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 bathroom is at the bottom floor, we stayed on the top floor but there's a toilet there.. So it's OK.
It's short walk up the old jiufen street. The staff will give you a pictorial direction to the location if you are directional challenge like me 😊 Like most hostel, it's very compact and depending on the season you travel in. I went in late April.. It's humid and warm.. But the rooms are air conditioned.. So it's great. The owner/staff is very friendly and will help you get around.. We booked a night tour which was very educational 😊 it's after all the shop closed for the day. Recommended for short stay

DenmarkWith many people sharing a dorm room, the toilets get easily dirty and IMO need cleaning often. I stayed two nights, but would recommend just one night in Jiufen.
The location is incredible. You're smack dab in the middle of the old street. The beds were nice and had enough privacy to be comfortable. There aren't dedicated lockers, but the staff was kind enough to sort another locker for me to use while I was there. The communal/shared space was nice to have access to and the rooftop terrace provided a great view of the sound.

United KingdomEven though we had nothing of value with us, I'd point out that there aren't any lockers for bags/valuables. Travellers are generally out to sightsee and not to steal from others, but if you have something valuable that you're worried about with you, then I would ask the owner if you can store it with him.
The location is brilliant, and we found it quite easily. It's down a few stairs just off the old street, so pretty handy. Loved the view from the roof. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. We arrived way before our check-in time, and nobody was there, BUT there was a code for the WiFi on the door and we were able to call the owner on WhatsApp. He let us in and allowed us to store our bags. I am confident that someone would have been there to greet us at, or slightly before, the scheduled check-in time. The box accommodation is good for a couple of nights exploring the area. Fairly comfortable and charging ports for phones etc. No door to the bunk but there is a curtain, which was fine for us. Shared toilet seemed to be kept clean. People seemed to be conscious of keeping noise down inside the box rooms. Good air con in the room as well!

FranceNo staff onsite. All by phone/WhatsApp. Which may not be the best if you're not connected. Also some people arriving after midnight still called the manager from the room to get their bed. Assigning the bed by message beforehand may help.
Staying overnight in Juifen is the best idea to avoid crowds. The hostel had a perfect location right next to the old street. Very convenient . Amazing view from the rooftop

SingaporeA lot of manual work of carrying your luggage up and down, but the owners are nice to help out on this, thank you!
The rooftop is amazing!!! Around 8 mins walk through the old street to get to the hostel, the roads are rocky so your luggage might bounce around a little. Facilities are nice and clean, easy access to the old street, owners were nice and friendly
