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.).

KazakhstanI traveled with family (2 adults, 1 child) and we had a space with two separate beds. It was very comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and hearty. Host (Paul) was very hospitable and kind enough to drove me by his car at metro station during rain. A special thanks to Paul for keeping our bags while we were traveling in Busan

Cozy and clean place for a long stay. Nice attention to detail. Relaxed view of the garden. A nice and quiet area with villas, near the river and the national park. It is very convenient to get to the center by bus or metro. Extraordinary owner Paul, attentive, interesting, pleasant to communicate. Delicious breakfast every morning. Thank you very much. I will be happy to come back.

United KingdomFantastic accommodation at Puzzlestay, very highly recommended. Very welcoming, comfy bed, and super quiet at night, with a spacious communal guest area also. Definitely worth the subway trip to be further out of the city centre, for a restful night's sleep and nearer the fresh mountain air. Spotlessly clean throughout.

I absolutely love the homemade breakfast made by Paul and his wife every morning. Paul was kind enough to pick me up from the airport bus station late at night and offered me to leave the luggage after check out (I didn't notify him in advance). The neighborhood is fantastic the the Bukhansan is just 20 minutes walk away from the guesthouse.

GermanyThe only downside was the AC in our room, it was quite loud but we needed to keep it running because of the heatwave at the time of our stay.
It is a lovely guesthouse close to the Bukhansan Nationalpark. The owner was incredibly friendly and we got a delicious handmade breakfast. Everything is clean and comfortable, we had a wonderful stay - Thank you Paul :)

NetherlandsWe loved this place. Best place to stay off you visit Seoul. We felt so welcome and nothing is to much for the owner. The first night he walked with us to show which restaurants were open late. Every morning he served a wonderful breakfast. I am gluten intolerant so the bought special bread and cakes for me. When we left je carried my back all the way to the bus station. The bus and metro to go into the city are both nearby.

NetherlandsAbsolutely nothing! But I have one suggestion, to have it written in the room (I know everyone knows it but good to repeat…) for being environmentally conscious, please consider reusing towels and leave the air conditioning off whenever not necessary…
Everything was way above my expectations even though by reading previous comments i had already high expectations!. Paul is great and together with his wife they are very kind, nice and welcoming hosts. I could have not thought of one thing which was missing and hypothetically if there would have been something Paul (or his wife) would take care of it immediately. From the moment of arrival, when Paul picked me up by his car from nearby bus station to the moment that i left and both of them waved me farewell, all was at best!. The vale for money was excellent (I tried one or two other more expensive places in korea but definitely many many in Europe, possibly this was the best in that regard). Location was also excellent, I felt pity though that I didn’t manage to visit nearby mountain and National park(next time!). And not to forget, lovely homemade breakfasts (even the breads and yoghurts were home made).

I like everything. The house, the owner, the location, the breakfast, the room. The best part the WC come with bidet. Really thankful for that. The owner willingly to pick u up and drop u off to the nearest train station but let him know prior so he can prepare that for you. Love everything. The neighbourhood was quite and peaceful and if u got time u can go hiking at the nearby mountain like seriously close with the house.

Everything was absolutely amazing. Paul and his wife are very attentive and a pleasure to stay with. They took care of all our needs. I highly recommend to use the provided pick-up car from the subway station. It's an easy walk without luggage but with all your stuff it's a bit exhausting 😅 Breakfasts were absolutely lovely 😍 homemade bread and yoghurt were delicious.

At first we thought that this guest house was a bit far from the main sightseeing points of the city, but with the metrostation close by that was not really any issue. Highly recommend staying here when you visit Seoul. The breakfast was also included and amazing. Thank you so much Paul!
