Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaGreat location. Room was downstairs, it was really big which is nice, did seem to not have a super fresh smell but couldn’t figure out what it was. Shower was separate to toilet which was nice but both were a little small and sink was exposed to the room. Perfect for one night! Staff were really nice and they showed me to my room

South KoreaThe beds had no curtains, so low privacy at times. The windows also had no curtains, so the sunlight was strong early in the morning. Hard to sleep in, had to cover my eyes with a jacket. But otherwise great stay!

MalaysiaNot used to toilet paper unable to flush down the WC but to dump in the waste bin in toilet, however this seems to be the common practise in Taiwan as a whole, they do provide some with hand bidet which is great. The hot water is kinda unstable and need to adjust often to maintain at a comfortable temperature.
Conveniently located just opposite the busy Ximending district, and walking distance to Taipei Underground shopping district, with public transport such as bus station and MRT within walking distant. The room is spacious and basic amenities provided in public area. Highly recommended for budget travelers, shop goers, and food hunters.

GermanyThe layout of the hostel is a joke. The most beautiful pictures are from the reception in another building. The decoration is kept to a minimum at the actual place of stay. Bathrooms are next to the community area including "kitchen". Without a door there is the staircase leading to the showers and an open sink. No door separates this area from the actual rooms, meaning you hear every person taking a shower, brushing teeth, using microwave, opening a door etc. Due to this atmosphere, you don't really want to socialize with other people in there. Not using a key, but a password to enter your room is a nice idea to prevent people from losing keys, however the panels are very loud. "The Kitchen" contains a microwave and provides you warm or even hot water, but you can't really cook there. The faucets are super short, so a lot of water is wasted and ends up everywhere. Towels that are provided are super short. The receptionist emphasized, that guests are not supposed to contact them anymore. Although it seems that a cleaning person came there regularly, the material of the floor is in a bad shaped and always looked dirty. Luckiliy I saw insects only in the staircase area but not inside my room. And luckily only a few.
The location is at the edge of a popular district, however, the noise from it isn't as much as one might expect. The bed was soft and probably the best thing about my stay there. Uncomplicated check-out. For people on a tight budget who don't mind all the noise within the house and rather use a room a locker, may still be happy with it.
