Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United StatesI wasn't impressed by the food, and it should be a bit bigger selection.
My room was quiet, away from the elevator, which I asked for.

United StatesNo shelf in the beds to put phones on at night. Outlets were at the foot of the bed. I'm just being nitpicky really. I've stayed in hundreds of hostels and this was easily in the top 5.
Omg this hostel was amazing. Female only dorm. Privacy curtains. Clean showers and toilets. There were air vents in the beds! And counters with mirrors to quick get ready if you needed. Breakfast was a huge buffet with a mixture of asian foods and breads.View of 101 from the dorm window! Comfy beds. Lockers were good with separate number locks. Staff was really nice as well. There's a bar right outside the 1st floor entrance which is super cute. 7-11 across the street and only a few min walk to Raohe, so great location!

The size of the room was really great. I loved having a couch to relax on. The view of Taipei 101 was really nice too. I slept really well each night thanks to the blackout curtains. Shower was great and the bidet was a cherry on top. Breakfast was fantastic. I will definitely be staying here again.

The breakfast here is top-tier! Really delicious and everyday the menu is slightly different. Great location, just 30 mins by public transportation from Songshan airport and the main train station. Really clean facilities. I like how each floor has a common area/kitchen. Walking distance to Raohe night market and other great restaurants. I will definitely stay here again.

ChinaThe shuttle service from the airport seemed excessive. A huge van arrived for only me. Too expensive and a waste of fuel. Next time will arrive earlier in the day and take public transport.

NetherlandsThere are a lot of people in one dorm room though ... I stayed in the female dorm room, which was quite calm. No big critiques about NK hostel to be honest.
Great location, and a nice breakfast buffet is included in the price. Good value for money. Moreover, the lockers are spacious (fit a whole suitcase).

United KingdomThe arrival at reception was a bit "cold", not a smile, not a welcome, just a simple "hi", it seemed they just couldn't be bothered with what they were doing. The guys explained some basic rules and asked for my credit card to confirm the booking, a few seconds after I realized that he didn't even ask me if I wanted to use cash or card for payment, they just assume everybody pays by card. The price I paid was TWD 1180/night, a bit pricier than other hostels, I only stayed 1 night and it was fine, but I would have had second thoughts about booking here had I decided to stay longer, it depends on one's budget really. The toilets are located before the reception, a bit inconvenient if using overnight or straight after a shower. The location of the hostel might not suit everybody, some other people would complain it's a bit too far off the main central area, personally I was fine with it but then again, like for the price, I only stayed 1 night.
This was my 1st hostel during my stay in Taipei, I arrived at Taipei Main Station from the airport, I then took the MRT (Green Line) from Beimen station, got off at Nanjing Sanmin (5 stops), from here it's a 10 minutes' walk top. You access the dorms/showers area + your own dorm via the card you get from reception. You get your own locker (inside the dorm), which is big enough for a normal-sized rucksack or a small-sized suitcase (the one that fits into the overhead locker on a plane) and you access it with a 2-digit combination (3 digits would have been better); the dorm was slightly air-conditioned throughout the night, quite a faint noise, and not too cold, actually quite pleasant overall. If I remember correctly they turn off the dorm lights from reception at 23:00, I was ok with this. The showers are right across the dorm, 3 showers (maybe 4?), big showerheads, there are sinks as well. The sleeping pods have an amazing size, they're big enough for 2 people and are very comfy, have their own light which is also actioned via the card and are provided with a proper curtain for privacy. The other excellent thing was the breakfast buffet, with savoury and sweet options, almost like in some hotels. Tea & coffee are available all day from the huge kitchen. Cleanliness was good throughout. The hostel is on the 5th floor, where there's also a balcony should you wish to smoke, and from which you have a view on Taipei. There is also a laundry on the 8th floor. My Internet connection was slightly on and off, unsure if it was the hostel's wi-fi not working properly, it might as well have been my mobile. Check-out at 11:00 was great. It is located at less than 10 minutes' walk from the Raohe Night Market, one of the main ones in the city.

Stayed here for two days during my first trip to Taiwan! Was worried about staying at a hostel at first but this facility exceeded my expectations ☺️ Staff were friendly, bunk beds were roomy, breakfast was also really good. Bus station just a few steps away although you'd have to walk for around ~10mins for the train station. Will definitely stay here again when I come back 😊
