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):
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.
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.).

SwitzerlandGiven the right expectations, there is nothing not to be liked.
It is a huge property which is past its glorious hey days but the view from the room over the valley was gorgeous. Even though breakfast was basic, I did not lack anything. It was especially nice to fly a sky lantern offered by the hotel.

United StatesThe brothers running the place we're very kind and accommodating. They also facilitated lantern experience for us at the resort. The location is within walking distance to the Shifen waterfalls and to the old street, very convenient home base if you want to explore the Pingxi district. The place is clean and comfortable to stay at and they even have us a ride to the train station after we checked out.

United KingdomSome people in our group found the beds too hard, some us loved them though. There's quite an ascent to the resort that might be challenging for some people, but parking ia located on the top so you can always go by car.
Very charming staff composed of what seems to be a troup of retired people, always helpful, calm, and smiling. They gave us a sky lantern and help us to paint it and release it. Awesome green surroundings with the fresh sound and smell of nature all around the place day and night. The compound has a really wide set of attractions perfect for kids, from the swimming pool with slides to a sky train powered by cycling.

United StatesLocation was great. Just a short walk to the old street and to the Shifen Waterfall park. Parking that was free was available on site. Breakfast was traditional Taiwanese and good. Those who ran the hotel were very nice and pleasant and I really appreciated them. I also love that a lantern was included in stay and then taking the time to walk me through and record video for me. Room was very comfortable. Very easy to find. Overall would recommend.

MalaysiaThe entrance road from the hotel security guard house to the hotel premises is quite steep. Not suitable for elderly to walk up. If you drive a car, shouldn't be any problem.
Nice and cool surrounded with beautiful hills. The breakfast and dinner were superb and tasty suited to my whole family. The staff was helpful and friendly. One of the friendly staff name 'Wu Ge' (五哥) helped to pick us up at Shifen train station/old street during the heavy rain and cool day when we want to return back to the hotel after visiting the tourist site in the evening. The hotel provided free lantern to light up and release it to the sky too. Well done !
