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.).

I liked the location. It was close to a few bus and subway lines. There’s also a nice kitchen. The place was clean.

The table and chairs in dining could have been a bit more comfortable and overflow of the fridge.
The cleanliness, the staff,and most of the guests were cool.Housekeeping around the clock.Near facilities and transit.Secure rooms and areas. And available washer and dryer l.Well maintained grounds,kitchen,and conditions of the rooms especially bathrooms.James the owner I happened to meet on the way out was cool.

There was a lot of local people. I felt like I am living in their house. The water pressure was bad in the shower. Although that looks like more of the whole US’s problem.
It was at a good location.

I stayed in an all female room which I definitely recommend because some of the guests that were in the mixed or male dorms looked quite sketchy to say the least so I didn't feel that comfortable in the shared areas, but felt safe and comfortable in my room
The area is nice and safe, the hostel looks nice and clean, it has lockers in the bedrooms, a kitchen and also mini friges in the rooms. I liked that the room had a private bathroom separate from the shared ones with all the other guests, felt more private and cleaner.

Wifi was out because of the IT shortage It would be nice to have a detachable shower head and curtains around the beds
Owner was accommodating, whole hostel was clean and it was nice having bathrooms inside the rooms as well as extra ones outside. The location is just a few minutes walk from lots of restaurants in Koreatown and there are several bus stops nearby. Price was reasonable, other guests were nice and clean, cleaners were efficient and friendly. I would stay here again.

there are more long term American boarders staying here than travellers but that was OK. the shared bathrooms are always occupied during the mornings. if you had any questions about LA there was no staff to ask but you could ask the boarders, so you need to be independent if you are staying here.
it was easy to access the bus to get around LA from this place. James the owner communicated well and provided instructions (make sure you have access to a mobile phone in the US) and was able to answer questions fairly quickly. the other boarders at this place were generally quite friendly and well behaved. the place is kept decently clean by the hardworking cleaners. the house is quite nice and the neighbourhood is very safe and quiet. good value for money.

My bedroom was between the kitchen, the bathroom and the washing machines. No need to say that nights were very short. People cooking at 1am, staff working at 7am.... Unable to set the noisy and cold AC. No lockers.

Not a hostel that you’d meet people, I prefer hostels that are reserved for tourists only - this one seemed to have LA residents that just wanted a cheap nights accomodation/shower ://
Great value for money in LA, easy access to metro system and fairly safe area for travellers. Glad we got the private 2 bed bunk room.
