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 reviewThe hotel itself is right in the middle of Myeongdong. The price was ok for the location.
The bed and towels had stains on them. The room was very small. Had a view of the wall of the building opposite us. Bathroom was very weird. Shower was over the sink. The WiFi was not great it kept cutting off so data was used.
Thank you for staying at The Stay Hotel. We will try to provide better service. Thank you for your review

there was BUGS and it was very itchy but staff did nothing. I don’t want to recommend everyone to stay here. I asked staff to cancel reservations and get refund as our condition was getting worse but staff seems so sleepy and has no energy. He woke up from the room and there was no talk.

Verified reviewIt’s near to a lot of shops. That’s just about the good thing there.
Sent a direct message to the property that I’ve got severe asthma and allergies. Told them that I would appreciate if they cleaned up the room before my arrival. Because upon booking the hotel then I saw all the bad reviews which was strange. Tried to cancel it but albeit, it’s non refundable so alright. Told them about it but not surprisingly the room was a disaster. The floors were disgusting. The bed was way worst. Hair still on the bed, stains, used toilet paper. Just nasty.
Thank you for staying at The Stay Hotel. We will try to provide better service. Thank you for your review.

Verified reviewGood location
Soundproof is really bad. I was assigned to the 4th floor and I could clearly hear a group of people chatting in the corridor at 2am. Same for the morning, people walking and talking easily woke me up.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank u for your review.

Verified reviewOnly the location, 12 storeys Daiso building and Kim Seri halal restaurant are nearby. Bathroom serves the function regardless the price.
I wonder if there's any cleaning checklist for the cleaner. During our last 3 days, they didn't provide us the toiletries at all. In more than 2 occasions, I had to ask for the bottled water. Once, we found our door was not locked, shocking luckily nothing was stolen. It was very careless of the cleaner. I had to inform both receptionist and the cleaner to remember to lock the door after cleaning. They didn't even apologise for this.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank u for your review.

Verified reviewLocation. Right within Myeongdong shopping district.
The room is too small. We booked a twin room but was given a studio room that we could only open 1 luggage at a time. Water and toilette were not replenished every housekeeping and it was very dirty under the bed. Toilet is very small, there’s also bathing and basin is in the same place, and the bidet’s is just beside.
I'm so sorry about that. Thank you for your review.

Verified reviewClose proximity to Myeongdong night market, and good restaurants.
We booked two double bedrooms, but only given one bathrobe, can’t fit the 24” luggage, no teaspoon and no tea/coffee sachets. For one of our rooms for the last stay, water dripping from the ceiling.
Thank you for your review. We will make efforts improve to service.
