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.).

NorwayPositive, welcoming staff, knowledgeable, interested and helpful. Location just a walk across the square outside Hualien station. Bus to Taroko Gorge leaves from the bus station on the same square. Very convenient. They have free bikes, you can cycle around Hualien in no time. Single room on the 8th floor had a huge bathroom with shower, bunkbed accessible by built stair/wooden levels(!) small window from the bedside towards cityview, room under the bunkbed big enough to place your own bike if you brought one.TV. Lounge/ desk one floor up from street level with lots of windows towards the outside, big space and places to sit alone or mix with others. Simple brakfast toast with cheese and ham. Free coffee and tea. Ramen/ snacks/ drinks for sale. Great place.

IndiaThe rooms had a slightly moldy smell but it's not too bad.
It's across the road from railway station. So if you're arriving early/ late you don't have to worry about how to get here. Also the taroko shuttle bus and tours all start very close by, so it's convenient.

TaiwanI think it would be better if the hostel obliged the residents to leave their shoes out of the bedroom to avoid unpleasant smell from the shoes and sock and they can only wear sandals inside of the room
The location was really near hualien station (it was only 3 min walk) and very close to the main bus station which have various buses that can take you go around hualien. The room, public kitchen, toilet, and bathroom are really clean and well maintained, the work space was really cozy, and the hostel was so kind to provide free coffee, tea, milk tea, and a decent toast for the breakfast.

MalaysiaI like everything about this hostel.
It's a stone throw distance to Hualien TRA and Bus Station. I stayed here for 2 nights in a double bed private room and it is totally incredible! The toilet comes with a bidet and the hotel provide 50TWD breakfast for restaurant/ 7-11 nearby. They themselves also provide free basic breakfast in the morning. They allow us to borrow extra pillow and the staffs are very accommodative in attending our requests. There are laundry machines (washer and dryer 40TWD each for 40 minutes, 10TWD for detergent). The environment is so clean, proper and awesome. Wish I could stay longer! Forget about other place in Hualien, just stay here if you're travelling alone/pair.

GermanyThe upper beds in the dorm share a ladder and it's super slippery when you wear socks. I actually fell down once, luckily, I didn't get injured. There is a bathroom in the dorm which I think is not necessary and takes away space. When all beds are occupied, there is not a lot of space.
Located directly at the train/bus station with many scooter rental places around. Curtains covering the bed. Washing machines available. Free coffee and tea. Extra bathrooms on each level.

New ZealandTo improve sustainability, my preference is to see a change from disposable paper plated for breakfast to reusable ones.
As a cyclist, I valued safe storage indoors for my bicycle. The dorm beds had good curtains and were comfortable, and there were well-priced laundry washers and dryers on the top floor. And the location so close to the railway station was perfect for me.
