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 reviewI want to take a moment to appreciate 老板's quick resolution to difficult problems, showing her helpfulness and professionalism. Due to a change in schedule, I had to leave a few days earlier than planned. The quick departure caused some issues with my booking, as the owner also needed to account for Booking's commission fees. Nevertheless, she was efficient in cancelling my old booking and updated the new one, leaving me only to pay the new price (also settled via credit card.) Highly efficient within a short notice. The Vietnamese staff was also supportive and helpful — a big plus during communication as I'm also from Vietnam. The room was a good value to money and accurate as the description goes. Bonus for location, too.
Bathroom locks were old, and there were tiny mosquitoes in bed, so tiny I couldn't catch them — but they were a real nuisance to my night sleep.

Verified reviewEverything is so well organised. The beds/pods are very spacious. Bathrooms are clean. Big communal kitchen area. I liked that the female dorm is actually on a female only floor, so also no men in the bathrooms. Felt so save and comfortable. I think this was one of the best hostels I ever stayed at.
Everything was good.

Verified reviewThis is my 3rd time staying here after 5 years away. I could not be happier with this hostel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful at every interaction. The bunks are comfortable and private, the showers are hot, and the bathrooms are clean. The toilets have bidet seats which is a huge plus. The entire property is very clean and thoughtfully designed. The rooms are not cramped for space and the lockers are large. The rooftop community space is inviting and comfortable. The hostel is not in a tourist area (this is a huge plus) so you get the feel for an authentic neighborhood. There are plenty of food stalls/restaurants within less than 3 minute walk. The subway station is also <5 minute walk away. This will be my default hostel anytime I am in Taipei.

Verified reviewA modern and clean place! Many amenities, including free lockers, and close to a subway stop. There was a very nice common space to use as well.
Perhaps it was my fault, but they put us in a shared room with a shared bed. I thought I had asked for two separate sleeping spaces. Also, there were not enough electrical outlets despite the shared space.

Verified reviewAbout 5-10 mins walk from the nearest subway station. Plenty of food options nearby and have a supermarket across the road in one of the streets. Check in staff were friendly and cordial. Have a terrace on the top floor and a hangout area for dining and just chilling. Bed was comfortable and has space for hanging clothes which is an added bonus.
The price wasn’t too competitive. Saw it was actually cheaper when book last minute. Shower / toilet cubicles / laundry area were all cluttered in the same place which is pretty tight. The shower cubicles wall corners were lined with grout and some dirt. The shower head handle was mounted on an awkward height and the shower head fell on my head twice. After every shower , there are puddles of water on the floor outside the cubicles which they have to use a manual fan to dry.
