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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

As soon as I stepped inside, I felt like being at home . I loved every single detail. The hostel is very clean and Yoo is very nice and friendly. He gave me a warm welcome and explained everything about what to do and where to eat. Plus, the hostel is near to the terminal station.

Nothing, I was really satisfied!
Owner was very helpful with a ton of good suggestions for food (I was satisfied with all those I tried) and general trip-planning. Facilities were good, I particularly enjoyed that you have access to a washing machine AND dryer (most hostels in SK have you air-dry your stuff). Globally a very good experience.

I cannot find anything to comment on in terms of accommodation, location or hospitality, but perhaps I can recommend an improvement to the WiFi speeds as it was rather slow at the time we were there.
Our stay was really comfortable, hospitable and well worth every penny. The owner was a charm, explaining in detail highlights of the national park nearby, the restaurants in the area and other landmarks to visit. It was enjoyable to meet other like-minded travellers who made our stay even better.

The recepcionist Yoo is a charming, warm and helpful person. The hostel belongs to the cozy, comfort places with good location- ideal for the conquest of the Seoroksan National Park. I definitely recommend this accomodation, I would choose it once again. Greetings for nice and interesting people met in the hostel- from Belgium, Philippines and Israel.

Yoo was really helpful and gave us all the info for our day trip to Seoraksan ! The room was clean and the bathroom was spacious and nice. The communal room is cozy. One of the two bus terminals of Sokcho is just 5mn away on foot We were also able to do an early check-in, thanks a lot for that !
