Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

There was someone using the common washing machine after midnight which I don’t find appropriate. This becomes really loud if sleeping in a nearby room and one also feels the vibrations through the pillow. I did not notice whether there were rules on when to use the washing machine and when not, but the reception desk is only open until midnight, so someone definitely did not care and did it when no one could ask them not to.
We booked a room with private bathroom and we did not miss anything. For a city stay in Taipei, being mainly outside discovering the city, it was enough for us. Not having a window was a bit strange though, one never naturally knows what time it is or how the weather is like without leaving the hotel building. Although small, the room was very clean, so nothing to complain about. The staff was also very friendly, we were offered help with using the washing machine, although there were written instructions available.

Got back pain every morning because of the bed. My room was in level 2, suggestion would be to add a microwave next to the water fountain in the lobby in 2F. I think Taipei is quite expensive for hotels.
The location was really good 10min from Taipei main station and ximending. Easy to travel around. Lot of 7-eleven, family mart and restaurants around. The room was big enough and the check-in and out was easy with a machine. Not much noise. Shower was a good size

The corridors and entrance on the 2F were not particularly clean and not at all inviting. Not necessarily the most important point though.
Super central near Taipei main train station with lots of eateries nearby. Double room was clean and great value for money. (Don’t expect luxury because you are not paying for luxury)

Bed was very comfy and good. Toilet has bidet like those japanese toilets, which is a big plus:)

The WiFi in my room didn’t work.. it seemed to be too far since as soon as I’d go outside it would catch again. The AC is also set up above the bed so you can feel the wind on you while laying down but it didn’t bother me much.
A small room in a great location, would recommend to travel around. Felt comfortable as a solo traveler, there is security at night. The bathroom was clean and comfortable. Check-in and out was great and done with the machine.

Although we paid for a room with windows, we couldn't open them. Maybe it was just us that didn't know how to open and frankly we didn't ask! I also think it's quite normal in this part of the world not to be able to open the windows in hotels. But for us it would have been nice.
The overall ambience of the hotel was nice and the staff helpful. The room was comfortable too. Location is great because it's so close to Main Station and it has so many nice restaurants around.

Nothing. Everything went smooth so far...
Location is just walking distance to Ximending and Taipei main station. 7-11 is just slightly across the hostel. Easy to find via google maps navigation. We can take uber from the hostel pickup point and it is also an easy drop off point coming from other location. We had low expection but was surprised that it was overall a great stay. Easy check-in/check-out process plus we were able to leave our luggages upon check-out so we can still stroll around before our flight. Highly recommended and we will definitely return. Thanks!

I'm happy with what I get for the price I pay.
Location was great, not too far from Taipei Main Station, easy to find, just follow Google Maps and you'll arrive there, plenty of signs to show where the hotel is. Easy to go to Ximending Night Market as well, can be reach by walking. Lots of FamilyMart and 7-Eleven nearby, easy to find restaurants nearby. Staffs were wonderful and extremely helpful. Rooms were comfortable, clean, although a bit small, but that's understandable. We arrived at Formosa 101 about 9am because we had night flight, the room wasn't ready yet (of course). We planned to leave the luggage and walked around a little bit, but our two little kids had another plan. They were knackered and fall asleep, but luckily at around 11, the staff informed us that one of our rooms was ready so we can use the room and with no extra early check in payment.
