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 reviewStrategic location near to the beach, Kending night market, Kending bus station and ubike station. The room is clean and got upgraded to a very large room with very little amount of money during the low season. The bed and pillow are very comfortable. This place does not have lift but not an issue for me with just backpacks. Got free bottle of water and water dispenser, meaning you can also have warm water. The staff is friendly and check in and out easily.

Verified reviewSecond time staying here, nothing wrong. On the first time they gave an upgrade, this time no upgrade but its ok. Just that the toilet was bigger than the sleeping area. There was a TV.
The pillow was too thick and high for our heads. Made it uncomfortable for our head n shoulders. All in all, still ok

Verified reviewThey gave us a free upgrade, answered all questions asked by us. Nothing to be dissatisfied about. The room was so so so so big and it was comfy. You can pay on the spot if u arrive within their working hours, otherwise u have to pay beforehand. After u check out, they will ask u to drop your keys at the small basket outside their window (office)
Nothing actually, just that we had to move our luggages up the stairs ourselves, was tiring

Verified reviewThe location is perfect and I got a free upgrade during off season. The room was super clean and bathroom great with little bath. I was very satisfied with the room.
Noise from outside just ruined my stay. It was impossible to sleep in the morning or rest in the room during the day as in front of the hotel woodworker had his workshop. The machines for wood working and tools were so loud. I don't understand why they decided to place it in front of the hotel and disturb guests.

Verified reviewIt was a bit hard to find first, but we had 4 nice days here with our room on the top level with a small extra rooftop sitting area, which we really enjoyed, just enough to sit down to have a beer. Room was nice and had all we needed, everything just right outside on the main road, the friendly staff helped us with everything, can recommend to get a scooter for a day or two to get around the area.

Verified reviewGood price. Room very very small - could be difficult for a couple. They texted me to say I had left an item.
Asked to check ferry times to Lanyu and they gave me bad information that meant I missed my planes ferry as it did not exist.
