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.).

this hostel was located next to the train and bus station with Miyhara Ice cream shop behind it. Lovely welcome on arrival and everything was explained clearly as we checked in. Room was small but the seating outside around the rooms made up for this by far. Large windows overlooking the train station made for many little private nooks to sit and watch in the evening. Loved all the art work scattered around. Just beautiful. Very very clean. Loved all the eco-friendly touches. and the fact that their was no TV to disturb the peaceful atmosphere. New and workable kitchen facilities should you wish to cook your own meal. Would recommend to anyone wanting a central place to stay.

SingaporeThe check-in time must be EXACTLY 3pm even though the room were available. You have to checkout BEFORE 11am. My first experience. Compare to Caesar Park in Taipei is cheaper by SGD30. Compared to Hualien Kindness and Kaohsiung Kindness, they are more expensive and does not provide anything at all.
The location is opposite the Taichung Railway Station but NOT the High Speed Rail Station. Is 4 stops by train from the RAILWAY STATION. Anyway, is quiet.

NetherlandsIf you’d like to go out at night for dinner / drinks you’d have to catch a bus (to e.g. West District). Rooms are a bit small if you are a couple with two backpacks / suitcase.
Rooms were generally clean. Hostel is very quiet. Location is near train / bus station so early transport is easy to catch.

United StatesSuper adorable, cozy hostel conveniently located with a beautiful view out the windows of common spaces of the Taichung train station across the street. Great bus and train access! With only two people sharing a bathroom, the room felt very clean and like there was a lot of privacy with the door to the suite (two separate rooms and a bathroom) having keycard access. Basic amenities like one towel, shampoo and conditioner provided in the room which also had ample space (for a capsule style hotel), two plugs, and two small shelves next to the bed for keeping small items out for easy access. High ceilings and a window made it feel extra roomy and comfortable. Shared kitchen and common area had free snacks including crackers and fruit, dishes and utensils, a toaster oven, and tea. Staff were attentive and always around. Washer available, and a 50NT coupon for breakfast at several nearby restaurants was provided per day. Highly recommend this super charming place!

TaiwanThe only thing is you have to change into the slippers provided by the hostel before entering the "guest room area" (not your room). This has caused some inconvenience and raised concerns about hygiene.
It has various kitchen utensils, easy to use. Cleanness is impeccable. A very friendly place for solo traveler.

United Kingdom- They don´t clean the rooms every day but that´s expected of a hostel - The vouchers sometimes didn´t cover a decent breakfast, also most of the cafes only opened at 9am
- Great and very helpful/welcoming staff (helped me to take the bus to Sun moon lake among other things) - Super clean and bright reception and common areas - Amazing roof terrace with hammocks - Toast and marmalade for breakfast on top of the vouchers - Very convenient location by the main train station

SingaporeI wish that I have just a little more space for hanging off my clothes. Do also note that the doors tend to close loudly so do bring along ear plugs if needed.
It is a beautiful and quaint place with different rooms for different travellers. Note that it is five storeys with the main level at 12 for reception. Every room even has its own guest book so you can share your own story to the person who stays in the room. It is incredibly charming.
