and a refrigerator on the 1st floor.

Verified reviewNice guesthouse, staff are very nice. Good location and you can get everywhere in the city from the nearby metro.
The only small complaint I would have is that there is no kitchen. Would be a nice touch for backpacking travellers.

Verified reviewThe location of the Hostel is super convenient and close to so many transportation options, restaurants, cafes, and attractions
Though the beds were firm, it’s what I would expect for something at its price point. The room was a little too warm, but that is preferable during the winter.
