Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe system for getting the TV working was confusing for us low-tech types. Not the fault of the hotel, but there was overnight filming happening directly outside the window, with huge klieg lights shining in. More substantial curtains/shades would have been appreciated.
Excellent location at W. 80th and Riverside, just a few blocks from the 79th St. Metro (1 line). Extremely accommodating staff allowed us to check-in a bit early and also helped with extending the stay one night. Although small, the rooms appeared to have been recently remodeled, very well designed and good use of space, big window with view of Riverside Park and the river. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Very clean. Bathroom with water efficient features that worked well (including the shower). Unexpected and nice lobby area with plenty of tables and coffee/tea setup in the morning.

GermanyManager: The check-in process began positively with a helpful receptionist. However, the experience took a turn when the manager, speaking from the breakfast area, intrusively instructed the receptionist to charge me $50 for an early check-in, even though I only wanted to drop off my suitcase. After realizing I was not interested in paying the fee, the manager approached me directly and allowed early access to the room at no extra charge. This interaction felt rude and unprofessional. Room: The room lacks adequate soundproofing; noises from the adjacent rooms and corridor were clearly audible. Additionally, the room is quite small, making it challenging to move with a large suitcase for two people. The old windows do not seal properly, letting in drafts of cold air. This was particularly uncomfortable as the bed was positioned right next to the window.
Location: The property boasts an excellent location with a stunning river view, conveniently situated less than a five-minute walk from the subway. Room: The room is well-equipped with all necessary amenities and features a very comfortable bed, ensuring a pleasant stay.

United States of AmericaMinor quibbles: very slow elevator; more noise infiltration from the hallway than I'd have liked (but this only hpappend a few times).
The location is excellent, a short walk from the #1 subway, Fairway, Citarella, and Zabar's. The hotel is clean and sports a sleek, minimalist design. My room was quite small but laid out with "tiny house" efficiency; had an excellent, firm bed; and offered a great view over Riverside Park. Staff were very accommodating. Given the location and price, I was very pleased.

Czech RepublicIt was a bit noisy, as we got the room with the window to the interior part if the building and there were a lit of pipes. We constantly heard a noisy kind id “ventilation” noise, which was annoying especially during the night. Also, no closet in the room was a surprise…
Certainly the location and how the room was clean.

NetherlandsMayby it is possible to attach something like one or two fold-out seat(s) on the wall to make it possible to sit in your room besides on your bed. Area between the bed and window may be cleaned a little better, but I understand this will not be done every day.
Although the room was very small, as indicated and shown on the pictures and had no place to sit (but the bed), the bed was good and the shower was excellent. A quiet room and with the window open minimum inconvenience from traffic (early in the morning and at night very quiet neigbourhood, the rest of our days we spend in Ney York city :-)). In the lobby are some tables and chairs you can use and they had coffe or tea for us (after asking). Staff was very friendly and always fast in opening the door. Subway is at walking distance (79th street) and the busstop (I believe M5) is nearby. Our bed was made every day except saturday and we received plenty of clean towels.

TurkeyThe rooms were very small but we knew it while booking the room so it was not a surprise. Worth to have a smaller but fresh room for the convenient price.
The staff was helpful and friendly, rooms were newly renovated, we had a river-view room. The location was very nice, calm neighborhood but also close to Central Park, and also we enjoyed cafes and bars on nearby Amsterdam Avenue and walked to center.
