Verified guest reviews from real Bookers

Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Only one pillow and small duvet
Our stay at the Alien couldn't have been better. We were picked up from the railway station. Our room was huge and it was cold when we arrived so a heater was bought to our room. It was so quiet so slept well. The bathroom is small with a wet shower but plenty of hot water and we got our towels changed daily. The breakfast was AMAZING, different everyday and cooked at a certain time for you. The accommodation is a 20 minute walk to the train/ bus station and there's heaps of eating options close by. This accommodation is great value!!

Slightly longer walk to train station (around 20mins) but they can pick you up and offer to do so which is great so not really a problem! Loved our stay here and would come back.
Spacious rooms, hot shower with a good drain, lots of amenities for guests to use, water and tea provided and breakfast included is great.

If there is blanket available it would be even better.
The host is very nice and thoughtful. We stayed at the property for two nights. We need to leave early to join a tour one day and leave early to Hualien train station the other day. For both cases, The chef, Mr Chen ZiNing, was helping us by preparing breakfast earlier than the normal breakfast time. The breakfast was also well prepared. It was delicious with good nutrition balance. On the day we left for the train station, the host also took us to the station using her own car, this was really helpful. We are really appreciated her kindness and thoughtfulness. The overall condition of the facility is good. The room is nice and clean and very quiet.

Breakfast is a bit boring and you dont have choice. Kitchen can only use the microwave, no usable stove or kettle in the kitchen. If you want to boil water for tea you have to get the kettle from your room.
The room is spacious, aircon is cool. Location is superb which is near to many convenience store, good restaurant, milk tea shop.

All good. Please note that the shower is in the middle of the bathroom and will splash everywhere.
Great stay, our room was clean, comfortable and super spacious. The family that runs the B&B is really friendly. Central location: 20 min walking from the train station and 15 min walking from the night market. The included breakfast was really good: we got scramble eggs, toast, vegetables and tea. One day they even offered us to try a local breakfast. Wifi worked great.
