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.).

United StatesThe single thing that I can say that I didn’t like was that there was hair in the drains in all the women’s showers, which made some of them difficult to drain. other than this, everything was perfect.
The location of the hostel is awesome, five minutes from all the action in Ximending! I did a tour through the hostel which was also really good, the tour guide (PC) was super friendly and knowledgeable. The beds were also probably the most comfortable hostel beds I’ve ever stayed in lol.

United KingdomI loved this hostel. It's social if you want it to be but not a party hostel. The beds are so comfortable and the showers and general facilities are great. I loved the communal area and the staff were so helpful with great English. The hostel put on some outings every now and again - I did a cycling evening tour which was great! I can't recommend this hostel highly enough. One of the best I've been too.

AustraliaThis is not a major problem at all, but I would highly recommend getting some extension cords for the common area, as when it was busy, it was often difficult to find a place to charge devices. This was nothing major though and everything else was absolutely fantastic.
STAFF: All the staff were amazing and happy to assist with any questions. BED/DORM: The bedding in the dorms was extremely comfortable, definitely higher in quality than what I'd otherwise expect for a hostel. The dorm only had four beds, so it felt very private and I got to know the other people in my dorm well. COMMON AREA: This had a lot of space to spread out and meet other guests, as well as a kitchen and laundry area. LOCATION: I loved the location, it was a short walk to the nearest MRT station, which can get you anywhere in the city, as well as to other stations that can take you out of Taipei. There were also plentiful food and shopping options all a short walk away.

FinlandValue for money didn’t feel too great; the room had no windows and would’ve been cramped for 3 ppl (it was a triple room and there were 2 of us). Rooftop, at least during our stay, was quite unlike the photos (a few hard benches and tables) – felt a bit like a missed opportunity.
Good location, clean, nice staff.

I felt so comfortable staying there. It was not in my plan at first but due to Typhoon hit Tainan, unfortunately I have to cancel my trip to Tainan and stayed at Taipei. Luckily I found one of the best hostels that I stayed. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Hostel clean and tidy. I will come again next time in my next Taipei trip.

NetherlandsThe bottom bunk beds are almost on the floor which made it feel less private if people came in late since my bed was also the closest to the door. The bed was a bit damp and the mattress had a small stain on it but overall clean enough. There’s no space to hang your towel somewhere tho if you don’t want it to overlap with the person on the other bed of the bunk bed. I also saw a cockroach in the common room. Luckily , the dorms didn’t have any.
The hostel is very social. There’s a lot of opportunities to connect with other travellers but the rooms are relatively quiet so that’s nice. There’s a lot of facilities available like a washing machine and one of the best common areas I’ve seen in a hostel. It is quite close to a nearby metro station so that’s handy. Their staff are also friendly and accommodating and helpful if you need any recommendations. I forgot something in my room when checking out and they let me search for it even after I checked out.
