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 reviewQuiet and boutique style, away from the crowd. Has both common and personal pool in room. Breakfast was scrumptious. Checked out very early morning to hike Yangmingshan; staff was kind enough to let me have a soak at the common pool after I returned to pick up my luggage - very much needed to soothe my aching body!
Private bathroom a bit moldy/paint peeling; the partition between the shower and toilet bowl area is too small and the drainage wasn’t that good, so ended up with water flowing into the toilet bowl area making the whole place rather wet. Common bath can get a little dirty from inconsiderate users leaving their trash around. A relatively far walk from Xinbeitou Station up a gentle slope; shouldn’t be too much of an issue in normal times but definitely a huge hurdle with a battered body after a hike up Yangmingshan.

Verified reviewRight in Beitou, though even short walks can be tiring given how hilly it is.
The public bath the hotel is small, but the in-room tubs are a nice touch. Whole area smells slightly of sulphur, but this is unavoidable.

Verified reviewI loved the Western breakfast. There is a good assortment of food on the plate. The staff is helpful and very polite. Also, the hot springs is conveniently available at the hotel whenever you feel like having a dip.
Rooms should provide hangers instead of wardrobes where clothes have to be folded. There is no place to air dry jackets that are damp from rain. Also, Water House can consider offering dinner for guests who have just finished with the hot spring and do not wish to step out of the hotel for dinner.

Verified reviewBig in-room outdoor onsen. Spacious room, comfortable stay, excellent hospitality.
The restaurant was closed for dinner. Official check in time is 6pm even though the staff let us check in at 4.30pm. I wish that the official check in time were 3pm.

Verified reviewThe in room bath is big enough for too people, and the location is very nice just a few minutes walk from everywhere in Beitou.
Overall not very clean, and quite noisy from other rooms and even the street. Breakfast was included, but too greasy and not very tasty, we tried both Chinese and western versions. Price was too high for what you get.

Verified reviewthe hot spring tub was good
the room was very small and bed were not comfy. No table for any good. Staff only care about money instead of hospitality. Although the reservation was pre-paid and it's non-refundable, staff tried to ask us to pay the fee in cash again at check in !?!? Staff were very worry about money instead of treating guest with hospitality, seems cannot trust booking.com then why list there !?

Verified reviewOur stay was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is simple but tastefully decorated. It exhales calm, quiet and relaxation. It is right in front of the park, so you can hear the mineral water stream and cicadas when you open the room’s window. The staff upgraded our room, which was larger and featured a private onsen in a comfortably-sized bathroom overlooking the park. The shared Japanese-style onsen is very clean and calming. The staff was very kind and welcoming. My partner had a personal delicate issue concerning the shared onsen which the staff dealt perfectly with a lot of understanding and graciousness. It was also my partner’s birthday, and the hotel prepared a lovely set of cakes for us. We left Water House absolutely restored and nourished. All in all, I will absolutely stay in this hotel when I return to Beitou.

Verified reviewThe design is nice. Room is a bit small but has in-room hot spring bath which is very private and convenient.
Around hot spring area, it’s a bit boring and no instruction in English. The breakfast set is as same as every morning.
