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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

CroatiaWhat was really annoying was the automatic hall light. The room is small so it would turn on even when i moved in the bed. And would wake us up. They really need to do something about it.
For that price, this is great. Even the breakfast had some selection, like eggs, fruits, tomatoes.

NetherlandsThe shower drain was in the middle of the bathroom, which made it kind of hard to take a shower without flooding the bathroom.
The dorm was really clean and modern, unlike most dorms I've seen. The bed was really big and comfortable. The kitchen looked really nice as well.

GermanyI would've loved a little better explanations from the staff, e.g. breakfast times, etc. They barely spoke (to me) which seemed very distanced and not that welcoming. This was the only minor issue I had felt.
Checking in and out was very uncomplicated and quick, I loved that you could leave your luggage there without any hassle. The bed was very spacious and the room itself clean and cute.

JapanThe rooms are very cramped and there is no room to put any bags, which when you have four people in a room means I had to put my bag in the corridor.
Very clean and modern hostel. Good facilities and the location is amazing.

TurkeyThe entrance has a lot of stairs. So you might need some help for your luggage’s. You can left your luggage before the check in but no early check in. I stayed with 3 people it was really fun but the room is not big enough for your packs or luggages.
I really like the atmosphere in this place. So fresh, so clean, minimalistic and useful. People left so many memories in there. There is a nice breakfast and an area that you can cook your own meal. Always fresh water. You just can fill your bottle up. Location is incredible. Close to the main historical areas and parks and bus stops. You can even go the far places easily. There is a bus which is directly go to the station. You have a chance to meet different people which all of them are traveling like you.

RomaniaThe room is a bit too small for 4 people, there’s almost no leg room and our luggages took a lot of the place. Other than that everything was super!
Nice and tidy room with a pretty big bed. Shared bathroom was very nice and had all the amenities. Washing machine and dryer were free to use. The shared rooms were very nice and had sockets all over. The stay is on the other side of the tombs but is just walking distance from the tourist area and very close to the bus station. Good communication with the host :)

Perfect location to see the historical sites. We liked being able to leave our bags before check in. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. We only stayed 1 night but would have liked to stay more if we had the time.

MalaysiaDid not see any house slippers provided, so to go out to the lounge for breakfast, had to put on shoes. Not sure when the cleaning/housekeeping was done, we had to ask for toilet paper to be restocked and also the shower cream to be refilled.
Location is great, very near to the attractions and also within the city's shopping district. The dorm was nice, only 4 persons. A bit cramped with no floor space for bags, but okay for a short stay. Bathroom was good and clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, self-service. Common areas were clean and more spacious compared to other hostels I have been to.

I loved how close it was to a lot of places I had on my itinerary I took forever to build. The hosts were very helpful despite our language barriers- it is a pity I don’t know much Korean- google translate is my best friend. They arranged a cab back to the station for me - which was extremely helpful with my multiple luggage issue nearing the end of my journey for a month in Japan & South Korea. It is a very convenient location & the room was great- I wish I was there longer- I would have used that clothing steamer (LG) for my dress & had a nice dinner out. The wine/bar fridge was also super nice- but yes a little noisy- what fridge isn’t? The TV was nice. I really have nothing negative to say- it was clean, comfortable, quiet & just what I needed :) I would recommend this place for a great stay in Gyeongju - which I wish I had more time bc there is so many historical sites to see.
