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 reviewIt was absolutely stunning. The views from the dining areas, reception, and our room were amazing. This was the nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The room was fabulous and so was the service. The room change over for evening time was incredibly thoughtful and made for a romantic evening.
For any non Chinese speaking guests you should make sure you translate any food allergies so that there are no misunderstandings. I was served the food item I am allergic to 2 of the 3 times I was served food. Luckily it’s a mild allergy so having it on the plate is fine but if you have severe allergies translate to confirm would be recommended.

Just little dangerous to walk to old town from hotel since there weren’t walking path. It’ll be nice to have a shuttle to drop and pick up from old town.

Verified reviewThe property is absolutely stunning, with beautiful rooms, some of them with river and mountain view. The ensuite mini onsen in the room is the perfect escape from the reality of a full day's hike. The food included in the half board is tasty and beautifully presented

Verified reviewStaying at Volando was the complete package!! The staff were fantastic and the location looking over the most beautiful river and to be able to relax was all part of their approach. you did not have to leave the accomodation if you didn't want too as everything was catered for to make your stay great. The building itself and its artwork stands apart and the artist who created the drums and brass sculptures is integral to Volando ( you will learn why). Their ceremonies were memorable. The spa component was a highlight and it was wonderful to just come and go as you liked to use the facilities. The massage treatments were some of the best we have experienced. We enjoyed the delicious array of food and both the chinese and french fare were very good. Our room which had a river view was lovely and unassumingly perfect. Also we really loved the area of Wulan and our hosts gave us a map and great advice of the area and what to try, the little railway and the gondola to the waterfalls was fun. A huge thankyou again to the Volando team for making our stay so beautiful.

Verified reviewVery exclusive, great service, superb food and super fresh. Spa was great!
Nothing actually, will be great if there is more activities to do or have yoga/gym classes. Resort is starting to have signs of being a little run-down, time for an upkeep.

Verified reviewAn incredible stay at the resort. It's truly an experience to live with a dedicated but discreet team ! Even if the price may be high for Taiwan, note that it's a relais château and you're entirely taken care of from breakfast to night snack ! It is worth it and great value for money

Verified reviewThe service was exceptional, from the front desk to the restaurants to the spa. I almost cried when we were shown our room. It was huge and had a beautiful view of the tranquil river outside. The spa was excellent, there is a public portion that is also great! The hotel was a really short walk to the historic village, where we took a tram up the mountain. The village had amazing street food. The food in the hotel was gastronomy and one could tell that great care went into the planning and preparation of it. The room was supplied with coffee and tea and snacks. All in all, it was very hard to say goodbye. Great accommodation and service for the price.
There was nothing I didn't like about this place and we will go back on our next trip to Taipei. It's a great place to get over jet lag and the uber from Taoyuan airport cost less than our airport ride in Los Angeles.

Verified reviewThe Hotel is at an amazing location, you can enjoy the hot springs direct in the Hotel Spa. It’s tasteful designed and the staff is lovely and helpful.
It needs urgent a make over, painting and some maintenance work all over. Unfortunately nowhere to sit outside to enjoy the view, we had to go somewhere else. The breakfast is compare to other hotels too simple and you have only two choices. Dinner the same, no wine bar or anything to drink after dinner. It’s actually in a high price range but I think it’s far too expensive for what it is. Such a beauty, with a bit effort easy to wake it up.

Verified reviewWe can select the scent of the room, which made the stay very enjoyable. The food is great! (Afternoon tea, dinner, beef noodles and breakfast) I love the activities, performance and the art tour of hotel!
The spa is quite full. We can’t make any booking when we arrived the hotel, shall reserve it in advance. Need to pay attention to the hotel shuttle bus schedule, as it’s only one bus for every 2 hours.
