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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

CambodiaI didn’t like the dorm room I was in was small, and without an en-suite- compared to a different room I stayed in weeks earlier.
The guesthouse stored my luggage long term for a discounted fee, which was great. The rooms are cleaned regularly, shower get/shampoo etc are in every bathroom, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

AustraliaThe bathrooms weren’t the nicest to use
Stay here for the vibe, not the shared bathrooms. Good location less than 5 mins to the station in an interesting neighbourhood, helpful staff, and a very chill friendly place to stay. There were a lot of stairs, and staying in the four-person mixed dorms on the third floor, I sometimes had to wait for the bathroom which almost always had a wet floor. The beds each had an electrical outlet, small shelf, and useful little hooks. There is a small free breakfast and the room and bed were clean. Great common areas, love the rooftop.

AustraliaBathrooms were pretty bad. About a 3-story stair case climb off the street to get to the top level, which was where I stayed.
25M, 3 nights, 10-bed dorm. The hosts were very helpful. Rooftop was good when not raining. Very close to a very convenient 7/11. Downstairs common room was decent. Location quite good. Room was comfortable but air con could have been a tad more effective. Water bubblers on a couple of levels. Fridges on different levels was handy.

Spain- the free breakfast consists of coffee, tea, toast bread, jam and peanut butter. No healthy options such as eggs or fruits are available - there is no working space - the common are can easily get busy with people chatting so if you're coming for remote work it's not your place
This hostel is in the heart of Itaewon, close to the bars and restaurants but on a quieter street. It's social (you can meet other travellers in the check-in area or on the terrace but it's not a party place. Both Shrek and the girl working there are adorable and helpful. The dorms are cleaned daily and the guests are respectful.

FinlandThe location was a bit shady I did not feel very safe being a woman, and there was no elevator and many stairs to climb so if you have heavy suitcases I would not recommend this place. The guesthouse looked a bit rugged and spooky and felt like I was living in a prison cell. It was not my taste. If you are looking for a safe, comfortable, and quiet place I don't recommend this place.
The people were friendly and it was close to the metro station. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean.

AustraliaSocialising can be hit or miss, lots of social people at the hostel, but you had to be at the right place at the right time to find a group to go out with, not the biggest loss as Seoul is pretty easy/fun to navigate as a solo traveller.
Great location, close to the station, walking distance to all the bars/clubs in Itaewon. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Rooms were cleaned regularly, Towels were available daily on request. Owner recommended a fantastic restaurant on my last day that was possibly my favourite meal of my whole trip.

United KingdomThere is little social space at this hostel that is under cover, and the common area inside is small and doubles as the kitchen too.
The location of this property is great, and the rooftop is amazing for having a drink in the evening and meeting people. I had such a sociable time at this hostel and Itaewon is a great neighbourhood.

South KoreaThere was hair in the bedding from previous travellers, and the shared bathrooms consist of a single toilet and wet-room shower. 3/4 of us did not shower there, as the bathrooms had extensive black mould. We live in Korea, so we expect some mould, however, this was more than most of us felt comfortable with. Our floor had 4 bathrooms, to accommodate 4 rooms of 4 people each, along with travellers from a different floor - we were frequently waiting to use the bathroom.
Close to a lot of Itaewon hotspots, nice Korean staff, lots of facilities (eg laundry machines, breakfast, common area, rooftop). For a 4 person dormitory, we paid less than 50,000KRW per person - this was the cheapest for an overnight trip, and why we chose this property.

CanadaThere are quite a few outdoor stairs to go up to the hostel and a set to go back down to the main lobby. Stairs to get to second floor rooms were very narrow but doable. The breakfast was very basic, cereal, toast and juice options but better than nothing! Bathroom didn't have a separate shower it was all the same open area as the toilet. There was a shower head that came from the sink so the whole bathroom got wet when showing. There was a set of flip flops in the bathroom to keep your feet dry if you needed the bathroom after a shower.
Great price and location was good, near lots of bars and 5 minute walk from the subway station. Rooms were basic but all you need with a good sized locker. There are some outdoor lockers the reception will keep your stuff in before checkin or after checkout and it they are full they found room in the lobby area which was great.
