Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

JapanNothing special. I had a little difficulty to find the location of the GH.
I could meet some friendly guests and enjoy talking with them at the GH. Breakfast was good enough.

SingaporeNothing that I can think of...
Having stayed at a few hostels during my 15-day trip in Korea, I can say that this place had pretty much everything that you want (except a bidet toilet haha). Staff - Dean (the owner) is friendly and around most of the time and check-in/out was easy. Facilities - everything worked well and I liked little details such as the shower room had a ledge for you to put your clothes (a simple detail that was surprisingly lacking in some hostels) and I also saw a nail clipper that seems to be provided because it was in the living room for a few days. I also made good use of the multiple charging cables in the living room as I could charge my phone, power bank, and iPad at the same time. Cleanliness - the apartment, room, and toilets were all immaculately clean. Comfort - the bed was very comfortable and there were no windows in the room (which may be a minus point for some though) so I was able to sleep through comfortably even till 9+ (in most other hostels I might be woken up at about 6/7+ am cos the sun rises early at this time of the year). Location - it's about 7 minutes walk to the subway (Line 2 - Hongik University) and the many eateries in Hongdae area so it's very convenient.

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.

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.
