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 reviewDelicious breakfast, variety of foods included. Convenient location close to ferry and bus stop. Super friendly hosts. They didn't speak English but tried really hard to communicate using Google translate. They offered and gave us many snacks during our stay, helped us get bike rentals brought to the homestay, and helped us get a driver to return to Taichung.
Nothing, except it was hard to communicate. But that was a minor inconvenience.

Verified reviewGreat location. Staff are really kind and hospitable. They treat us like their family. Breakfast was plantafull and yummy. We had the Lakeview room. The room was clean, and we were able to see sunrise from our room. When entering and exiting their back exit. (Which faces the lake). It's about 400 meters to the main hub, seven eleven, and food. We had to catch an 8 am. bus. The wonder staff packed our breakfast to go. My husband and I highly recommend the place. We will definitely return next time.

Verified reviewLake views so it’s just by the board walk which takes you a short distance down to rent some bikes. People were friendly and warm from receptionist to the kitchen staff. They even helped my mum cut some of her fruits. The breakfast was homemade, hearty and yummy. They will ask for your preference of breakfast timing due to limited seating at the counters.
Location is not right at the central where all the activity and food is at so you would have to walk a bit of distance to it. We arrived at night and with elderly and a kid that can’t walk far, and as places close early,and limited taxis available, we settled for a restaurant close by.

Verified reviewSpacious room with a fantastic view of sun moon lake. Good service provided by the home stay.
Location is about 900m from the bus terminal building , either need to walk there with luggage or take a cab which fare is higher for this short distance.

The staff only spoke mandarin but this is not a major issue with today’s IT tolls such as Google translate.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was beautifully prepared and delivered to our room. It was a lovely stroll along the lake front to get to the accommodation, and the lake view from the room was amazing. The hosts were very kind, going out of their way to help make our visit to sun moon lake go well.

Verified reviewReviewed: 30 January 2024 · Stayed in January 2024
Verified reviewGorgous views of the lake - marred by weather so we didnt get to walk the trail either. Spotless property and very well appointed room - tastefully designed, modern and evereything worked. Really comfortable beds too. Cldnt be happier with the room, complete with kettle, tea/ coffee and snacks.
Unfortunatley there was a misunderstanding - we were told we would be served breakfast in our rooms at 8am - waited till 8.40am before i made my way down to reception only to find out that all had been laid out in the dining room ince 8am. No matter but it messed up our timings a little and the coffee and breakfast had all gone cold, which wasn't great given it was a chilly morning. Host was very apologetic though. Location wise, there's no convenience store or eateries near enough - need to hike out a bit.
