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 reviewVery good location for travellers, near the intercity bus terminal, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Free simple breakfast.Comfy bed. Generally good for a one night stay.
Rooms too tiny for longer stays (we stayed 6 nights), no space to put your clothes or unpack your luggage even a bit. Loud music in the night from some establishment nearby. Although the bed sheets seem washed, they have visible stains, and the room is not cleaned very thoroughly between guests. The bathroom was clean. We had bad experience with one staff member, who laughted us off when we brought a stained pillow case on the first day. He didn't see the stains in the dim light at the reception desk. We asked for a replacement and he gave us a new pullow case, which later also turned out to have stains (but we did not want to go back and complain again, at least we knew it was fresh from wash). The same man was at the reception when we clogged the toilet and we came for help. We were very embarrassed and apologetic. He lectured us that we should not put any "things" in the toilet (We did not. Toilets in Korea just easily clog up) but he did not offer any solution, just continued scolding us. When we asked what can be done about the clogged toilet, he made it very obvious that it was a huge problem for him, that he would have to call the cleaners. Rude and unprofessional handling of the situation. We were already embarrassed and he just made us more uncomfortable. We were later stressed each time we needed to use the toilet for the rest of our stay. We have stayed in many hotels in Korea, also in the same price bracket, and we have never had such issues.

Verified reviewThe room is compact but there is enough room to open up luggage. There is a massive TV in the room and two gaming computers for those who like that kind of stuff. The bed was very comfortable and the staff spoke exceptional English which was helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay which was nice and close to the main bus terminal in Wonju.
The first room we stayed in had a strong smell of smoke, I let the manager know and he unfortunately couldn’t move us until the next day. He kindly let us pick the second room, which was much better. We were there for 4 nights total so it was worth moving rooms.

Verified reviewLocation : It is near Wonju Bus Terminal. Only a 6 minute walk away. Food Options nearby : Many food options are just across the street. Room : Room is spacious, clean and beautiful. I especially love the fact that there is a clear segregation of space between the place you take off your shoes before you step up to enter the room. Amenities : There are full amenities including sanitised bath robe. For ladies, there is a hair-flattening iron too. Staff : Staff are friendly and helpful. Can speak basic English. They are kind enough to allow me to do an early check-in. So I could rest in the room the moment I arrived. Also, they kindly upgraded my room.
It would be good if the room could provide a bigger dustbin.
