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.).

ItalyWashing machine and dryer are coin-activated and quite expensive, and they both need a lot of 10NTD coins, which not everyone has lying around. The girl at the desk was lovely and broke my bigger banknote, but considering the above-average price of the hostel, it would've been nice to have laundry be more accessible. This wasn't a problem for me, and the hostel warns you very clearly, but this property does NOT have an elevator, so be prepared to take the stairs. If you have very heavy luggage, be ready, and unfortunately it doesn't seem disability-friendly at all.
Cozy, nice little hostel, just a seven-minute MRT ride from Taipei Main Station, within a few minutes of Yuanshan metro station and easy reach of convenience stores, restaurants, and a night market, surrounded by lively streets and a lovely park for a beautiful balance of greenery and city life. The hostel was clean, and the rooms were spacious. The dorm room has big windows, whereas the other one only has a smaller window, be warned. The bathrooms were also clean and easy to use, as well as equipped with hygiene products (sanitary pads, dental floss, cotton buds) and hairdryers. The hostel also provides slippers (good quality ones that won't melt in the shower, but you don't get to take them away), which are also numbered so it's easy to find yours. It's a small detail, but I was definitely glad not to have to guess like it happens every so often. There are two common spaces: a café on the second floor and a room on the roof on the fourth floor. Depending on which one you choose, there's plenty of variation between couches, chairs with tables, beds, etc. There's also plenty of entertainment material (travel guides, coloring books, a guitar, etc.). I absolutely loved hanging out on the roof, it's a comfortable space with an amazing atmosphere. The café downstairs (first floor) closes after 6 P.M., and you can also stay there both during opening hours and later. There are also two lovely cats, which was a definite plus for me, but if you have allergies, know that they roam around the café quite a bit. I personally prefer smaller hostels and quieter environments, so if you're looking for a typical youth hostel to meet big groups, this is not it. What it is, is a great place to rest and relax, with good company if you go out of your way to talk to people, and the opportunity to be by yourself and unwind otherwise. Definitely explore the surroundings and see a few snippets of daily life and Taipei events at Expo Park.

GermanyMost accommodations in Taiwan love their rules, but this one really stood out. The lady working there was quite inflexible.
Impeccably clean, bathrooms and dorms alike. Cute common areas, even though there wasn’t so much of a social vibe, people were mostly on their phone. They have a guitar and a mat and I enjoyed doing yoga on the rooftop. They also offer a booklet with hikes around the area. The hostel is in a good area, many things accessible by walking, MRT on the doorstep, just like uBikes (best way to get around Taipei!).

CanadaStairs are steep with no hand rail. Did not take luggage up to room as a result as more than one steep flight. Neighborhood is quieter and further away from popular areas.
