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 AmericaLittle flexibility for cooking for non-vegan people, there are house rules, however as a visitor I believe some flexibility should be allowed.
I loved the location, very quiet to be in NYC. Easily reachable from the metro, walking distance to a few good places to eat.

CanadaThe location is about an eight minute walk to the subway, so it was very convenient. However, you should know that this part of New York is a bit gritty. As well, unfortunately, both yoga classes, and the included breakfast have not been available since the start of Covid and therefore someone is on site only during limited hours. However, when contacted, they were helpful.
I came with my two granddaughters for a long weekend in New York. The Sanctuary suited our group. It was helpful having a kitchen as we ate breakfast in each morning. As well, there was a small private patio and as the weather was great, we usually ate outside. The place was very quiet and the beds were comfortable.

United States of AmericaCannot believe we found a deal like this in Mahattan. Nice room for a hotel in general, with our own patio and a kitchen! Absolutely exception considering that it's in the middle of Manhattan. And for the price it's an absolute steal. Pretty good location, near Essex Market and a train station. Staff was super friendly and responsive to messages. Would absolutely stay again.

FranceWe were looking for a room for a few nights after staying in another hotel in midtown manhattan, and we were lucky to find availability at the Sanctuary NYC retreat. The area (in lower east end) is awesome: it is very lively with a metro station very close with a big choice of options for good food (restaurants and take-away, some of them even available quite late).The room was very clean, comfortable, and convenient for a family (the children could sleep on the sofa bed). We enjoyed the unique atmosphere of the hotel. The assistant manager, Kaileigh, was very kind, helpful and accommodating. We really appreciated our stay!

United KingdomNothing serious, but absence of staff to ask questions. Although the property felt safe at all times. Our balcony was welcome, but was noisy due to all surrounding ac units.
Great location, quiet. even though the property is in a bustling residential neighbourhood, it was very calm. clean and tidy, although a little cramped for 3 people.

CanadaWhat a fantastic surprise! The room (suite? apartment?) was very large and had a bunch of amenities, including a full kitchen, which was very useful to have to store food and just feel at home when I needed a cup or plate. Did I mention the room can with a large patio balcony? This became a little oasis with the hustle of NYC! The vibe of the place was also quite zen. Staff were very friendly and welcoming! Bed and bedding were comfy, and I was able to do work effectively on the desk in the room. Also, excellent location! A fantastic stay for unbelievable value!

United States of AmericaThe street outside the windows facing Stanton could be a bit loud in the morning, and the heating unit made a lot of noise when in use, but these were minor issues that didn’t cause any real discomfort.
The location of this property was fantastic. Located in the lower east side, it was a quick walk to the subway to reach other parts of the city, or an easy walk to explore the surrounding neighborhood. The hotel was mostly quiet and the staff was extremely helpful! Even though we did a late self check in, the process was stress free, and very simple.
