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 StatesThe hotel enjoys a convenient location near Taroko Gorge. The Michelin-recommended breakfast was outstanding; among several excellent breakfasts experienced in Taiwan, this one was superior and fully justified the expense. A wide selection of unique beverages was provided in the refrigerator (included in the room rate).

AustraliaMy room was on 2nd floor while female bathroom was on 3rd floor, meaning I need to come out the room and go upstairs to use the toilet at night. But I liked the fact that the bathrooms were separated between males and females anyway.
Modern furnishing and clean rooms. Bathrooms were also clean too. Nice that the bathrooms were gender-segragated. Has washing machine and dryer in the bathroom. Although check-in and checkout were self-auto staff were nice and attentive when I had questions and requests.

CanadaSuper helpful front desk staff next door. They helped us check in and told us all about things to see and do in the area, and about a dance show that evening and any and all dining opertunities. It was nice that they let us use the pool/hot tub in the more expensive hotel next to us, and let us use bikes for 2 hrs for free. The location on the beach is lovely. The pool was so nice and clean. The view of the ocean was gorgeous and the hotel looked dramatic against the mountain behind it.

Taiwan1. Our bed was assigned at 2nd floor and female common bathroom is at 3rd floor... I wish the female solo backpacker is assigned in 3rd floor too where the toilet is. 2. I messaged thru booking app that I will arrive at 23:00 but no help was provided to call taxi late at night. The train station staff helped me to book the taxi.

MacauNo water provided in the room, however, there water filter on the ground floor. The room with view was actually a partial sea view as the building next to the hotel covers most of the view.
The room was nice and clean, quite spacious and quiet. We couldn’t try the swimming pool but it looked like the people there were enjoying.

This would have to be the most modern hostel you’re ever likely to stay in. Self check in , all mod cons, heated mirrors in bathroom!! It is at its inception I believe so there were a few teething problems with accepting card payment and locker issues, but the amazing friendly staff from the neighbouring hotel were always quick and eager to help. Only downside is the location is a bit of a walk past some angry doggies. But bark worse than bite.

SingaporeWe had our breakfast to go and they packed so much food for us, we had to eat them for both breakfast and lunch and still had extra to offer to our private driver. It would be better if we can choose smaller portions then there won't be food wastage.
This hotel was my family's favourite because of the proximity to Manbo Beach. To watch the sunset and listen to the waves crashing onto the pebbles just 50m away from the hotel was so surreal. Everything inside the room was so clean and comfortable too. And the dinner was really good even for my picky children. There was also alive singing right outside the restaurant. We all wished we could have stayed longer! Very near to Taroko Park too.

ChinaMattress is too hard. The included take away breakfast was not our taste. I would recommend to have breakfast at your own expense in the hotel next door.
Modern and well designed hotel with everything you need. Self check in and check out worked without problems. Rooms are spacious and quiet. Location is good, very close to Taroko NP. Definitely a recommendation!

United KingdomRE location, the hotel is in a dodgy part of town, 20min from Xincheng station. I arrived here at night due to my travel schedule (so no taxis available) and had to walk through dark streets to get here. I was almost attacked by a stray dog too. No food nearby, you only have the hotel restaurant. Whilst the food is good, its too expensively priced compared to the rest of Taiwan. You certainly can eat much better for much cheaper elsewhere. You also need to enter a code to get into the bathrooms. But then the code for both male and female is advertised in the dorm, so it seems very pointless to do this.
Convenient place to stay if you want to travel to Taroko gorge. From Xincheng you can take a 10min bus to the entrance of the park and beat the crowds to do Shakadang at 7am. The room is basically a cabin inside a hotel so it feels like you’re in a hotel. Everything is clean, fancy, and modern. You can enjoy all the facilities of a hotel (except the pool). There are only 4 beds in the dorm which is great and I was completely alone on my first night there.
