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.).

IrelandOld door Hostel is conveniently located by the Taipei main station and in a very walkable part of the city. The room was very comfy and the beds were spacious and cosy. The bathrooms were as clean as you can get and there's a kitchen/common room with fridge, microwave etc. to prepare food if you want. Ximending is only a 10-15min walk from there. Downstairs in the cafe/entrance you can get free breakfast each morning which is chocolate toast and omelette and tea/coffee. Staff were really nice and friendly.

One of the better hostels Ive been to. Pretty decently sized room with space next to the bed + curtains. Toilet has a bidet + seatwarmer. Breakfast between 8-10. Great location. Also very kind staff. More than worth the price in my opinion.

NetherlandsNothing the staff can do much about, but some people were quite loud late at night or early in the morning in the sleeping area and since there is hardly any noise demping it was quite difficult to fall back asleep
The staff was very friendly and helpful and the common area's and sleeping facilities were clean and good. The hostel is also straight across from the station, so 10/10 for location!

Polandthere are a couple of drawbacks to consider. The hostel has only one shower, which can lead to waiting times during peak periods. This could be inconvenient for those with a tight schedule or those who value privacy and speed when getting ready. Additionally, the design of the bunk beds may pose a privacy issue for those sleeping on the lower beds; individuals on the upper bunk can easily see down, which might be uncomfortable for some guests. This design oversight could impact the privacy and overall comfort of the stay, especially for those who prefer more personal space.
Hostel truly stands out for its fantastic amenities and location. A major highlight is the hostel’s bar, a paradise for whisky enthusiasts, offering an impressive selection of different whiskies that cater to all tastes. Guests can start their day off right with a good breakfast. Location is another significant advantage; situated close to the main station, Hostel provides easy access to public transport and the city’s attractions, making exploration a breeze. Moreover, cleanliness is a priority here, with the hostel maintaining very high standards of hygiene throughout the facility, ensuring a comfortable and sanitary stay for all guests.

United StatesSometimes it gets crowded and common areas and to stay on 4th floor there is stairs, as the elevator only goes to floor 3.
The staff were so helpful and friendly. They offer free breakfast and refreshments which is really nice. I stayed in a female dorm and I felt very comfortable and safe. Despite the location being hectic (near Taipei main station) it was very quiet. I had a great stay and will definitely stay again.

FinlandIt’s a little bit loud with big road next to it but it does quiet down after a while. Also small thing but the emergency sign in the dorm is very bright so it was quite bright as my bed was next to it.
Dorm is quite big and beds are more like capsules with lots of space. Separate bathrooms spaces for women was a plus! Cafe downstairs is nice to hang out in. Free breakfast and water. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Could even leave my luggage overnight for a fee.

MalaysiaThe upper deck but no choice hahahhaha. The elevator sometimes seems to be delayed, taking longer time to respond.
The room was spacious even though I was being arranged to be upper deck(a bit inconvenient) but still quiet and comfortable enough. I mistakenly booked for mixed dorm and the staff assisted to change upon me requesting. Breakfast was super nice and the staff were friendly and warm. One of the best part of my solo trip!!

United StatesI can’t say enough great things about this hostel! An amazing location right by the Taipei Main Station (take Y13 exit), nice staff, good food, and the bunks were so spacious and clean! Everyone gets a safety deposit book to keep your things in, there is a privacy curtain, and a lot of space to store your luggage. The bathrooms were always clean, and while there is 1 shower for 12 girls that was never a problem. I’ve stayed in many many hostels as a solo female traveler and this was the best one!
