Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

ColombiaLack of an elevator to get to the room.
The location at the Upper West Side in front of Central Park and near subway stations, the private spaces (capsules) were comfortable and everything was clean. Very good atention from the staff.

United StatesHonestly I was pretty content overall, even if I would prefer breakfast included and I wasn't sure where the community event board was or if there was one but that's not the most important considerations

United KingdomThe lobby smelt weird for my entire stay, it wasn’t pleasant and didn’t make me want to eat in the cafe there. The WiFi was really spotty, it cut out a lot.
I liked the pod, I had a two pod room and felt as if I was in my own private room! Couldn’t hear the other person and it was nice and quiet. I enjoyed the pod as well it was very spacious. The location is right next to the subway as well so it’s easy to get to and from. And it’s next to Central Park which is great. I managed to get a good offer for three nights considering I booked last minute. It is a little pricey for a hostel but it is New York City so that’s expected.

IrelandI couldn't use the kitchen. The fridge, toaster and the rest of the place was not clean or organized. The air conditioning inside the room was very noisy so I couldn't use it during the night as it would be impossible to sleep.
The room was quite good, clean, and the bed was comfortable enough. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the location is perfect. The area is nice, calm and safe. Overall, I would say it was a good stay.

United KingdomI was in a rush when I made the booking and mistakenly booked for the female dormitory. When I arrived to check in the female staff said I must pay an additional £25 to make the changes. I was unhappy at this unexpected expense even after I initially booked for 3rd August but did no check in cuz of my flight cancellation. Sometimes considerations should be made for regular customers.

MexicoThe 6-men room was extremely tight, like you couldn't even dress without feeling you were gonna hit something. The lockers are very small and you need to bring your own lock.
Location is great, across Central Park and 4 minutes from the subway station. Delis, pharmacies and convenience stores nearby were also a plus.

NorwayCorridor bath was smelly. Kitchen was too small, not enough room to cook or store food. Food was stolen twice. Kitchen was dirty, not sure if it was cleaned daily. No proper space to sit and eat. Very little space to move and store baggage in the rooms.
Capsule style beds that gave lots of privacy and comfort. Cute little backyard. In-room bath was nice.
