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'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):
- 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...).

If you’re parking, there’s a fancy stacking park lift that only hotel staff can operate. Cool, but a bit inconvenient if you need to drive out at short notice.
Our room was super new, modern, clean, comfortable and had a great view and excellent bathroom. Great rooftop area and amazing views of the city.

We had to leave quite early to catch the 5.25 am train to Seoul. At the reception desk we asked the guy to order a taxi and he denied to do so because of the early our. Only after we insisted he did and the cab arrived within 2 minutes. Unacceptable. The breakfast offered on a display at the reception desk wasn`t available, the girl in charge in the restaurant on the second floor told us that there wasn`t any food available. Poor.
The room is quite comfortable, the bathroom well big enough and equipped with a wonderful shower

The heater was a bit warm at times and even to the lowest temperature it could be a bit warm and we needed to open the window for some cool air.
The room was awesome and it was big. The TV had Netflix too and even had a very comfortable couch. It was such a nice stay!

We enjoyed the breakfast, but think it could have been a little less pricey (14,000 won per person is a bit steep). Perhaps they could give one meal free, especially for long-term stays, or a discount package of some sort. The room was a little too warm at night, but that's an issue with most Korean hotels in the winter.
The hotel room was very comfortable and spacey enough for us, and was cleaned every day while we toured the city. I especially appreciated the staff's help with printing a simple document, and they were very welcoming in general. The beds were nice and puffy and provided a good sleep.

I found it was not a good idea to schedule your trip according to bus time table. It’s probably because of covid.

The quality of the toothbrush was a little bit poor. We found some hairs on the bedsheet. Seems very cautious at the check-in for people who book with a foreigner name.
The location is very good!

Nothing, it was a very nice stay.
We stopped for a night in Gangneung to then take a train to visit the Sangwonsa Temple. The nice part of the city is the coast line, in particular Coffee Street if you are a coffee lover, where you can find lots of very nice coffee places. The hotel is nice and has a nice breakfast room, furnished with lot of bookshelves around you, and with very good quality food. The staff is superfriendly and helpful.
