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 reviewThere was no breakfast. Beds were comfy and the location was great. They have a minion's theme going on there which we thought was kind of fun. Owner was super wonderful in helping us find a driver to take us to Taroko Gorge for the day. The driver was reasonable and very informative.
Nothing we didn't like.

Verified reviewGood in between place for station and rest of town, nice big room
Not very clean, lots of trinkets around the room full of dust, edges of floors also dirty, at one point cleaners didn’t replace the floor towel for the shower and there is never any staff on reception. Road was so noisy that the balcony was pointless. No Mountain View.
When we received you, we asked whether you would like to live on the 2nd or 3rd floor. You wanted to live on the 2nd floor because your luggage is too heavy. Of course, living on a lower floor is not as good as living on the 3rd floor. If there is anything wrong with the cleaning staff, please tell us immediately. We will be happy to serve you quickly!

Verified review- exceptionally well furnished room, very comfortable, modern and clean - the tiered floor with a few stairs gave a warm and homely feel to the room, welcoming you to lie down and relax on the big comfy beds with lots of pillows - spacious, both the room and the bathroom - very friendly and helpful host
- sliding windows don't seal completely, but traffic sounds didn't disturb our sleep
If you lock the windows, the noise on the road will be reduced a lot. Thank you!

Verified reviewNice spacious room, balcony, Netflix on tv, wifi strong. Very clean and welcome drink. 15min walk from station
Because they do not clean your room, it would be helpful to put some basic necessities on the corridor (toilet paper etc). As there also was no staff present.
We have room cleaning service. Please hang the cleaning sign on the door handle to let us know. We will be happy to serve you! We have to clean the room in the morning, so no one will be at the front desk until after 3pm. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Verified reviewCentral, it’s half way between the station and Hualien downtown so around 15mins walk each way. Plenty of restaurant/eateries around.
No lifts so need to carry luggage up stairs to room.

Verified reviewDid the job, clean, good location about a 20 minute walk from train station and night market.
Location was a block off from where it says in Booking.com and it was not possible for us to find it on Google maps. Also note that the front desk is not always staffed, so it is helpful to be accurate with your check-in time in advance. (Although the staff did come fairly quickly when I messaged on booking that we were here.) It was also difficult for us to figure out the air conditioner, and the pillows were large and hard.
We have to clean the room in the morning, so there will be no one at the front desk until after 3pm. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.!

Verified reviewLocation is a short walk from Hualien train station just off the busy main street so it's quieter, but lots of food and convenience shops nearby. Room is clean and comfortable and there are some Taiwanese snacks to welcome you as well. Has a homely feel and could be somewhere to stay in for a longer period if needed. There is a roof top laundry room with washing machine and detergent you can use for free – you can dry things up there or there is a laundry line/hook you can use in the balcony as well.
A note that staff are there to welcome you and check in but they don't have anyone manning the front counter, but you can message them via the app and they will reply fairly quickly! Also, no lift so in case you're carrying heavy luggage or don't walk so well, either ask for a lower room or be prepared to have to carry your own luggage downstairs when you check out (the staff helped to carry it up during check in!)
