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 are 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 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.).

The location has a bridge that connects it to other buildings which was perfect to stay out of the rain. We were attending a concert at the prudential and this made it easy to get there.

United StatesI didn’t get to check-in until after 3:30 because my room wasn’t ready. I was given a different room just to be able to check-in at this time otherwise, I would of had to wait even longer.
Loved the location which is across the street from Newark Penn Station and a short walk to Prudential Center.

United StatesThere was a used bar of soap in the tub with hair on it and the surrounding area. Not the end of the world, but this made me question how thoroughly the rooms are cleaned. Also had an inconvenience where my room was prepaid and they put a full hold (including room cost) on my card again. I had to go down to talk to the front desk like 2-3 times to resolve. The lady who checked me in/out was friendly but there was another women who had an attitude was not helpful at all.
The staff was very friendly, location is great and room was bigger than expected

United StatesThe ac was finicky and quite loud and the fridge was too cold and froze my groceries.
Great location. Right across the street from Newark Penn station for NJ Transit, Amtrak and Path that gets you to Manhattan and 10 minutes from Newark airport. Hotel is connected to an indoor walkway with shops and restaurants. The room was quiet and comfortable. There is a Whole Foods 10 min walk from hotel.

United StatesThere is paid parking and it is pricey. The nice thing is that you can come and go multiple times during the day and pay only one parking fee (the hotel will validate your parking). No microwave in the room which would be nice to have, but there is a microwave in the lobby that can be used.
We stayed for 2 nights while visiting New York, because we didn't want to drive into the city. The room was big and clean with very comfortable beds. Clean bathroom with great water pressure. I loved the security in the building with having to scan your hotel card at every access point. The access to Penn Station is so convenient, and we were able to take the PATH train to NYC. There is a restaurant in the lobby that had limited menu and the food wasn't the greatest.

United StatesThe room was very dusty, the room was a mobility/disability room but it needs some improvements to truly be a disability/handicapped room there was no way for me to close curtains the things to do it with were not attached and one was laying on the floor, the shower bench is at the back of the bathtub which makes it impossible for a disabled person traveling alone to reach the taps or shower head. the positioning of the shower bench also makes it difficult to transfer safely or easily from a wheelchair, the door to the room is too heavy and pushed closed too quickly which makes getting in difficult especially if you have luggage I had to get assistance from housekeeping, it was also extremely noisy and the smell of marijuana was overwhelming there was food stuck to the desk chair, stains on the carpet.
The bed was comfortable the room was large enough to move around in with a wheelchair, grab rails around the toilet made it easy to transfer. all Staff were extremely helpful and nice except for one gentleman at the front desk the morning i was checking out.

South AfricaThe website stated airport shuttle available from 5am. When requested to be dropped off at Newark airport 5:30, we were advised shuttle service operated only from 7am. This should please be corrected as we were under the assumption this service was available at 5am.
Location was walking distance to the station.
