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.).

Verified reviewThe Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong in Seoul is a fantastic choice for staying in the Myeongdong area for shopping and a good base for exploring Seoul in general. Alongside the major department stores and shops immediately outside the hotel there are also a wide selection of restaurants just round the corner from the hotel. And the Myeongdong night Market is very close by also. For Travelling around Soeul the Uiluro 1 metro station is very close to the Hotel. The Breakfast buffet of the Hotel is very good if needed, and so are the rooms, given the location of the hotel it's very quiet and peaceful at night if you have a room on the higher floors, and if you stay in a queen sized room it's very sizable. The hotel staff are very warm and approachable if you have any queries. Thank you very much, It was a wonderful stay, and I would very much like to recommend this hotel for staying in Myeongdong and indeed staying in Seoul. Hope to stay with you again on my next trip to Seoul. Many Thanks.

Verified reviewCentral location, perfect for exploring the vibrant Myeongdong shopping district, everything is within walking distance. The hotel offers good value for money and reliable standards, as you would expect from the Ibis brand. Rooms were clean, functional, and equipped with all essentials needed for a short city break. Despite the compact size, the quiet and efficient air conditioning made the stay comfortable.
The room and bathroom were very small, barely enough space for luggage and personal belongings. The bathroom, in particular, felt quite cramped. Still, both were adequate for the basics as expected from a three-star hotel. We booked for two adults and a child, and although the hotel was aware of this, there was only enough linen for two people. A third towel and pillow for our child would have been expected, especially since our booking included him. We did not try the breakfast, so can't comment on the food. One source of frustration was the similar branding and naming on Google Maps: there is both an Ibis Ambassador Myeongdong and an Ibis Styles Ambassador Myeongdong just a few blocks apart. The names are too alike, causing confusion with Uber and navigation—clearer differentiation would help avoid mix-ups, as the distinctions in "styles" and logo color aren’t always obvious.
Dear Valued Guest, Warm greetings from ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re truly pleased to hear that you appreciated our central location, overall cleanliness, value for money, and the reliability you’ve come to expect from the ibis brand. It’s great to know that the quiet and efficient air conditioning contributed to a comfortable stay despite the compact size of the room. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the oversight in linen preparation for your child. As your booking clearly included three guests, we fully understand that a third towel and pillow should have been readily available, and we regret the inconvenience this caused. We will take this matter up with our housekeeping team to ensure better attention to guest details moving forward. We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the confusion between ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong and ibis Styles Ambassador Myeongdong. We acknowledge that the naming similarity on maps and transportation apps can lead to misunderstandings, and we will share this concern with our brand and digital teams to explore ways to improve clarity for future guests. While you didn’t have a chance to try our breakfast this time, we hope to welcome you back again and provide an even more seamless and satisfying experience next time.
