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 reviewThe closet where we stored our valuables smelled awful. I didn’t want to leave my clothes in there for the fear they would take on the awful stench. It smelled like 1000 dirty feet in dirty socks

Verified reviewI liked that there was free breakfast and plenty of space in the bed areas. They also had free lockers to use—just be careful how you use them, since there are instructions, and if you don’t read them carefully, they can make loud noises if you mess up lol. It’s close to public transportation, and the staff are really nice!
I didn’t like that you need to have your room key card in the bed areas to use the lights and charging ports. Also, there was no AC in the bathroom area across the hallway or in the laundry facilities upstairs and on the first floor, so it was very hot. Even in the bedrooms, it took a while for me to cool off. Additionally, there were at least 14 beds in the female dormitory room, which was new for me, but it was fine for the two nights I was there.

Verified reviewIt is hostel, but also has separate rooms in which we were. Room was good and big, and also had very good view to Taipei 101. Breakfast was OK. Location of the hotel is good and it is very close to one night market.
Everything was good.

Verified reviewAwesome little cabins for beds that gave you your own space. Locker set up with shelving and power points meant it was easy to keep your stuff sorted.
A bit awkward having to go out to the lifts for the toilet in the middle of the night

Verified reviewLocation - I drive up to Taipei from the south. I'm close to the least expensive car park I know in Taipei. (still seeking FREE parking spots - I'm onto a lead! Wish me luck. There's a nearby park and market street. bike and subway get me anywhere, fast. AND it's the only Taipei location I've stayed in where it's restful for me to arrive, to be there, and to stay. I'm grounded and at ease for all Taipei offers. ALSO they improve ALL. THE. TIME. This time: morning buffet butter was room temperature (last time straight out of the fridge, so melting was an issue for me.) They seem to have caring capable eyes on everything, and so they deal with tiny things, fast.
Um. Nothing comes to mine. Everywhere I looked, everything I interacted with was in gentle relaxed order. That's amazing for a hostel/hotel.

I wasn't impressed by the food, and it should be a bit bigger selection.
