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):
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.).

IrelandNot a negative for us, but you can see from reviews and photos that there are futons. Don’t be surprised by them when you arrive.
Perfect experience of a Hanok in South Korea for us. The host was welcoming, the room was comfortable and spacious, while the garden was very peaceful for breakfast. We also got a great recommend for a Korean BBQ close by! The futons were very comfortable too!

SwitzerlandI recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hanok, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The traditional architecture, peaceful atmosphere, and attention to detail made my stay incredibly special. However, what impressed me even more than the charm of the place was the kindness of the host. I accidentally left my AirPods behind in the room, and to my surprise, the host not only found them but also sent them to my next hotel in Seoul — completely free of charge. This thoughtful gesture really touched me and showed how much the host cares about their guests. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at this wonderful hanok. It's not just a beautiful place to experience traditional Korean culture, but also a place where you'll be warmly welcomed and genuinely cared for.

United KingdomIt's a little hard to find as set back from the road behind a car park I would not advise this room if you are not physically equipped for being on the floor.
We stayed here 3 nights to explore Gyeongju and did not regret it. very quiet for a good night's sleep. It's a traditional Korean setting that's been modified with up to date bathroom. It's a beautiful and clean accommodation with futon beds that are much more comfortable than they look. Shoes are left up on decking outside and a sliding door bathroom with shower and modern toilet serves well. A small fridge is provided. Walls are thin so noise should be kept low. There is breakfast provided by the kind staff every morning with fruit, cake, coffee and boiled eggs (with soy sauce marinade) available. Plenty of shops, amenities and things to visit are all within walking distance. No furniture is in the standard rooms beside a very small vanity table and mirror.

SingaporeOnly small issues like the shower water in the common toilet goes from cold to hot & it is hard to keep it at a stable temp to shower. The room with 2 floor mattresses, the flooring near the entrance & exit of the room seems stained other wise it’s perfect.
It is a re-built Hanok so it can offer great new facilities in it so everything is of top quality. The toiletries are premium and the Hanok is so cosy. Terry the owner of the Hanok is always so helpful and available to make sure our stay is well taken care of and he also helped us to plan our stay with recommended places to eat as well as visiting sites. Really loved Gyeongju, looking forward to return for another visit if opportunity arises.
