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.).

NetherlandsSmell in the room was a bit weird.
Super nice location! Staff was very friendly and the rooms were so nice, big beds. Felt super safe, locked every door with a code so no one, not allowed, will get in. I loved this place!

NetherlandsThe location of the hostel is very convenient. It’s close to the train station, so you can get your early bus to Alishan. The room was clean and staff friendly. The included breakfast was a disappointment though. You only get 2 slices of white bread with bit of jam. No coffee/tea or any other food items. So don’t count on that for a full breakfast.

TaiwanGood location (easy to find and close to lots of food options). Although it's a hostel, the fittings (beds and bathroom) feel very new and are super clean. Very secure: the front door, elevator, and rooms all require a passcode, which is issued when you check in (a unique passcode for each booking). The staff were helpful and pleasant, and very patient with my endless questions. They also saved me from my own stupidity by finding a phone charger that I could borrow. Automated self check-in and -out is on the right as you enter; there are multiple language options and you should be okay if you just follow the prompts. The hostel requires you to take off outdoor shoes before going upstairs. They provide reusable room slippers; I think they sanitize them between uses, but if that bothers you, remember to bring your own. Towels, toothbrushes, and earplugs (but not eye covers) are available for rental/purchase on the 5th floor. The 5th floor also has basic cooking facilities and a large fridge where you can leave food until 8 pm on the day you check out, and each bed has a small drawer with a lock (which I think you probably need to empty by 3 pm on the day you check out, though I didn't confirm this). You can leave suitcases, etc on the first floor until 8 pm the day you check out. The only real negative is the keypad for the room beeps every time sometimes enters, which I imagine could be annoying if you're a light sleeper and go to sleep early/wake up late. I didn't have any problems though.

United StatesThere is no social atmosphere whatsoever. I didn’t like how we had codes for everything and no keys. You even had to type the code to go up the elevator or use the bathroom which was quite inconvenient and the beeping was loud when people were trying to sleep. I’d prefer a key card personally. In my opinion there was no reason whatsoever to have so much security in an incredibly safe town/ area.
It was incredibly clean and the rooms/ beds were so cozy. I loved the comforter and slept so well. There was nice warm lighting. The common area was relaxing and had a full kitchen and plenty of space in the fridge. They provided toast and jam and milk you could eat for breakfast or a snack, as well as plenty of tea bags. Lots of natural light and a coffee shop downstairs. The woman working helped me when I forgot my room code. It’s also a 3 minute walk from the train station so I didn’t have to worry about getting there with my large backpack. The beds are so comfortable and big and you have your own private space and it feels more hotel-like than like a hostel- but great value!

GermanyThe room was very small, there was not enough space to open the luggage and the door...bathroom and toilet area were also very small, there was not enough space at the morning to get ready for more than two girls... You need to press pass key for everything and that makes a lot of noise. No coffee at breakfast, only bread and tea.
Good location, 5 minutes walk from the train station. Nice staff. Very big and comfortable bed, Elevator.

United StatesThe bathroom on the fifth floor was okay. One of the showers was broken and luckily it wasn’t too busy so I never had to wait, but the shower heads were a bit confusing.
I loved that the lounge space on the 5th floor was clean and super accessible. It was great to be able to meet other travelers and everyone respected the quiet hours. The front desk staff is also super nice! I wanted to dry my laundry and she walked me through the washing machine upstairs (which is free!) and then helped me find a laundromat that was a 3 min walk to dry my clothes. If you plan on washing clothing here, you will have to hang dry on the rooftop level or dry nearby like I did.

Very easily accessible from the train station, close to the main part of the city, the night market, and shops. The bed was really big and comfy, the AC worked great. The bathroom was small, but sufficient for how many people were staying at the time. And clean! There's also a cafe at the ground level, but I haven't used that. And while the place has no laundry in it, there was a great coin laundry very close.

The location is near Chiayi Station. I feel safe in this hostel as we need a pin to take the elevator up to the room.
