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.).

United Statesthat I couldn't stay longer. I truly have no gripes or issues with this hotel. A historic, lavish and inspiring hotel that I will come back to any chance I get to be in New York.
The iconic Hotel Chelsea lives up to the hype. You can't help but be inspired to live out your bohemian New York fantasies when you walk in the door and are handed a red-tasseled room key. The beds are luxuriously comfy with incredible pillows. The bathrooms are stunning. Even the closet wallpaper is dreamy. I've stayed in 3 types of rooms now at the Chelsea and all are incredible. The Petite Chelsea is SMALL - this room is not meant for more than 1 person or someone with a ton of luggage. But the regular Chelsea (ask for a balcony or bathtub upgrade!) are a more than comfy size for 1-2 people. Turn-down service each night is a lovely welcome. The staff and level of service are impeccable. I also visited the spa for a treatment and would live on that rooftop spa if I could - excellent services and incredible atmosphere. There are always characters in the Lobby bar for people watching too.

AustraliaA Beautiful historical hotel. If you’re going to stay in New York you need to include a hotel like this. You walk in and you feel the NYC vibe, you wake up and you know you’re in New York. Other Hotels you stay at could be anywhere in the world, bland, soulless, a dime a dozen. Not the Hotel Chelsea, it breathes New York City and you’ll go home with beautiful memories that will stay with you forever.

United StatesThe Hotel Chelsea's historic role as an icon of NYC art and culture remains even after an upgrade and restoration. The Chelsea vibe is strong, still evoking the transformative art and music culture of the 1960s and earlier eras of New York history. The staff, restaurants, location, design, and decor (as well as comfort - always important in hotels!) work together beautifully. We also greatly appreciated the free room upgrade we received at check-in.
