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...).

CroatiaIt was my mistake to choose that location while having to travel each day to New York so I had both extra fees and a 1.5 hour ride each direction to Penn Station NYC. That is, however, my mistake and choice, but it might be useful advice if someone is staying with the same plan.
It was really comfortable and clean, I had a lovely stay. The connection of public transport was satisfactory.

KenyaThe room "E" i was in had curtail rods that were not staying place. A slight touch would bring them down. I found dull worn out blue and grayish towels..not pleasing to my sight. The air conditioning was not working, just blowing air. The socket in the room wasn't working so I was charging my devices in the kitchen.
Very friendly neighborhood and people. Sharon was just great, was really helpful with information. Nearby bus stop to Penn station

TaiwanA budget-friendly option for visiting New York city, though it may take about an hour to reach the city. Both the host and co-host are friendly and helpful. The double room is comfortable, and I slept very well. Occasionally, there may be a short wait for the shared bathroom.

AzerbaijanThe socket of my room was old and I could not charge my mobile phone in the room (F). It is needed to repair this socket.
The house has various facilities to live, starting from the disinfection liquid to the fridge, washing machine, plates, various types of cups, the gas stove to cook various foods at the kitchen. The house is VERY CLEAN, all visitors have to use plastic Blue Disposable Shoe Cover OR House Slippers to keep clean all areas. The house staff are friendly and helpful. Big thanks!

CanadaI didn't like the first small room, the upstairs was cool. And for some reason the mattress in the first room was sealed in it and constantly rustled.
I stayed in August-September 2024. Good price, clean, calm, quiet. Very friendly hostess. Everything is there, even laundry for free. The only bad thing is that there was no electric kettle. There was a coffee machine there, but it didn't work. I heated water in a saucepan on the stove for coffee.There was also an oven which was very good. I booked for 8 days in different rooms. The first single room was not very comfortable and small, but I really liked the second double room on top. So if I visit New York again, I will choose this accommodation option. The only thing is that the city East Orange is not the most pleasant, but the accommodation facility is a very good choice. 15 minutes by bus to New Ark Penn Station and then 2 train stops from there to Manhattan, NYC.

United StatesI didn’t like the area but no one bothered anyone. My other dislike was that the drawers in the room needed to be cleaned out and the window blinds could use some cleaning. Also, the tone of voice the owner has when speaking could use a little adjustment. She could be gentler when speaking to people. Overall, she did her job and provided a safe and peaceful stay.
The property was as described although the initial picture shown has nothing to do with the house which can be confusing. The property was cozy and clean. My room was very nice and came with the private bathroom. I slept very well in my room. It had an A/C unit and I loved that the TV came with lots of channels. There wasn’t a lot of noise or many people running around. I enjoyed the peace. Overall, it was a beautiful stay!

MexicoThe stairs were just a little bit tilted, and while they installed a more secure lock on the front door (which is great), when I left the place (one day after the lock was replaced), there still wasn’t a handle to pull it closed. These are minor details that didn’t affect my stay at all.
It’s a great place to stay, conveniently located near many bus stops and close to Newark Penn Station. The house is always kept clean and comfortable. During my stay, there was no loud noise at night, and the price was very reasonable. I liked it very much!

United StatesI think the blue booties were quite ridiculous. I’m very anal on being clean & tidy but I didn’t see the purpose of them to be honest. The climb up the steps were treacherous as well. The people that were there when I was there never cleaned the tub as posted in the bathroom. Just an annoyance.
Location to travel to work & quietness of it all. I drove and they were accommodating on letting me park in the driveway to avoid getting a ticket.
