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.).

TaiwanBecause of size restraints it felt cramped at times. While facilities are kept clean, there are a lot of things in storage that spilled over into other places (E.g. there was a rice cooker in my assigned locker - which was more funny than anything to be honest, I wasn't fussed and I'm sure they would've moved it had I needed the space). There's only one shared bathroom (two toilet stalls, one shower) which at peak times was interesting but everybody was respectful and patient so it was bearable. It seems that at my time of stay, there were renovations in the building so I assume there are usually more facilities available. Sometimes people rang the doorbell many times quite late (11pm) and the sound can be heard throughout the whole hostel.
I liked that the facilities were relatively clean and well-organized. There are provisions for just about all your basic needs in a hostel and it is clearly marked out how to get the things you need. The beds are relatively comfortable as well. Staff was accommodating.

GermanyI got a bed in dorm which is right in front of the reception and the only bathroom and shower is right next to their desk! He said another was under construction! By the way, there is ATM right across from the entrance door, on the other side of the street, there is no need to go to the 7/11 and pay extra charge. They don't accept cards, I had to pay cash, and they recommended 7/11 !
The bed was spacious and clean! The place is called StarBox hostel which would have been easier to find for foreigners. The staff are not that good at English but friendly. The entrance of the building has security guard for the elevator, they will open the entrance door every time. I say the place is clean and good enough for a short stay. The location is not that far from a subway station.

JapanI think I'm more concerned about the basin/sink or even the toilet itself as there is only one toilet and you have to wait for your turn before you can use it
I like how it was near to the Taipei Main Station. Near to the nearest NingXia Night Market. It's convenient to any places you'll go in Taiwan.

CanadaWhen we arrived at the building, the doorman didn't want to let us in. He wanted us to call the hostel, but we don't have an international calling plan, and it was a bit confusing to get just into the building. The hostel is part of a larger business building, and once we were in it was fine, but confusing getting there. The bathroom had only 1 toilet and 2 showers. All a bit snug, and not a great setup for storing stuff while you showered. The bed had some hairs left in it before our arrival.
The place was in a nice building (but was a bit confusing to get in to). The bed was comfortable. The place was quiet for sleeping. The staff inside was helpful. They let us check in early. Small towels were provided.

Hong Kong- There is no clear information that the place is under renovation. So, instead of living in a well-organized space you live in small rooms full of people everyday. - Only one toilet available. - Shower rooms are tiny and within the toilet area. It gets crowded fast. - One of the worst internet I have ever encountered. Even in the worst places in mainland China I had better.
- The location is great, not far from the MRT to the airport and other stations. Also, other spots are close, especially Ningxia market. - Hospitable crew. - The guards downstairs are cool.

AustriaWe had a bed at the end of the hostel, so we had no wifi when we stayed at our bunk. There was only one toilet in a small room, with two showers for all the people in the hostel. It was super moist in there, when people were showering and your feet get wet every time you needed to go to the toilet. The fridge was a little stinky and there were some ants (or smth else) inside. We had troubles to find the entrance to the hostel in the building, because it wasnt signed properly.
It was pretty much space in front of our bed compared to other hostels. Hot/cold water was free, also there was a fridge to use. We felt safe, because there was a porter at the entrance 24/7.

ItalyI had an amazing stay! From the moment I arrived, the experience was fantastic, and a lot of that was thanks to the incredible staff at reception. The guy who greeted me was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. He went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and making sure I had everything I needed. The hostel itself was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere for meeting other travelers. But what really stood out was the kindness and attention to detail from the staff, especially the gentleman at the front desk. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely return next time I’m in town. 5 stars all the way!"
