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 reviewI second what a previous reviewer said, the host is probably the nicest man in Taiwan. Sure, the accommodation is a little far from town, but he offers to drive you everywhere. I stayed one night a day he drove me around 4 times, he seems to love doing it, he even offered me a beer. Added bonus is the rooms are huge, it's quiet and very clean.
Nothing.
Thank you for your appreciation.

Verified reviewChi Min, the host, is really kind and helpful; he came to pick me up at the station waiting for my train delay, and also offered many times to drive me around and at the end he dropped me at the station very early in the morning. the room was super clean and tidy, with every comfort. the location is a little far from the city but as I said Chi Min is very helpful and there are buses to move around.

Verified reviewThe owner was really kind and welcoming. The property is a bit outside the town but conveniently next to the station - the owner offered us a lift into town for dinner but there was a lovely vegetarian restaurant a short walk away which we went too instead. He also gave us a lift to the station the next morning.

Verified reviewThe owner is a very nice guy who likes to bring you with his 25 to 30 years old car to taitung city center, to taitung fugang fish harbor or ickk you up at the railway station . Very good service. He also brought cakes to our room. You can also make your own coffee in the room
Most disappointing was the fact that on booking.com the availability of free bicycles was mentioned. This information was not valid anymore

Verified reviewThe place is run by a really friendly elderly couple, everyday they greet you with a smile and makes you feel very welcome, it felt heartwarming. We felt the most comfortable and personal we felt staying in a place during this trip. The host also offers transportation from and to the trainstation and he even brought us to a scooter rental place. We also got a free upgrade to a bigger room cause he felt like it, just in general so many nice gestures and they’re all unconditional, and thats a nice feeling. We will definitely stay here again if we ever have the chance!
Absolutely welcome back again. Thanks for your kindness.

Verified reviewI would recommend this place to anyone coming to Taitung. The hostel is a cozy, clean, and family-run business near the train station. It is probably the best value-for-money option you can find out there. The hospitality offered by the hosts during my stay was simply amazing. They offered me free pick-up and drop off between the hostel and the train station. On the last day of my stay, Miss Li, the host even offered to drive me around for the whole day just so I could catch a glimpse of the city one more time before I left. I am so grateful for this surprise day-trip. The room and other facilities are also well-maintained and clean. As a family-run hostel, I certainly feel like much work has been put in. I have to also thank the host who came looking for the in the middle of the night on his bike when I was returning late from a nearby laundry store just to make sure I was safe. That was such a heart-warming gesture from him and even recalling it now makes me very grateful. I wish Miss Li and her family successes in running the place and thank you for such a great experience.
