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.).

DenmarkThe hostel is located at Sinchon. Just few mins walk to the Main Street. The environment is is perfect for my vacation. It’s convenient but very quiet and safe neighborhood. Richard is super friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome and like a big brother. I had a great time with OPPA Hostel and highly recommended whenever you come visit South Korea. The hostel is very clean and tidy. I slept so well and didn’t have any problems with checking in and out. It’s just great!!! 오빠 감사합니다 🫰

BelgiumI didn't find the remote of the airconditioning/heater or how to operate it but the room still warmed up in the evening when closing the window. When you do not see the owner when checking in or checking out, you just need to send him a WhatsApp message.
The direct surroundings of the where quiet and thus good for sleeping but you just needed to take a few streets to be in a more lively neighbourhood with restaurants etc. The room was very good, you have a private bathroom and the bed was soft. Extra info for travellers: Before coming to Korea, please install a Korean navigation app since Maps doesn't work properly. You can also buy a sim/esim at the airport with a card that can be used for the bus (not the airport expres bus) and subway.

The room was clean and the newly purchased bed was very comfortable. The staff always solves problems through messages. And staff can speak many languages. There is a free tourist map at the back entrance on the first floor.

Saudi Arabiathe room is relatively big, private toilet, with all the essentials, rooms are upstairs but Richard was very kind and he helped me carry my heavy luggage to my room, my room had a little cute window which was very nice and I enjoyed the sun light it gave, room is tidy and very clean, hotel is 4 minute walk from the station, and 2 streets away from a very busy area that becomes very crowded during evening lots of activity and stores to enjoy, at night it is quiet and I had no problem with falling asleep Extra points to Richard for being the nicest host you could possibly meet, he speaks English well which made conversation and check-in / out process very fast and easy Definitely value for the price, I’ll stay again when visiting Seoul in the future

DenmarkThe hostel that’s in a great area with plenty of food options and shopping street. Right next to the Sinchon subway stop and airport bus stop. The room I stayed in felt like a hotel room since it was so well maintained, and had everything I needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. Wifi signal is enough. Big screen TV and can use YOUTUBE. Richard, the host, was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for hotel quality but at a hostel price. Amazing place.

United StatesWifi was very slow from our room. Maybe it was just in our floor/bedroom, but we relied more on mobile data than wifi.
Has all the basic amenities you need, and good value for the price. The highlight was Richard, who will do anything to make you feel comfortable. He helped us manage a situation with our next hotel, so he's someone you can count on.

The location of the hostel was pretty ideal, as its very close to sinchon station, convenience stores, cafes, kinkos, yeonsei university, etc. If you lose your phone charger and need one at 2am like me, the convenience store is pretty much right outside the hostel.
