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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

MalaysiaThe place is away from the hustle and bustle, very quiet. Its ok, but one just have to plan well for food as eateries are distance walk away (have to go through the railway station to exit at the front gate to access to Jiayi main streets).
The hotel is next to the Jiayi railway station. I made a mistake of arriving Jiayi by THR which stop at the THR railway station at the outskirt of Jiayi. But fortunately, there is a shuttle bus from the THR station to the central railway station. Just show the THR ticket and get a free shuttle bus ride. The shuttle bus terminal stop is exactly at the rare gate of Jiayi railway station. The hotel is about 500m walk from the railway station. The hotel has earlier sent me the passcode to ride the lift as the reception is at the 3rd floor, but I did not read the mail. But I still could call the front desk and they happily provide me the passcode to ride the elevator. I was greeted by a very friendly staff, and he showed me my room and took me around to familiarise with the available facilities. It was a wonderful experience. That night I bought take-out and dined at the common area. Maybe my stay was during off-season, I have the whole common area all by myself. There were plenty of tea selection and a coffee machine for fresh coffee. They also have water counter where one can fill up drinking water. I had a single room, though it is small and without window, but I have the privacy and an ensuite bathroom/toilet. Overall, my stay here was really great.

SingaporeNothing really
My go to place if I need to catch the early train to Alishan. Shuttle from HSR to the interchange is super convenient, and the hotel is just a few steps away from where you get off. Third time here, everything is perfect, Staff are helpful with late check-in, really appreciate your kind assistance with payment since it’s not so straightforward to transfer money from an overseas account to local bank. Been to countless capsules/budget places both in and outside Taiwan and this is still my favourite one.

GermanyThe place has a great location just behind the train station, so it’s very easy to go to the bus stop to Alishan the next morning. I was able to leave my luggage there for two nights before continuing on. I upgraded to a private room so can’t say anything about the capsules. The private double room was very clean, you get free coffee, tea and toast and the staff is very friendly.

SingaporeHostel is located at the rear station of Chiayi TRA, hence we have to pass the overhead bridge to get to the main side, which takes around 5-10 minutes and the bridge will close at 12AM. Room was quite small and we had problems opening our luggage, but this is understandable as it is out of the owners control too. However, these factors would not affect my stay and will definitely visit again!
The owners were really friendly and helpful! The boss introduced us around to the facilities during checkin and guided us on travel itinerary in Chiayi. We felt very welcomed and at home, and that align with the purpose of a hostel. Room and toilet were very clean and comfy. There were not much noise. There's a common space for stayers to hang out and free snacks and drinks too! In the morning, they provide free toast with different spreads options. Definitely one of the best hostel experience I had and will definitely revisit again! Thank you for hosting us Planet 23!

ItalyIt might be because Chiayi is very touristic and I booked sort of last minute, but it was pricer than the average I paid for hostels in Taiwan, and the quality was also better, but you still have to pay extra if you want towels
The facilities are great, the staff is super nice, the location in great (just behind the train station)
