How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewClose too train station and bus routes and taxis. Staff at check in was very friendly and her English was very good!!! Rooms (construction core bunk beds) and facilities were exactly as in photos.. I really liked the card lock system for the entry and the lockers. Was very very quite during our stay, maybe it would be different in a busier time.

Verified reviewLocation was excellent, a 5 minute walk to the train station. The room was clean. I loved they provided a shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and a face wash as well as coffee and tea for free.
The bunk bed was hard. The lockers were too small, it could hardly fit my 40L backpack. There were only three toilets and one of them was only for males. Cleaning the bathroom should be more regular. The toilets were sometimes nasty and full of things no one would want to see. The showers were nice but there should be more bath rugs so water is not spread all over the bathrooms. Overall, it's an OK hostel for a couple of nights.

Verified reviewThe staff was nice and the location close to Hualien HSR Station.
The room felt quite claustrophobic because of the dark ceiling, the pattern on the wall looked like you were in a holding cell. Biggest issue was the smell though. While the common room is really nice, the entire hostel smells of mold and the air is really damp. I even discovered mold inside of our AC and in one of the corner of our rooms. :(

Verified reviewThe showers and toilets were adequate.
It’s quite cramped in the building. Also very strong synthetic fragrance smell in the common areas and hallway, almost suffocating. Our room slept 22 of us, the lockers for luggage is relatively small and our luggage couldn’t fit. A short distance walk from the train station but nothing much to eat around the location. Shops are closed by 7pm so better grab dinner earlier.
