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 reviewWell located, though nearby streets can be a bit sketchy.
The rooms are quite small and we found very very small black bugs in one of the rooms.

Verified reviewI had a great experience at Monka Hotel. Great location right next to the Longshan Temple and the MRT station with lots of great places to eat in the area. The staff was very friendly and responsive, the room was very clean and although a little bit small it was very comfortable and had all the amenities needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Taipei.

Verified reviewThe location is very good. We could see the temple from our window. Close to one of the night markets. You have to walk a bit to the centre.
The room we had booked was tiny and still not the smallest of the rooms the hotel offers. There is no place to put suitcases/backpacks. The wardrobe is made up of 4 hangers. Worst of all, there was mould in the room, both visually and by smell. And not just a little bit, but normally large mould stains on the walls.

Verified reviewLocation was good. Was close to MRT station. Didn't explore the nearby area too much, but the temple seemed neat.
Room (and hotel overall) were a bit smaller than expected, and the bathroom was very cramped, but for two people it was fine.

Verified reviewNice location near to Longshan Temple and MRT. Bathroom is quite nice, and shower water pressure is great.
The room is very small. If you have luggage (like we did) you will need to step over it to get around. There’s just enough floor space to open it. The elevator is also extremely small. Again, if you have luggage, you will need to make multiple trips to get your luggage up to the room. I believe it is meant to carry one person at a time - if you’re claustrophobic you will struggle. The size of the room is specified in the description, but the pictures do not quite capture how small it is. WiFi also does not reach the room. We sat next to the door to get a more consistent signal. Overall, we were disappointed and did not think it was worth the price.

Verified reviewReasonably priced room within 2 blocks of a MRT and night market. Clean with very friendly, helpful staff.
Room was small but that seems normal for the city.

Verified reviewExcellent location next to main temple. Shared ownership with Longshan inn next door. We stayed one night here and the others in the Longshan inn. This was made very easy by staff.

Verified reviewThe location, it’s small but compact room with everything you need. The view out of the window, when you take your morning coffee in bed is unique.
The communication, i had to write them on facebook ( as in find their page online and write) so that they give me information about self check in as i was arriving late and the reception was not open after 10 pm. In the end worked out without any problems.
