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...).

BrazilIt is not a problem, but the common area is in the rooftop and the wind is strong. In cold days it is more difficult to meet people because of that, but you can do it in the kitchen.
The staff is great and they have a nice kitchen. Recommend it.

PhilippinesNot so much. But if you are expecting there’s an elevator for your luggage, there is no elevator. 3rd floor is for private rooms & 2nd floor for common room & dorm room
The location is near subway station (Ttukseom, 3mins & Seoul Forest Station,5 mins) & about 10-15 mins walk from the airport limousine bus stop..

BulgariaThe only thing that I didn't like was that there were no windows in the room. In the morning it's very dark because there is no natural light coming and you have no idea what time it is. It is a minor inconvenience.
The owner of the hostel was very nice and ready to answer all of our questions. He helped us with our luggage and provided directions to the airport. The room was bigger than most in Seoul, the bathroom was great and the room had an entrance area where you can leave your shoes. The location is close to the center and there are 2 subway stations that you can use. We loved the park and how close it is to the river and there were nice restaurants and cafes all around us.

ItalyIt would be a good idea to put a little closet in the room where you can put your clothes and other stuff, where it is possible obviously.
The guesthouse is pretty close to 2 subway stations, in front of it you have a supermarket and a lot of restaurants. You can easily go to take a walk to the Seoul forest which is beautiful. Richard was very kind and helpful, if you need something he'll help you, he is also very funny ^^. I had a private single room with a private bathroom and it was all very clean.The mattress of the bed was new so it was very comfortable to sleep. For my next trip to Seoul I'll for sure come again :) . All the long way from Italy 🇮🇹 and it was a very comfortable holiday, thank you 😊.
