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.).

Dear Guest, We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. To avoid any misunderstanding among other guests, we would like to clarify the situation on that day: our phone system was functioning normally, and we did not receive any call records from you; at the time, we also asked you for a convenient phone number to assist you. The room was reserved for you throughout your stay, and we also provided an additional flexible option allowing you to postpone your stay for up to six months. Should you have any future accommodation needs, please let us know in advance, and we will process your request based on the current room rates. If the room rate exceeds the originally booked amount, the difference will need to be paid. We will continue to optimize our service processes and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother check-in experience in the future.

Verified reviewThe room was very spacious, so I really enjoyed my stay.
There is no 24-hour front desk service at night.
Thank you for your kind words about our spacious rooms. We’re glad you had a pleasant stay. 😊 As for your comment on the front desk, it is true that our reception is not staffed 24/7 during late-night hours. We always try to make this clear in our guest information, and we’ll continue to improve ways to ensure guests feel comfortable and supported during their stay. We look forward to welcoming you again, and thank you for your valuable feedback.

Dear Fraser Thank you for choosing to stay at our hotel and for your valuable feedback. Regarding the small room and simple facilities you mentioned, this time you booked our standard double room, which is more compact and suitable for short stay travellers. If you have a chance to visit us again, we suggest you to choose our Deluxe Double Room, which is more spacious and comfortable, and we hope it will bring you a better stay. We look forward to serving you again in the future and wish you all the best!

Verified reviewGood location close to Taipei Main Station.
Some maintenance required inside the rooms. A coat of paint could do wonders. Bathroom shower fitting is quite awkward and one needs to have water flow very slow, not to wet the entire bathroom, since no shower door or curtain. Very difficult to find from street - no signage. The lift is at street number 179 and not street number 130 as indicated on Google Maps.

Verified reviewSee previous emails. I couldnt stay, because the key they left me didnt work and since it was in the middle of the night nobody was there to change it. Two other people staying there tried to help and we called to but no answer. The day after I returnet and talked to the extremely rude and unprofessional receptionist about this. She promised me full refund in the end. I have it all on tape.
Dear Guest, We understand that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we sincerely regret any inconvenience you may have encountered. However, we would like to clarify that our team had informed you in advance about the absence of night staff and assured you that the key was functioning properly. Our front desk team has consistently been recognized for their hospitality, particularly towards international guests. However, we were disappointed by your approach towards our staff. From the beginning, you expressed impatience regarding our English proficiency and repeatedly insisted that no one was on duty, despite our clear explanations over the phone. While we strive to provide the best possible service, we also believe that mutual respect is essential. We regret that we were unable to meet your expectations, but we kindly ask that interactions remain courteous and respectful. Sincerely, New Lion City Hotel

Although the sleeping area was fine, the floor was a bit dirty, and the curtains and TV were dusty.

Verified reviewThe location is quite good; it's a <10 minute walk from TPE airport subway. Note that the walk involves going through narrow streets, and so it would be difficult for people with luggage.
The room and especially the corridor smelled like a cleaned...bathroom. Cleaned, no doubt, but a bathroom nonetheless. Also, the room is quite small, barely enough for two people.
