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.).

United Arab Emirateswas surprised there were no in-room coffee options like an espresso machine, and water wasn’t complimentary — something most hotels of this level usually offer.
Spacious rooms, incredibly comfortable and large beds, and a fantastic location. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort and convenience in the heart of New York.

United KingdomOur room didn't really get any sunlight so was a little dark but we didn't really spend much time inside apart from sleeping.
A great hotel in a fabulous location, offered free bottled water at reception at any time and free wine every day between 1pm and 7pm! The food in the hotel restaurant was lovely - had a breakfast and a dinner there during our stay when we were too tired to go out anywhere else. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Beds are very comfy and it was clean and the turndown service each night was a lovely touch. Would stay again.

CroatiaMaybe the closet could be better size, but there are shelves in the room so everything can be put out of the suitcase.
We like the location of the hotel, everything is close by but it is not a busy street. Room was good size with huge TV, bathroom was really nice with a bath, beds were perfect to get a good night sleep after running around all day long. Staff was amazing and helped with all our requests immediately.

United StatesI wish there was coffee served in the lobby in the morning. It was easy enough to go across the street to a coffee shop, but it’s a nicer touch and more convenient to take the elevator downstairs and have grab and go coffee available.
Great location near Bryant Park and short walk from Grand Central. Room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Plenty of room and lovely, good-sized bathroom. We did not eat breakfast there, but Parker and Quinn’s menu looked very good.

United StatesSee above
There was a smell on the 8th floor that was rancid. The room was nice enough. But I couldn't stay in there too long. The hallway was worse. Very bad. The front desk was nice enough but didn't really know what was in the room in terms of electrical outlets. He also sent me to what was likely the worst restaurant recommendation in NY. They need to train their staff better.

United StatesMy room was a bit dusty, Mainly on the picture frame and behind the small tables beside the bed. It wasn’t a bad room, but I expected a bit more attention to detail for the price.
The location is excellent. Bryant Park and many City attractions are within walking distance. The room was good, and the hotel's showers were fantastic.

United KingdomI was not sure about the Hotel to begin with. It seemed very dark, a bit too quirky for my taste, with a weird picture on my bedroom wall. Was it trying to be too clever, too different, providing an experience rather a comfortable setting? However, the Hotel really "grew" on me and I was really enjoying my stay there by the time I left. It felt very warm and welcoming. I enjoyed arriving at the dimly lit reception with its jazz music (sometimes live). The staff were so friendly and helpful. I enjoyed retreating to my room along the snaking corridors with their bewildering chequered patterns. I loved the roof terrace with its views of the Empire State building, and we had coffee and a snack there. We ate in Parker and Quinn restaurant. The hotel used to be a hat factory and I enjoyed the nods to its industrial past incorporated into the boutique hotel. The location is great.
