How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGood location being near bus stops and the subway station right at the corner of the street to the hotel. The room was clean, sufficient size for two people (stayed in the twin room without a kitchenette). The staff were lovely and answered all our questions about transport and food delivery options to the hotel. We were put on the 11th floor so we got a decent window view of the neighourbood and city
While the entire room and bathroom was clean, but we did notice a slightly odd smell at different intervals of the day from the bathroom, perhaps coming from a drainage? It wasn't a huge bother though, aside from this, no other complaints!
Thank you for your detailed review. We're happy to hear that you appreciated our convenient location, clean room, and the helpful responses from our staff.

We’ll continue working to improve all aspects of the guest experience. We look forward to welcoming you again! From GM, Din Lee

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly and polite and helped us figure out the bus back to the airport. The view from the 16th floor of the hotel overlooking Seoul was incredible. The room was also very comfortable and had a lot of good amenities.
Overall, our stay was overwhelmingly positive. The only thing that could of been a little better was the laundry room was small and would it have been more convenient if it was bigger.
Thank you so much! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the stunning view from our 16th floor, the clean and comfortable room, and the courteous assistance from our staff—especially in helping you find the airport bus. We’re glad your stay was a positive one overall. We also appreciate your feedback on the laundry room size and will keep it in mind for future improvements.

Verified reviewWe tried so hard to look for a place that met our expectations. If we came back to korea we'd stay here again. Location: Great! So many bus stops, one right outside the hotel too, and the subway is a 2min walk away. You can also get an airport limousine bus direct to and from the hotel location. Partying: Not in this area, but your about 30mins away from Itaewon and can get straight night buses back. We took one at 2am. Hongdae is further away but that was fine with us. Food: So many options closeby! We were always fine. There's also a cafe that you can get discounted rates at if you're a hotel guest. We enjoyed that. Room: The bed was super comfy and they cleaned the rooms and gave us bottled water everyday. Staff: Always friendly and willing to help. Bathroom: Amazing! Rooms have a bidet and the shower is separate from the toilet so everything stays dry. This was a non-negotiable for us. Again, I'd recommend this hotel and will stay again if I'm back in Seoul!
Nothing.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re truly happy to hear that our location, room comfort, cleanliness, and especially our staff made a positive impression on your stay. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the convenience of nearby public transport, dining options, and our partnered café. We're also glad the bidet and separated bathroom layout met your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we would love to welcome you back if you return to Seoul! From GM, Din Lee

The room is clean and filtered water is provided next to the laundry facility. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Twosome place coffee is in the lobby.
If you book the residence rooms with mini kitchen, the refrigerator is only for beverages. Storing food to cook is not possible. Laundry facilities are limited - 2 washers and 2 dryers for the entire hotel. Fitness area is very small as well.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed our location, clean rooms, and helpful staff.

What we didn’t like… The breakfast menu, it is the same everyday. We stayed in the hotel for 5days and the menu are the same.

Verified reviewEasy access to transportation, airport limousine bus, convenient store and restaurants. The rooms were clean and had a good scent everytime we come in. I really like the size of the room. It was easy to open two big luggages and pack things when we are about to leave. And I really appreciate the bidet on our bathroom.
I just wish there was water dispenser in every floor. It was only on 2nd floor, but no big deal. Loved everything about this hotel.
