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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

SingaporeA bit of a hassle if you are living on the fourth floor as the lift doesn't reach that floor. I was carrying a huge luggage and took half my life lifting it up. Apparently they have a dryer in location but I couldn't locate it.
Location is great. 2 minute walk from the station. Room was clean and the shared showers were decent as well. Great for a short stay as there is a large night market right beside the hostel.

MalaysiaI booked a room shared bathroom, but there’s no toilet on my floor. I have to go to another floor to use it. As a woman, it feels unsafe to go out at night just to use the toilet. The hotel should provide at least one toilet on each floor.
The room is spacious and clean. There’s an elevator, so it’s easy for travellers with luggage. Very close to the train station—just a 2–3 minute walk from Boulevard Formosa Station. For Muslim travellers, halal food is nearby too about a 9–10 minute walk to an Indonesian restaurant.

Super near to Formosa Boulevard station (on red line). Stayed with them 6 years ago (as Light Hostel back then) and now things are even better as they renovated few of the rooms! Near to the famous night market and price is really friendly. Just stay here if you are travelling in Kaoshiung you wont get disappointed.

United KingdomYou have to take your shoes off when you enter and swap to their slippers when entering the property, not really possible to change for coins for washing machine after reception closes. There is nothing I can really complain about this place, it is a very well ran hostel.
Second stay at this place now, it is very good value for money and the location is perfect. Although the single room had no window, it was clean and quiet and very comfortable with air con. The lack of window actually made me sleep much better!

MalaysiaI was assigned to the bed next to the door. Unfortunately, I met a worst roommate. She closed the door, making banging noise. I woke up twice at midnight because of her. The next day, I gave feedback to the management. And I'm great that only staying 1 night, otherwise it was really painful due to the noise.

SingaporeWe booked a room for 4. The room given is a tad small for us. But can't ask for much for a hostel.
The environment is comfortable and relaxing. The mrt station is just in front of the accommodation and the night market is less than 3 minutes walk. Super convenient.
