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 reviewWe had everything we needed. The owner was very friendly. He helped us arrange a taxi for the next morning. This hostel is centrally located and a 15 min walk to many stores and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again in the future. (The rooftop is also a gem if you want to sit outside and relax).

Verified reviewThe hostel is very cosy and warm, it felt like visiting a friend. It’s also located in a convenient area - there’s convenience stores and many food options nearby. The rooms and toilets are super clean and well-maintained. I was very touched by the hosts’ kindness - they were so welcoming and made me feel right at home. They showed me the warmth of Taitung and I couldn’t be more grateful. There’s also 2 adorable cats living in the hostel! This is a lovely and quaint guesthouse in the beautiful Taitung city. I would love to come back and visit again.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe best things about the property were the cleanliness and the common space downstairs. Also, the garden at the terrace was wonderful.
A big turndown for us was that the air conditioner does not function from 9 am to 6 pm. Since it was summer time, the room became quite hot and uncomfortable if someone doesn’t plan on going out during these hours or plans to take rest or so. Also the owner controls the air conditioner so there is no way the guests can use it by their own. The terrace also had no air conditioner facility, so it was very hot and warm over there, making it quite uncomfortable in the peak summers.

Verified reviewThis place felt like your own home, everything was super clean. We also used the bikes for free to see Taitung which was really comfortable for us. We have never been in such a cozy hostel before. The owner is an absolutely welcoming and warm-hearted person who is willing to help where he can. He helped us a lot and even gave us some Taiwanese snacks to taste. Really delicious. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewThe hostel is superbly clean, and facilities are good including free use of washing machine and dryer machine. You could find facial cleanser, sunscreen cream available for use too. There are plenty of books (mainly chinese) on the shelf that you could browse and read, and the two cats are rather friendly. It is also at a convenient location with 2 bus stops nearby.
The mattress was a bit too thin, and not so comfortable to sleep on
