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):
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.
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.).

MalaysiaRoom is a bit cramped, not enough space for luggage. The bed also creaks a bit with movement from top bunk. Room has its own ensuite toilet and bath, so smell and mist from toilet and bath can go into the room.
Close to the train and night market. Very accommodating staff. They gave directions to my taxi driver and also waited for me to arrive even if it's a bit past their work hours (reception is only until 6pm). They also allowed me to store my luggage for a few days for a fee. They have luggage elevator for luggage which was very much appreciated. They have laundry, kitchen/dining area and social area.

Location is lovely, 5 minutes walk from Chiayi train station. Level 5 public area was lovely, you can get drinking water, you can use their kitchen utensils, the outdoor seating area was peaceful and quiet. I've used their washer and dryer, they worked very well.

United StatesNo complaints, this stay met my expectations.
The location is extremely close to the train station as well as to a lot of shops/restaurants and the night market which was very convenient! I also liked the value of the private room. It had everything I needed for a one night stay. Another plus was that they have coin-operated washer and dryer machines (you have to pay but I'm happy it was available for use and includes laundry detergent you can use). Even though the staff only spoke a little bit of English, they were very friendly to me and tried their best to help me! :)

BulgariaI didn't like two things - our room was near the street, so it was possible to hear motorbikes and cars passing by during the night. It wasn't a big issue for us, because we were very tired after all the hiking, but I suppose it might be a problem for some other guests. The second thing is the price - I think 60 USD for a double room is too much, especially given the fact that it is a relatively simple hostel room. Those two things are why I am deducting two points.
The hostel is very clean and located in the very center of Chiayi, close to both the night market and the train station (from where the bus to Alishan departs). Many shops and restaurants nearby, also access to public transportation. The bathroom was also perfect, the bed was comfortable to relax after a whole day of walking. Easy check-in and check-out anytime, water dispensers available at multiple spots.

GermanyThe water after showering did not drain very well so the bathroom was pretty wet most of the time after showering. If you have a street side room it can get a little loud but unless you are a very light sleeper it’s not that big of an issue
Close to the station and very friendly staff. They also helped us book a scooter which was very kind. Clean rooms and cool social area. Laundry and a kitchen also present. The area has lot’s of great restaurants a few minutes away.

United StatesI stayed here so that I could visit Alishan. It is in a great location. Very close to the train and buses as well as one of the night markets and some of the other sights in Chiayi. The room is quite small, but as a solo traveler I did not mind. It is a fair price for a private room and bathroom. There is no natural light in the room and the lights arent very bright, so it might not be a place you want to hang out, but this didn't bother me because I was out most of the day and only returned to go to sleep.
