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 host is a very nice and helpful person and reserved a parking space just in front of the guest house for us. The rooms were clean, air conditioned, and the beds comfortable. The location is fine, close to the ferries, restaurants, etc. Very good value for money !
The rooms a quite small (no access on both sides of the double bed and the bathroom is also very small (shower, toilet etc in approx. 1m2). But practicable. It’s a guesthouse, with very reasonable price, so don’t expect a 5 stars suite, but enjoy the typically Korean atmosphere and the host explanations !

Verified reviewMr. Kim was so nice and explained everything very well. He even took little Polaroids to hang up, and one he gave to me as a souvenir. He also gave a fantastic restaurant as a recommendation, and a tour guide pamphlet. Absolutely wonderful vibe. And the guesthouse was also very cute.

Verified reviewThis gusthouse is very clean and comfortable. Our host, Mr. Kim was outstanding. We had to catch the 8:30 am ferry to Jeju Island with our folding bikes. As it was raining heavily in the morning, Mr. Kim very kindly drove us and our bikes to the ferry.

Verified reviewOur room was well equipped with a small fridge and a good air conditioning unit. Mr. Kim was extremely friendly and helpful, telling us about our room and our stay in general. He recommended a delicious restaurant, which he called the owners to let them know we were coming. I couldn't ask for a nicer host. He went above and beyond. He even drove us to the port for our ferry to Jeju the morning of our departure. Please consider booking a stay at 이학장 guesthouse. You won't be disappointed.
Just keep in mind it's an old building with steep stairs if that affects you, but I have nothing negative to say in general.

Verified reviewThe owner is absolutely delightful. He drove us to the Jeju ferry as it wasn't the one nearest to the guesthouse. He even offered to take us to the train station, too. Mr. Kim has been the loveliest host in our six week adventure around Korea. The location is excellent as it is a 15-minute walk to the train station, and we walked up Yudalsan from there.
This is noting to do with Mr. Kim, but we got confused with the Jeju Ferry. We assumed it would leave from the terminal, which is a 5-minute walk from the guest house, but it left from Samhak Terminal. It returned into the International Passenger Terminal, which is the closer Terminal to Leehakjang!! We were very confused, but Mr. Kim's kindness saved the day when he dropped us off at Samhak.

Verified reviewGuest house in a great location. Room very comfy and cosy with additional communal kitchen space. The highlight is the warm and very helpful Mr Kim , the guesthouse owner who very kindly made us an early breakfast and dropped us at the ferry.

Verified reviewWell located to visit Mokpo main sites and cute streets. There is a kitchen you can use if you want to cook (and the owner prepares breakfast there for you). Overall the place is nice and feels home. The owner very nicely offered to drive us to the ferry terminal (the ferry to Jeju sets off from a terminal afar, not from one of the terminals right next to the guesthouse). He is very much into collecting Polaroids of all his guests so be prepared to spend 15 min of your morning for the Polaroid routine :-) (or be prepared to telling him you don't want to do it).
The room but moreover the bathroom were really small. The bathroom felt claustrophobic. The beds are comfortable but it was super hot inside the room and we had no way of regulating the temperature. We realised it too late to be able to ask the owner to cut the heating, as a result we didn't sleep well (we opened the window but then it was loud and also too cold for the person right below the window). The breakfast is included but it was slightly odd as the owner toasted bread for us (even if we didn't want that much bread) and the coffee was really bad (coffee machine with filter but super few spoons of coffee so was super clear and tasted like nothing). Although we appreciate the owner's kindness, we would have preferred to prepare our own breakfast. Also there were no cereals, just bread and "butter" (it's margarine, the same they have in all the guesthouses, not quality butter) and strawberry jam, but there are eggs (a plus VS other guesthouses if you like having a fried egg in the morning, but it wasn't our case that day).

Verified reviewMr Lee is incredibly generous, well-organised and kind. He really made our visit special. He made sure we arrived and departed safely and comfortably, and he was always ready to help with anything we needed.
The room is a little small, but for 1 night it really didn't matter. Seeing as the price is not high at all, you really get more than you pay for.

Verified reviewThe boss Mr Kim could not have been more helpful. We had made a train booking mistake, and if it wasn't for his research etc. We would have missed our flights to Jeju Island. He also was so helpful in other areas as well, such a as restaurants and sightseeing. The proximity of the guest house to the ferry terminal is only a couple of minutes walk , and we are in our 70's.

Verified reviewVery cozy with a great host. Great location and price. Highly recommend
The shower in our room was a bit cold (we went in winter) & it was a bit small for my elderly parents to comfortably move around.
You are using a large capacity water heater and it seems that you have operated the valve incorrectly. We apologize for the inconvenience.
