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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CroatiaAbsolutely amazing hostel. Stayed in a lot of hostels in Korea and this one is by far my favourite. The owner is super friendly, the beds are comfortable, everything is very clean. There is a kitchen area and the rooftop is a great place to hang out. It's very close to Hongdae so you don't have to worry about coming back home after a night out:)

GermanyThe breakfast only starts at 8am, what makes it almost impossible for early birds to have breakfast. Once I asked whether I could have it early and it was denied. That's a bit unfortunate, because for some days 8am is pretty late (at least for me). Additionally, especially towards the end (I stayed for almost 8 days) I would've needed some more support to organise my stuff and Dean wasn't that big of a help - not a big minus, but still a bot unfortunate considering him being incredible courteous in the beginning.
The hostel is really clean, cosy and there are a lot of social people around! Also dean, the host, was incredible friendly and helpful in the beginning! Additionally, the breakfast helps to get in touch with other people easily!

A near-perfect hostel. Great location. Perfectly clean. Free breakfast that doesn't end too early. Great shower stalls. Friendly environment (several of us went out together to eat). The owner really cares about the place and makes sure it's always running smoothly. Nice rooftop lounge.

CanadaMy room was the first one off the lobby and had basically no soundproofing so I got woken up every time someone came in late at night / early in the morning.
Very helpful staff, room was ok. Breakfast was fine. Very run-of-the-mill hostel.

Dean is an amazing host. It feels like you're staying in a home rather than a hostel. He puts a lot of care and attention into remembering names and making sure people's times here are pleasurable. Location is also right in the heart of Hongdae, if that's your kind of place to be.
