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.).

ItalyThe location was exceptional. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even contacting me before my arrival to make sure I arrived in time to check in. The room was very comfortable and clean, with everything that I needed.

United KingdomBathroom towels they provide are minuscule, although they do the job.
Next to a temple, so I had an amazing view from my room. Even though they provided ear plugs in case you're bothered by the morning service I only heard very faint noises on a Sunday morning, and it was actually pleasant to wake up to them. The room is rather small, but you don't really feel it because of the way it's arranged. I loved sleeping "upstairs", and the little "downstairs" nook for watching TV was simply perfect. Also, I found the bathroom to be rather spacious, compared to other places in SK. It's walking distance from one of the palaces, and there's restaurants all around. It's also next to an area where lots of Koreans come out in the evenings to socialise/eat, so make sure to walk around and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Perfect value for money!

United StatesThere is no bath towel included with the room. I’m not sure if that helps them keep prices low (?), but it is a little detail that would really put this hotel over the top. Additionally, I wish the hours of the top floor comment area were a little bit more extended. I also don’t really think I would stay in this area again if I return to Seoul, but that is my choice, not a fault of the property.
The hotel is absolutely adorable and has a number of great amenities for the low price. It is quiet, cozy, and clean. The room itself was super cute and cozy and had plenty of space for just one person.

CanadaNo place to sit other than the bed and one stool. But that’s because the room is small. Front desk hours are limited on weekends, again because it’s a small operation.
The location is very close to the Changdoekgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. Rooms are small and the shower is in the middle of the bathroom, but it’s clean and quiet. The Tong Tong crew was exceptional in helping us find an ATM for international bank cards and advised us on the best way to get to Gyeongju by bus on a very busy holiday when trains were full. Really appreciate their extremely helpful attitude and perfect English from a charming crew member.

NetherlandsIt’s not so much a “didn’t like” but the shower takes some getting used to as a western person! Just a little heads up.
The rooms are cute and functional, the rooftop and basement lounge are an absolute bonus and the communication and staff are exceptional. 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back one day.

SpainYou can reach the hotel through a “main” street or through an alley. If you use Naver, it will suggest you go through the alley (one minute shorter). But I would avoid this option at night.
The location is the BEST! Close to a metro station with many connections. If you prefer walking, is conveniently situated between the main two palaces, close to Ikseondong and Insadong, and not even that far from Cheonggyecheon stream or Myeongdong. The atmosphere is lively at night too. It’s a perfect little hotel for solo travellers.

AustraliaBeds were very firm for western backs. Ask for a room on a higher floor, as lower floors get affected by neighbouring buildings light pollution. Hotel could consider black out blinds. Duplex rooms (bed above the sitting space) requires a bit a physical effort to get into.
Great location, close to many historical tourist attractions, subway, districts of Insadong & Buchon Hanok. All you need in a petite package.

United StatesThe bathroom in my room did not have a separate shower space which made it a little awkward to take a comfortable shower, which was my only slight inconvenience during my stay.
Great location with easy access to subways and the ikseon-dong area. Good value for the size and cleanliness of the room. Staff was friendly and professional, and communicating with the staff via kakaotalk was very convenient.

GermanyThere’s nothing I didn‘t like about the accommodation, only both google maps and naver map seemed confused, so taxi drivers had a hard time finding the place.
Excellent location if you want to explore the Jongno-gu / Bukchon area, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good coffee and muffins 🙂. And the room (I had a single maisonette), although small, is very cleverly furnished and organised, as is the entire hotel. As the name says, it‘s „petit“, so do not expect much space, but it‘s cozy and comes at a fair price. It‘s not „posh“ in the conventional way but has style, charm and a personal touch.

United StatesFor the shower, they provide you small towels daily so if you want a normal bath towel then bring your own.
The location is pretty convenient, you have access to multiple lines and close to Seoul station. It's also walking distance from insadong area which has a ton of cute cafes and shops. The room itself was pretty roomy and clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. I think value wise this is a great hotel for what you're getting.

DenmarkThe shower facilities was not the best I have experienced, as the whole bathroom would get wet after each shower, and there was very limited spaces between between the sink and the wall to stand and shower (the sink and shower is connected). The towels are moreover very small. They were barely big enough to put around my hair. Even though this is the case, I would still consider booking a room here again, as the remaining facilities was good.
The location is good, the facilities in the room are nice, and there is everything you need. I was not able to hear guests in other rooms, and barely hear people in the hall way, which was nice. I felt very safe in the room as a female solo traveler.
