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 AmericaLocated in Chinatown, not really rooms.. more like a storage unit. No ceiling wall, you can hear everyone around you and they can hear you. Bonus, there was a bed bug in the room I was given. Had to ask to change to another, 'room'. Overall shady place that is cheap to rent out. Oh, and the bathroom is communal and tiny.

United KingdomThis is an absolute scam this isn’t a hotel or hostel. The owner has removed every wall on the floor and put on partitions to create rooms just the size of a bed with No Roofs and hardly any space to move. I am astonished how this place even got their hotel class!

NetherlandsAll of the above, but I've seen worse in Ethiopia. And of course it is Manhattan so it is way overpriced, unlike Ethiopia where a room like this would costs less than 5 Dollar per night, way less, but probably with some more nice little animals.
Hey, it is exactly as all the reviews, so don't get disappointed. Just imagine a dorm where a small cardboard wall has been built around the bed, with only a small space in front and an open ceiling. Either you accept it or look somewhere else. A few tips though for those who are tough enough to try it: - bring an eyemask, the light is on all night and the ceiling is open. If you can sleep like by daylight: good for you. - if you don't like noise 10 cm away from you (ALL kind of noise if you know what I mean, men don't need women...) then bring good earplugs. Also many people entering at all times of the night, trying to make as much noise as possible. - bring toiletpaper. There are 2 or 3 toilets on each floor but you're lucky if there's toiletpaper in any of them. - if you're over 1.80 meter the room is too small for you. Your head will touch one wall while your feet touch the other.
