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 reviewThe house is very authentic and beautiful. During the summer it's very nice to have a private court to stay / eat outside. We had a very good time there and it's very close to the imperial palace.

Verified reviewThe charming hanok is on a quiet lane but touristy neighborhood. The court yard is so cool. Owner has put in a lot of effort in its decorations and one can't help but want to return to stay in another season :) The owner was very responsive in addressing our concerns. We really appreciate it. Thumbs up for that!👍🏻
There is a 11 min walking distance to Anguk train station which includes steep slopes. Those with young kids and prams may need to consider. Hanok is very cosy and may be abit small for bigger size guests.

Verified reviewWe wanted to experience accommodation that was of a traditional style but with slightly thicker mattresses. Good mix of traditional and modern. Delightful and unexpected welcome treat upon arrival, nice personal touch which was appreciated. Great location. Spotlessly clean and nicely decorated.
The premises were a bit smaller than we had anticipated and we were unable to utilise the courtyard because of bad weather.

Verified reviewWe regretted staying at this location for only two nights. We would have liked to stay more in this wonderful house! It is a cozy place to stay. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal. There are lots of cafes and stores around. It's very quiet outside in the evenings, so you forget you're in a big city. We would love to come back here.
Nothing. It was our best location in Seoul.

Verified reviewBooked a stay here for the family, it was such a lovely stay. So conveniently located near shops, eateries and even the major palaces, yet it is tucked in a quiet little alley which allows for a good rest. Very well furnished with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Host was so helpful too.

Verified reviewBeautiful traditional stay in Bukchon area. The heated floors were a dream while visiting in the winter and the host provided traditional snacks upon arrival. The courtyard was perfect for relaxing and we only wish we visited when the outdoor hot bath was available.
Wish we could’ve had a hot soak in the winter, would’ve been truly magical.

Verified reviewThe place is nice, heated floor for winter is nice and comfortable. Clean.
Maybe due to language barrier, communication break down that we only get one bed room set up while we wanted two.. also , staff who replying the messages, at first say can store luggage till 1pm, but wanted us to check out 11am and leave the key... so we won't be able to access the luggage at 1pm then ask us to come back at 12pm to collect ....

Verified reviewLocation is perfect, on the doorstep of great shops, cafes and restaurants. Really sweet owners who communicated and tried to accommodate our needs. Property was well heated and very clean.
No real beds. Being westerners and older we just couldn’t get comfortable on the floor mattresses and also having no where to sit except the floor.
