Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

TaiwanThis hostel’s service is truly exceptional! It is so comfortable and homey. The owner is also incredibly kind—not only did she help us find places to visit, but she even drove us when she realized we were about to miss our train. The service here is outstanding. It’s definitely worth staying here, even just for a staycation.

United KingdomJamie was really kind and helpful, provided us with a lot of useful information, even took us to an indigenous restaurant for dinner together, then drop us at the festival location. She prepared breakfast for us, took care of us really well. I am very thankful to her. The room itself was comfy and spacious. Beds were equipped with individual lights. The place was clean. Living room was nice and tidy, the kitchen was fully equipped. It was a comfortable place.

Czech RepublicIf you walk from the train station it's a bit far but still manageable. In case you need pick up I'm sure you can arrange it with Jamie.
I had amazing stay at Jamies. The place is not usual hostel but you feel more like in the family. The bed is comfy and even if you are sharing the room with others you still have your privacy. The room is bright with window so you have always fresh air inside. The wifi is working well and downstairs is cozy area where you can chill. If you order breakfast you won't regret! The meal is freshly made with lots of veggies and fresh made bread! I've never had that amazing breakfast in any accommodation. Also Jamie is super friendly and give you recommendations for places where to go and where to eat! Make sure you book more nights because in Luye is many places where to go and the area is so beautiful!

United Kingdom-
Jamie has created a lovely place for travellers to Luye. The place has a welcoming and thoughtful vibe that is probably a reflection of Jamie's personality. The dorm rooms are spacious and well-equpped, the living room and kitchen are also large and comfy places. Breakfast is, as described - delicious. Jamie is a wonderful host with the ability to make you feel immediately at home

PolandI don't know. The bathrooms could be bigger, but the house will not be rebuilt. But the water is warm, hot and the pressure is good.
This guesthouse is a wonderful private home, run by the fantastic Jamie. Everything here is so well-kept, refined, well-thought-out, comfortable, clean, interesting, spacious and quiet. The atmosphere of this place is extraordinary and soothing. I travel a lot around the world and I definitely give the maximum 10 points. I came here on foot and had a leg injury. I had to stay longer. I stayed for 2 weeks and it was hard to say goodbye. I know I will come back here as if it were a friend's house. The bedrooms are large, the beds are comfortable, everything is very clean. There are several spaces for relaxing together - a living room, a dining room in the large kitchen, and an outdoor terrace. In the living room you can watch movies and the Internet on a large screen. The area is good for walking, great views of rice fields and mountains, and trains passing over the bridge. The train station, a 7-eleven store, a small supermarket and several restaurants are 2 km away. There is a cat in the house that is nice and funny. Everything here is well thought out and organized. I recommend the breakfasts, which are a work of art! Great, large selection of bread (Jamie bakes herself on site), eggs and organic vegetables, fruit. There is a place to park your car, motorbike and bicycle. There are many interesting books. There are local cafes on the nearby plateau, I especially recommend a cafe in an old Japanese house, with a small museum. This place is worth visiting, even if you weren't planning on staying in this area!

TaiwanThe upper beds could benefit from a curtain.
Located at one of the rural parts of the taiwanese east rift valley you can find Jamie's Guesthouse. After being greeted be a few lizards on the outside and a curious cat on the inside, you enter the common room with a warm welcome. A mixture of quiet jazz and japanese citypop is playing while you see a big bookshelf and many small interesting items on every surface in the building. The kitchen is filled with various cooking devices and ingredients. Another hangout area is outside behind the kitchen. The sleeping room itself and the bath are clean.
