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.).

United StatesThe lobby had some bugs and spiders crawling around. I was also unable to find where Breakfast was held, and there were no staff in the morning to show me the way (they explained it the prior night, but it still was unclear)
A lot of things to love about this place: - Friendly staff who can speak English - A convenient location, situated near the end of Jiufen Old Street - A large private room with nice ammenities - Soundproof walls, and a customizable A/C unit - Flexible check-in/check-out times - Incredible value, $35 is a steal for what you get They also prepared my room several hours early, which was extremely welcoming and greatly appreciated

AustraliaThis place is incredible for the price! The location is perfect, just outside of the Main Street to be at peace, but 2 min walk to get to it. There are also walking tracks starting from there. The owners have taken a great care designing the place and there is a lots of little attention everywhere. The breakfast is delicious and healthy and in a very dreamy place. Staying in Jiufen is a great way to see the village before and after the big tours are there. You can see people crafting and preparing traditional food everywhere. I couldn’t leave, I enjoyed my stay so much!

ItalyMy only qualm and suggestion is for the owners to get a newer dehumidifier. I had to unplug the one that was in my room because it was making way too much noise. It is a very small thing compared to the position and the value of the price
The ensuite is worth every penny. If you are willing to stay in a mid budget room, and without having to share the ammenities with anybody else, it's the ideal place to be. It felt like living in an upstairs attic all by myself :)

New ZealandMy room leaked in the rain and I had to use my towel to quieten the drips overnight. The bathroom is very basic and lacks privacy with a see-through glass door. The advertised free walking tour was unavailable.

AustraliaLoved the location, it is a very unique village and peaceful at night with beautiful views. There are a few ways to get to the guesthouse, if you take the bus to the 7-eleven you can walk right across the village without any stairs. The staff was super friendly and provided a map. The breakfast was lovely and made with local produce. The double suite room was very unique, comfortable and spacious.

SingaporeThe stairs to the room was narrow and steep. It was a nightmare when taking shower! So difficult to adjust the temperature, either hot or cold. Management should seriously look into this issue as I believe I am not the only feedback on this.
