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.).

SingaporeThough it is very close to one of the exits of Taipei Main station, the station is huge, so it is quite a walk from the MRT. Closer to the airport line.
Very nice clean place. Loads of space for storage. Very clean toilets that are well maintained. The staff were really nice.

TaiwanNil.
The social space was very inviting. I had the opportunity to speak to some fellow travellers when I went for a refill of water. The hostel is a short walk from the one of the exits. There is a 7-11 just beside the hostel so it was convenient to grab food and drinks even though I arrived quite late and the nearby shops were closed.

AustraliaThere is a bit of noise coming from the streets if you have a window. Not a problem for me though.
Staff were helpful and friendly. The aircon for summer was powerful. Location is good with 7-Eleven at the ground floor and lots of food places, some 24 hours, around the area as well as a small fresh food street market in the morning. You get free bottled water if you get the ensuit room. Otherwise, the common room has free hot and cold drinking water, some fridge space, and some tea and coffee. The laundry was efficient, both the washing machine and dryer. You can store your luggage if needed when you arrive or the day you leave. Taipei Main Station is easily accessible (but the station itself is a maze, go through Y Mall, and use exit Y13 for the closest exit to Meander 1948).

SingaporeIf you're sleeping near the door, there's a very loud air filter running. I had to request them to turn it off to much reluctance from one male staff who initially insisted its not possible, but it was gone when I returned at night All the staff except that guy was very friendly and helpful. The guy was a stickler for the rules and I think he's better off in operations or finance rather than customer service. I asked whether I could refill water and instead of simply telling me I can do so on level 4, he unnecessarily used a rude tone saying hostel guests are separate from cafe guests on the ground floor. Another staff did not even hesitate to help me fill the bottle at the ground floor without question though I insisted I could do it myself at L4, stark difference.
Clean shared toilet and comfortable bed Free towel replacement every day which is rare in a hostel, and they even have spare floor towels for you to replace at any time in the toilet if the floor is wet Bunk bed was great, has a universal plug so you won't need an adaptor Has luggage locker and hangers too

PhilippinesI had to cut my trip short of 1 day. I didn't get refunded for my last day which is understandable. At least I didn't have to rush with the check-out time.
The pillow, and comforter were so comfortable, and the bed is big enough for me. I like that the sockets are placed next to my bed where I can easily reach for my devices without getting up. I also want to highlight how cool that the hostel has this event organized only for those staying in Meander 1948. It was a Firefly Watching walking tour which I participated only because there was a last minute cancellation (lucky me). The late check-in process was also easy.

New ZealandThe staff were lovely and very helpful. The dorm rooms were so well designed with a decent sized locker and luggage storage for each person. The thick curtains around each bed were great for blocking light and giving a feeling of privacy. I appreciated the shelf in the bed space for storing my phone etc. I also liked having the gentler light and full light options in the bed space. Having the stairs to the upper bunks was also great! It was so clean and very charming. The communal space was lovely too.

MalaysiaThe best thing was the location a stone throw away from Taipei main station, fast wifi and a western style cafe. The triple room was fairly spacious though there was no cupboard space just a few hangers and the TV was at an odd angle so did not us. We did not know reception was 24hrs which created a slight problem as we tried to leave a luggage at 7am but reception was not open

United KingdomWe stayed in the Meander Osaka hostel and enjoyed it so decided to book the one in Taipei too. It’s in a great location - close to the main station and within walking distance to some shopping areas and local restaurants. We had breakfast included which meant we had a choice of 4 restaurants to go to. We would recommend trying Li-Ji Soy Milk for a traditional Taiwanese breakfast. The room was a good size and showers had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Common area was nice too, although as we had a private room we didn’t need to use it much. Fresh towels provided each day along with bottles of water.
