How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We arrived at the check in time and were forced to sit in the tiny lobby and wait for thirty more minutes and wait for a clean room.
It was decent from outside and we were able to walk to places to eat.

Lack of microwave and fridge. Would have been handy. Little dining table was awkward. However I would stay here again as the location, cleanliness, safety and service was fantastic.
Excellent location. I spent the first part of my trip on my own as my partner was working in a different state. I found it safe at night and easy to get to from public transport. The Friends experience is literally 3 minutes away. The room was fine, no microwave or fridge as space in nyc is limited. Can get coffee and tea any time for free (although as it’s the USA you should tip). For a couple space was ok, slightly more room than what we had in places like Tokyo. Just enough room for two luggages.

The hotel and its accommodations are clean, accompanied by a really friendly staff. It is situated conveniently close to a subway station, and ideal for exploring Manhattan on foot. Continental breakfast is provided, and for quick snacks, there's a great bodega and corner store nearby. Bagels & Schmear was our favorite, which is a couple of blocks away. An excellent value for a Manhattan boutique hotel, I highly recommend it and look forward to returning!

Overpriced for the actual offer in terms of rooms and breakfast. Little food for breakfast, no variety. Breakfast served in the lobby, there is no separate eating area. Quite noisy, little soundproof isolation. They give earplugs upon arrival, which are helpful during the night. Still, noise from the road and other rooms can be heard distinctly during the day.
Room service with hot drinks h24. Awesome location, near NY amenities and all public transports. Very helpful and corteous staff.

I thought the hotel was very clean and quiet. The staff was quite nice and accommodating. They offered a continental breakfast though I didn't get a chance to eat it. The only thing I would change is the parking options and the balcony was a bit unfinished. Overall, great stay. Great location!

The room was very small and squishy. As we were travelling internationally with 2 big suitcases and lots of warm coats, that maybe made it few extra small, but we weren’t in the room much anyway so it didn’t bother us all that much.
The location was perfect in terms of being a great distance from everywhere in Manhattan. We could easily walk to lots of hotspots, but mostly used the subways as there were plenty of stations nearby to get us around. The breakfast was your typical continental, nothing flash but everything that you need.

Lightning in the room could be better.
The location in Midtown is perfect, a few steps away from two subway stations (23 St and 28 St), close to a CVS and a Whole Foods market. The shower is excellent. The mattress is very good. The staff is gentle and easy going. They store your luggage when you arrive hours before check-in time and after you check out. You can send online purchases to their address before you even arrive to NYC!
