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 reviewVery spacious and located near transit
Something was off. Looked better in pictures but in person the space was worn and not very well maintained. Ripped furniture, dirty wallpaper in hallway, very few amenities and a thick blackout curtain that didn’t open fully. View was advertised but the window opened up to a backside of a building. Booking.com price also seemed higher than what’s listed elsewhere online.

Your feedback regarding torn furniture, wallpaper, limited amenities, and blackout curtains has been shared with our team for immediate inspection and improvement.

Verified reviewThe fitting of the rooms was really luxurious. There were nice touches like a radio, a rainshower/bath, and a window room which were not advertised in the photos
If anything it was only the small thing of not having a waste disposal in the food eating area which guests could access but other than that, it was a pretty positive stay!
Thank you for your kind review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the luxurious room fittings and the special touches like the radio, rain shower, and window room. We also appreciate your feedback about the waste disposal, and we’ll consider improvements. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

Verified reviewThe room was an odd shape that went downwards but was cool- photos from a different hotel are posted please ignore those
I booked this hotel because it had pictures of a hot tub/spa and said they had one at the property but that is a lie it’s only for the penthouse room. Super lame.

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel with up-to-date facilities although no breakfast. Everything you need is in there. Very modern and nicely decorated. Lobby a little dark as first impression due to black paint but it gives a romantic vibe. Location near Seoul edu university, cafes and restaurants. Around 5-10mins walk to nearest metro nambu bus terminal. Free system based parking.
Sound proofing - heard some "noises" quite late at night probably the customer forgot to close the windows 😆. Also can hear heavy footsteps people walking occasionally from above.
Hello, I'm proud that you were satisfied with our hotel. We will always provide constant service and comfortable accommodation. We will take care of the soundproof feedback as much as possible. Thank you, and have a nice day.

Verified reviewGood location
The bathroom design is too dangerous ⚠️ Because the bathroom is hollowed out downward, it needs to take two steps of stairs, and the bathroom is very slippery when it comes to water. So it is very easy to slip and fall down the stairs. Even if you are very careful, I broke my arm while taking a bath and kept bleeding 🩸 If I fell on my head, the consequences would be unimaginable! It was a very bad hotel experience for me.
