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.).

United StatesGreat location and wonderful hospitality offered by the owner of the hostel, Angela. Impressively clean and well equipped with all what a traveler may need. In addition, it is a great place on getting a good advice on “what to do and see in Hualien besides Taroco gorge.”

United KingdomYou receive a message to say don't arrive before 3pm as no one there. I arrived at 4pm. The owner didn't arrive until 8pm lucky I found the volunteer working there who showed me to my dorm. Asked if I could use a glass and wasn't allowed as it was a water glass and not a glass for beer and the glass would smell after use and she was stood right next to a dishwasher. Not very well advertised only a small sign outside on the road side
Opposite the station. Comfy beds and washing machine to use free of charge

GermanyIf you arrive when no one's there, it's a bit hard to find where exactly the entrance is or where it is appropriate to wait for staff to check you in. Downstairs common area is currently under construction, Whis is why it was confusing. A quick call and this question was solved. In the morning, the big entrance was closed so I had to exit via the unassuming back entrance, which didn't seem intuitive or was introduced before. So I copied a fellow guest that came by luckily.
Lazy House provides everything that a typical hostel provides. House shoes inside, shower gel and shampoo, drinking water, kettle, hairdryer, washing machine, (however, not towels). I'm very satisfied with the cleanliness. Easy to find if you exit via the back entrance of Hualien train station

NetherlandsEverything was good!
When I arrived in Lazy House I directly felt at home. The common area is nice, the music fits, the people are chill and the hostel dog always wants to cuddle. Other plus: the owner of the hostel plays the piano every night. And she helped me with planning everything for my stay in Hualien. Which trails to do in the national park, where to rent a scooter and as well as bike for my trip along the east coast.

United KingdomWas far from town centre.
Decent homestyle hostel very close to the station. Rooms clean and spacious. The only downside was the lack of atmosphere, it was deathly quiet over Xmas, and interaction with staff, which is quite typical in hostels in Taiwan.

BelgiumFacilities could have been more up to date. The room was located close to the street, so you could hear all the cars and motorbikes passing by as there was little noise isolation, so I had to get earplugs for this reason. It was really like all the windows were open, even though they were firmly closed.
Really nice vibe and good place downstairs to relax and meet new people Clean and comfy rooms overall. People coming here seem very nice in general. Location was also great. The host is very kind, very attentive and really makes you feel welcome.
