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.).

TaiwanThis hostel has seen its better days that many "free bikes" parked at the front doors are actually no longer roadworthy. Would be awesome if the bikes are properly repaired and the the public areas on the ground level a bit tidier.
Second stay here. A nice hostel for those who are travelling on a budget. The location is really great that the night market is literally a stone's throw away and it only takes a 10-minute's walk to the seaside promenade. Walking from TRA Hualien station to this hostel takes around 35 minutes on foot but it would be an interesting walking tour for historically minded travellers, as this will take you through the heart of Hualien city where you see modern, cold war buildings or even much older ones from the Japnese era. Plenty of space beside the bunker bed for your luggage is a huge plus. Camping lanterns add a touch of coziness and sense of bushcraft. Can't recommend it more.

AustraliaThe bathroom and dorm were not cleaned during my whole stay (6 days)
The common area is so cute and full of character, the rooms are well designed and very comfortable. There’s a big shelf next to the bed, and a very decent sized locker. The free bike was awesome!!

Taiwanthe sinks in the female bathroom might needs some scrubbing. perhaps not as many females residents have been around so the bathroom was a bit un cared for.
Very convenient location, around 5 min walk from the night market and close to a bus stop goes to the train station.

Each bed has its own closet/ cupboard with a sliding door to lock your stuff behind. The eating space was cosy. I enjoyed my time writing and watching the people walk by. Also, free bike use and so close to the largest night market. haha, and free snacks!!!

AustraliaIt wasn’t very clean in the bathroom and common area there was hair everywhere. I stayed there 4 nights and the same hair was there. I wore flip flops in the shower. Overall though apart from the cleaning have no complaints.
Good location, excellent wifi in rooms, sheets were nice. Bed and pillow comfortable and each bunk had a lot of storage so felt very private.

Czech RepublicThe bed is very soft, which surprised me, and my sleep was not the best. Also, the AC is blasting, and it gets super cold during the night, but that may be my European problem. Also, the hostel is not exactly social, since there are only two dorm rooms.
The hostel is great, and there are free bikes for you to borrow, which is perfect for riding along the coast of Hualien. Additionally, there are free small snacks prepared for you. The bed in the dorm is spacious; there is a great space for locking your things near the bed. The showers and toilets are overall clean, and the owner is great. The location is quite far from the train station, but very close to the night market, which is absolutely perfect.

SingaporeThe host was largely MIA. More could be done to provide local tours and traveling information. I notice there were some brochures on the table only at the end of my trip. The board of the bed frame is significantly higher than the mattress, had quite a few painful knocks at the start.
The location was absolutely fantastic, a 5 minutes walk to the huge night market at dongdamen. Facilities was very clean too. The mattress was very comfortable too. A small towel is provided. There's also complimentary snacks.
