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.).

Our experience at this hostel exceeded all expectations! The cleanliness of the place was exceptional, and everything from the rooms to the common areas was comfortable and well-maintained. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure that we had a fantastic stay. We enjoyed spending time with them, whether it was sharing travel stories or receiving local tips and recommendations. For us, this was the best hostel experience we've ever had, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

United StatesGreat atmosphere and people here! ❤️ Star mom and Star dad are awesome!! Super welcoming and warm! ❤️ The hostel is super clean and the ambiance is homey. The first floor is an inviting setting for conversations and dialogues. The location is close to the Taitung's train station, which is away from the city center, and scooter rentals are all around. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Taitung.

DenmarkThis is hands down the BEST hostel I have ever stayed at and I have stayed in more than a hundred hostels around the world. Ohana is owned by a lovely and caring family who really takes care of you at the moment you step foot on the property.

GermanyThis is by far the best Hostel I've stayed in Taiwan. It is located close to the Main Station. Beds are comfortable and it is very quiet, so you get a very good night sleep. The Hostel is very clean and well organized. The Hosts are lovely and put a lot of thought into that Hostel. 10/10

United KingdomI didn't 'dislike' it, but my only slight improvement would be curtains on the bed.
Everything! Just like the other reviews say, this place is special. Location is close to the train and bus station (but not the city - indeed, no hostels are. The government changed this apparently). Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are large, refrigerator is stocked with drinks (+ instant noodles) with an honesty system. Towel rental is free, hair dryers in the dorms. But the gem of this hostel is the family that owns it. They're so sweet, and speak good English. From helping plan your days in Taitung, to encouraging group conversations in the common room, ordering food for you - they make this place amazing. I would've stayed in Taitung longer just to stay here if I didn't have my trip planned. My girlfriend wasn't feeling well one day and they checked on her regularly throughout the day. She felt very loved! Wonderful hostel. They have had a journey too: they used to be in Taitung centre, then had to move and build their hostel from scratch. Many of the facilities are actually built by the dad! They have a photobook documenting their story. Very cute.

Canadathe hosts were so accommodating and really made it feel like a home. I have so much love for them, and really are great people to spend time with and have good conversations with. I really appreciate the time I spent with them, and are probably one of the main reasons why I would want to come back to Taiwan. 10/10 and would recommend to stay there any day of the week, also a bonus is that it’s so close to the train station so it takes no time to get there! Thank you for being so kind :)

GermanyBring some time if you stay with these lovely couple. The facility is nice, clean and has anything you need. They will make sure that you feel welcome and adopt you right away in their family. The hospitality is truly outstanding! If you need darkness to get some proper sleep, bring a sleeping mask with you.

United KingdomIt's super close to the train station, but not to the beach or city. So location depends on what you want.
This was one of the most welcoming, kind, supportive places I have ever stayed. Before I'd even stepped in the door they'd taken my luggage, cleaned the wheels, offered me a drink. They sat with me for ages while I tried to re-jig my plans. It was really like being invited into someone's home. When they found out I didn't have plans for Lunar New Year evening they invited me to have dinner with their family, alongside some other guests too. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone for the warmth and kindness alone. It also happens to be extremely clean and has all the basics there.

United StatesStaying at Ohana truly was like being invited into a family! Xingba and Xingma have so much care of their guests and have curated an atmosphere to quickly and comfortable build meaningful relationships. We came with very few travel plans and they helped us create an exciting itinerary for our 3 day stay. And each night we were welcomed home with food, drinks, and great conversation☺️ The facilities are also very clean and most of the furniture is handcarved and built by Xingba. can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!
