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 location was a great and the host was very friendly and attentive. The beach was right across the way and they had a table and chairs that we could use.

Verified reviewVery local, very surf. Great mosquito nets on the windows. Great balcony to see the sun rise. Right in front of the best spot in town to surf. Cheap surf rentals - plenty to choose from. Staff / Owners are always impeccable - I remember asking for recommendations and in seconds I got messages in my phone with places to dine out. I couldn’t sleep because of my jet leg and it was good to have a surfboard available to catch some waves at 5 am when it was still cool weather. I also got free waters and snacks - unlimited which was crazy good. You can see the effort and the hospitality of the Taiwanese people for sure. I got breakfast made for me and it was delicious. Beds are very comfortable. Tv in the room good size and showers are perfect.
Rooms need more ventilation as it smelled a bit mouldy at the begging. I did open the windows and that smell went away quickly. My advice is to open the windows after the guest checks out which will give time for the room to dry. I honestly think that this is something to do with most Taiwanese buildings as I’ve experienced it in other properties too.
Thank you for your patronage and suggestions. I wish you all the best in Taiwan.

Verified reviewThe host was very friendly, even if she didn't speak a lot of English, she sent a ton of great recommendations on Whatsapp that helped a lot. The rooftop is great, and the free snacks and drinks were really appreciated. The bed was comfortable.
It is a bit of a walk from the train station, but not bad, about 15 minutes. In terms of being a Hostel, there wasn't really anyone else around, so there wasn't much of a community feeling.
Thank you for liking everything about us. Here the sunrise, sea, surf and beach are waiting for you to come back again.

Verified reviewThe owner was always smiling and happy to be living in this little surf community. The room was super clean and the king bed comfortable. We could hear the ocean from our room. They provided water and fresh fruit daily and the afternoon hang out on the roof was absolutely amazing. Thank you for caring so much!
Thank you for your comments and likes, good guest.

Verified reviewThe owners are really nice to interact with. They are willing to go above and beyond to make sure you have an enjoyable and pleasant stay. We rented surf boards and wet suits here, too, and all were great quality. It's super close to a really neat surfing community. Liked it so much we stayed an extra night. The hosts also offer perks like free drinks and snacks to make your stay a bit more comfortable.
Thank you for your visit in the spring. Thank you for your like.

Verified reviewIt's the small things that make a stay wonderful- fresh fruit, a hot scallion pancake after surf and coffee. Wonderful hospitality with kind and helpful owners. It's a great location (walk straight to surf from door), clean, cozy and the shower was hot.

Verified reviewThe owners of the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. They provided breakfast and coffee each morning and I rented a surfboard and wetsuit each day. The hostel is across the street from a path to the beach, so surfing was very convenient. My room was clean and had some interesting art on the walls. The bed was comfortable and since I was the only person staying it was very quiet.
My room only had very small high windows that were frosted and faced a temple parking lot. Other rooms had larger windows that faced trees, which would have been nicer. There are some restaurants nearby, but they're mostly for foreigners (pizza, beer). I ended up going into Toucheng and Jiaoxi for meals at local places. It's a ~15 minute walk to the train station.
A good place for surfing very close to Taipei. It is winter now and it is a quiet beach. It is 10-15 minutes away from the seafood restaurant. If you like it, you are welcome to come often! Thank u!

Verified reviewReally enjoyed our 3D/2N stay at this family-run hostel. They are kind and generous and really go to the next level to be helpful. They also provide free cold/hot drinks and some snacks. The room was very clean with a comfy king bed, a sitting area, a large, modern bathroom with great water pressure, excellent AC and good WiFi. The TV has a cable package with many channels in several languages (mostly Mandarin and English). We opted for the breakfast. Delicious and homemade! The hostel has a dedicated surfboard rental on the beach. Guests enjoy a discounted rate and also get a table/umbrella/chairs on the beach.
All good!
