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.).

United StatesNot much to not like. Some of the staff were a bit characterless, but I've come to expect that in Korea. The bathroom was pre-fabricated and small. We also had a minor problem finding the entrance to the hotel.
Our room, though small like most in Korea, was clean and quiet with a modern look and feel. The lobby, bar and breakfast area were on the 19th floor which provided nice views of the surrounding area including the Seoul Tower. The main benefit of Ibis Ambassador was to walk out of the hotel into the amazing Myeongdong neighborhood with incredible shopping and restaurants. Spend one night grazing on the upscale street food. I also recommend a night on the fried chicken street (Chir Chir Chicken was AWESOME), and lunch at the Michelin starred Myeongdong Kyoja. Metro to visit other parts of Seoul & Korea via train is a short walking distance, this is the place to stay.

AustraliaEasy access to myeongdong Street area, plenty of shopping. Nice stroll to cheonggyeong stream to access geobokgung palace, Gwanghwamun Square and other tourist sites. Use Uber or kakao taxi to grab a taxi to coex mall, lotte tower or lotte world. Close to seoyl train station if you want to be adventurous take ktx to other city's.

ItalyMaybe the fact that sometimes the room were very cold or very hot and maybe they should put more instruction how to use the controller. And then you should put more details and direction where is the reception.

IndiaStaff could be more courteous and flexible. When requested for water bottles at 10:30 in the night, we were told to wait till mid-night to get next day quota of water bottles. While checking out, could not find one room key, we were told to pay 10,000 KRW! However, ultimately it was waived off, not very pleasant experiences for the guests!
Excellent location right in the centre of Myeondong, next to best food street! Rooms and property are good.
