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 reviewSuper convenient - right next to Taipei main station. The common areas were beautifully designed, comfortable and had lots of natural light. Free breakfast was delicious and the dorms were clean and comfortable. One of the better hostels I’ve stayed at for sure!
There was limited space in the female dorms to put larger sized luggage. The aircon also didn’t fully reach the beds at the end of the room

Verified reviewClean. Friendly and helpful staff. GREAT location.
Seems a little pricey for the facilities offered and the limited breakfast. Great idea to offer (and insist on) house slippers, but they’re quite ugly. 😂

Verified reviewThe location was great very, close to convenient stores. Night markets were 10-15 minutes walking distance.
The bunk beds looked clean but after my wife woke up at the top bed, she got several bites on her leg which indicates bed frames were not cleaned. I would not recommend the rooms with bunk beds!

Verified reviewI like the facility what you see is what you get. The staff are so accomodating. The room are clean and the comfort room as well. I felt so safe and comfortable during my stay. I booked the 6 mixed room. If there is a chance to come back in Taiwan, I will book again in Star Hostel. Very accessible near the taipei main station. Thank you Star Hostel Good Job!
The breakfast is not ready when I wake up at 6am. I thought the breakfast will be served at 6 AM. I dont know if you are the one who will prepare the breakfast or the staff. Sad i was able to avail my 3 days free breakfast. I'm sad because I paid for it.

Verified reviewI like how friendly the staff there and they will always keep the area clean especially toilet. The breakfast also very nice and the portion consider just nice for me. I also love the public areas for everyone to chill. It is super cozy.
For me since I sleep on the upper bed so the aircon might be not so cold for me.🥲
