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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The room was really warm, even when we turned the air conditioning right down. There is a large standing fan in the room which was appreciated, but considering it’s not super hot right now I can imagine it could be stifling in the summer months.
Lovely boutique hotel. Great location, less than a 5 min walk to Grand Central Station. Pleasantly surprised by size of room and bathroom for NYC. Room had modern decor, the bed was super comfy, and the shower was powerful and a good size. Nice to have the little creature comforts - magnifying mirror in bathroom, usb and standard plugs next to both sides of the bed, free bottled water. Really quiet for a city hotel as well, we weren’t disturbed at all which was great! All the staff are friendly and general check in and service is all very efficient. The communal areas are all nice spaces, well maintained and the bar next door/attached is cool as well. Would definitely stay again!

the concierge and space for the free coffee at morning is frankly a little small but we would not go for free coffee anyway
First time at the Renwick and we will definitely be back. Perfectly located for mid town adventures and metro at 3 mins walking. Not fancy nor posh but clean trendy and cool enough for a long stay of 11 days. Service every day, fresh towels and a coffee machine with Lavazza coffee (the real one).

The original room I moved into wasn’t in the best condition-on floor 3, I was moved to a better room the next day on the 9th floor. Prices were higher than I’d like to pay for the facilities available - no tea or coffee in the rooms as standard.
Wonderful staff, very helpful

At times, the shower had no hot water, or the water temperature kept changing while I was showering, making the experience very uncomfortable. There is no breakfast at the hotel, although there are plenty of options nearby.
The location is excellent, close to Grand Central and other subway lines. I was able to explore the city very easily. The staff are also very helpful and friendly. Comfortable bed, various lighting options in the room. Simple check in and check out.

The lighting in the rooms was excellent and varied. So many hotel rooms have such dim lighting. Bed side lights were adjustable so that you could dim as necessary. I found the terracota small tiles in the shower excellent as gave you good traction.
