When is the best time to go to Maolin?

The best time to visit Maolin is during the dry season, from October to March, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring the region's natural beauty. During these months, you'll experience cooler temperatures and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking to waterfalls or visiting the Purple Butterfly Valley. The skies are generally clearer, offering better conditions for photography and enjoying the scenic mountain landscapes. This period also coincides with the arrival of the purple crow butterflies, which is a major draw for visitors. The shoulder months of April, May, and September can also be good, offering fewer crowds and still relatively comfortable weather, though there's a higher chance of rain.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Maolin hotel for you.

"位在史前博物館旁，離市區有點距離，車程約15-20分鐘，有開車的話倒不會太不方便。以前都選擇住在市區，這次選擇住在這裏主要是因為計劃參觀博物館，並打算在樓下風評不錯的花里岸餐廳用餐，可惜沒有事先預約，入住時才知入住期間已經滿額，相當扼腕。不過住宿還贈送博物館的門票，這倒是意料之外的驚喜。早餐有四款可供選擇，入住兩天吃了鹹派和海鮮粥，都相當可口。櫃檯和餐廳的服務人員都相當親切有禮，房間乾淨整潔，裝潢中規中矩，入住時冷氣已事先開啟，非常貼心。"

Taitung Jujia B&B

8/10 Good

"Very clean space with excellent air conditioning. Staff were nice, not overly helpful with suggestions for food or transportation."

Luminous Hot Spring & Resort

8/10 Good

"Luminous Hot Spring Resort Taitung. A beautiful resort in the countryside, far away from any city. Beautiful landscape, spacious rooms with their own private onsen and a great buffet restaurant with local produce and dishes of aboriginal cuisine. A great place if you want calm and tranquilty. It has a spa, a hot spring outside pool, great views and beatiful lawns were you can pass the time looking at the local flora and fauna"

Formosan Naruwan Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice property, nice people. Right near train station which is good AND bad. You can literally walk there, but the area is in an undeveloped area with nothing but a 7-11 and Family Mart. You'll need some way to get to town center. I'm a biker so I just rode bicycle everywhere. Breakfast is bland as toufu. Same thing every day."
