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...).

AustriaWeird angled toilet in my room was the only complaint - the angle was probably due to having to fit into an awkward space.
I found the room to be basic as expected but clean and tidy and I liked having two different outlooks as it was a corner room. The room was surprisingly quiet at night and overall I would stay here again.

AustraliaAttitude of front office staff came across as arrogant and combative at times especially when inquiring about simple things i.e. extra blanket (not used to cold weather), misplaced room keys. Contrary to that, the housekeeping staff were always lovely!
I really enjoyed the location and cleanliness of the property and facilities.

Costa RicaWe had a standard small double room and it was a tight squeeze having a couple there for 4 nights. However manageable for a short stay and nothing the hotel staff could do.
The location and proximity to major attractions and subway was a major plus and all other guests were really friendly.

NetherlandsBedrooms were very small and the stay is relatively expensive, but I guess that is just what you need to expect for NYC.
Rooms including private bathrooms had everything you needed, even extra toilets on the hallway you could make use of. Staff was very friendly and happy to help anytime. Location is great near some sightseeing places and subway stations within 3 minutes walking time.

GermanyI did need my ear plugs here. The walls are good, but through the doors I could hear conversations from across the hall. However, this is NYC and I will stay here again.
The location is superb, right on the E line that takes you most places you would want to go. The shared baths are a real plus: the marble walls and cleanliness border on luxury! There was never a capacity issue for the shared baths. Having my own sink in the room made it all easy. The staff was good.
