Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

It's very close to the Hongdae entrance area, and there are restaurants and things to do in front of the hostel, so it's convenient to hang out, especially shopping! The room is clean and the host is very friendly and helped me a lot during my stay. I would definitely stay here again when I come to Korea. I highly recommend it.

I visited again because I had a great experience staying before! It's really convenient because there's an accommodation right in front of Hongik University Station! I can see all the shopping streets and restaurants at once. The bed was soft and Host prepared a foot massage, so I was able to relax after the trip. The host is really kind and responds quickly. I strongly recommend that you want to come again next time you visit Korea.❤️

RussiaThe amenities listed included a washing machine, but for some reason it wasn't working when we checked in and we were advised to use the public laundries. Otherwise, everything was great.
Comfortable and well-designed apartment with a great location. Check-in and check-out were completely remote without the owner, but it did not interfere with our stay. Detailed instructions were provided inside with answers to all possible questions. Compared to other places to stay in Korea, I liked the bathroom here, as this is one of the few apartments and hotels that have a door between the shower stall and the sink and toilet. Most other places had problems with water splashing everywhere due to the lack of such a door.

TaiwanThe only tiny little thing that might be concerned is that the noise outside is a little bit loud at night. You can probably prepare some earplugs. That would help.
The spot is absolutely great. There is a railway station right next to the apartment and it is totally convenient to grab some food around or do some shopping.

SingaporeBath towel provided is face towel sized. Owner provided a lot so not a big problem. Washer doesn’t come with dryer function. Owner provided a drying rack. There’s a coin-operated laundromat just across the back of the building if need to do major washing. Daily cleaning is upon request for a fee. But there are appropriate cleaning equipment provided if need to do self-cleaning.
Location was perfect; just directly above the train station. Well-equipped. Owner looked into details like providing water dispenser, home decorations, microwave, snacks etc. Felt like home. Owner was very responsive to queries.

Hong Kong1. The TV has no signal and cannot watch TV programs. 2. The shower room is relatively narrow, but it is acceptable. It is recommended to set up a shelf on the sink, which can be used to put facial cleansers. 3. There should be some tablecloths in the kitchen, so that there is no waste of paper towels or wet wipes to wipe the table.
The location is really convenient, just next to Exit 1 of Hongik Univ. Station

South KoreaProbably just there's no bidet. ^^ I gave a 9/10 because of this haha. If there's a bidet, it's 10/10 for sure. :)
The room was exactly as in the photos and feels cozy. It was also big enough/spacious. The price is reasonable because: 1. The area is in Hongdae. When you go down, you're already at Exit 1 of Hongdae Station. 2. The room has everything you need (except bidet). You have drinking water, you can cook and eat meals, and you can wash your clothes. I'm satisfied just with this alone. The host is very responsive and kind. There was actually an incident but was quickly resolved by the host. When we arrived at our room, we weren't able to enter due to invalid password. Turns out it was just because the door lock was kinda old. The host kept assuring us that help is on the way and was very quick to solve the problem. They called a repairman and door lock was replaced with brand new. They refunded us our night stay because of the inconvenience, and they even treated us dinner with chicken and tteokbokki~ 😊 Also, the view is niceee. I can see Hongdae street from my room.
